*This* is the exact reason I wanted to fight the people who bullied me throughout school who said that there was "something wrong with me" if Daft Punk was my favorite artist. Everything they make goes SO much deeper than what the majority of people hear. I am a choir girl who was classically trained and will forever be a music nerd whose favorite genre is house music. Those two concepts seem completely opposite (human vs robot) but they actually make more sense together if you examine further (Daft Punk). Also, it makes me feel better that they got their name from a "bully" music critic. They made something truly beautiful out of it

[@blacklite911]

Thanks for doing this and explaining WHY it’s a masterpiece. I feel like it’s so underrated EVEN though it won Grammys, it’s still underrated. It’s so conceptually deep yet accessible so I feel like people don’t get past the first layer. They aren’t just playing you songs, they’re TELLING you a story through music. It’s sharing a journey

[@diggingthegreats]

Exactly 🔥

underrated ??? i dont think so. its very much a piece of history.

[@guillaumeraux]

Biggest Daft Punk fan here (and absolutely freaking love your channel, it is always gold). A few more cool anecdotes: 1) Horizon (the Japanese Bonus Track), uses Machine Drums at first and then transitions into organic Drums in the middle of the track. 2) I've always felt like Contact was their spaceship launching (pretty obvious metaphor) and Horizon was them floating in space. 3) Giorgio Moroder, when seeing the 3 microphones from 3 different eras in the Studio, reportedly (from his own admission) asked the sound engineer: "Who the hell will hear the difference between the 3 microphones". The sound engineer answered: "Oh, nobody! But they will." ("They" being Daft Punk, obviously). 4) Pharell came up with the lyrics from Get Lucky's hook while tipsy/drunk: he was tired from the jet lag. 5) Human After All was made in a rush (a few weeks), based on the famous dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell (Bangalter's words IIRC). It was meant to represent the fear of Technology (hence the purposeful rush in creating the album). 6) The people at NASA were reportedly super stoked to share samples with the Robots. 7/ The 1 million it cost to record RAM was self-financed by the band, so they had no obligation to release anything. 8/ They recorded the sound of a busy restaurant by placing microphones in front of the forks of a group of people and the effect of dripping water recorded on a soundstage. 9/ Give Life Back to Music is the first track for a reason: When RAM was released, Bangalter and Guy-Man went on tour in French radios, explaining that they were tired of "Electronic Music consisting of remixes of remixes of remixes" and wanted to go back to something "more organic". RAM is also a way to give organic material to sample for future generations of musicians: a way to pay it back. 10/ On that note, after RAM was released, Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington (the band DARKSIDE) recorded an entire Remix Album of RAM, under the name of Daft Side. It's called "Random Access Memories Memories". "Beyond" and "Give Life Back to Music" from them are two of my favorite all-time Daft Punk remixes: Beyond is very Pink Floydish/trippy. An LSD trip under the milky way in the desert. if "Pink Floyd and Daft Punk had a child", it's that song. Give Life Back to Music is very experimental but hands-down the BEST EARGASM I've ever had. And it's a direct reference/allegory to that "Give Life Back to Music" -> going back to a more soulful organic sound, rather than "electronic saturation". I'd pay good money to live that first time again, but beware: - You need to put on good headphones and close your eyes. - Keep the volume as up as you can humanly handle. - The first part is purposefully overly saturated. It's normal, it's uncomfortable, it will be painful. But you need that first part to enjoy the second. - DON'T turn the volume down before the drop. Go through these 2 minutes and 52 seconds of pain and discomfort. It's worth it. Trust me. You'll thank me later: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJjEdIF9j5eqgKM

[@chloemchll3774]

🙏🙏thank you, this means a lot

[@brotherkhrayn3525]

Right?!? I NEVER thought this album told a story like Discovery did!

[@DSmicklas]

This channel has the best music history dives I've found. Shit I've wanted to know about for years, and a ton of stuff I never knew I wanted to know.

[@pasi8800]

RAM is a absolute classic of an album and you totally matched it's greatness with your analysis!

[@Painted_Owl]

RAM was completely lost on me as a kid back when it first released, but has essentially become the anthem of my life in recent times. Over the past four years, I’ve gone through this long journey of discovery, healing and self love, and RAM was something that I’ve constantly gone back to, although I never knew why. I just thought it was good music, but looking back at it now, the whole album was a complete story of what it was that I was going through. I had no idea I was playing those songs while learning to let go and love myself. I love the album even more now. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@TheTheoTherone]

Man, 10 years ago I listened to this album and loved it. But DANG! Never thought about all these connections you just dropped. You are a true professor, sir. Thanks you! Giving RAM another listen tonight, and forevermore with all this new insight!!

[@ShawnTewes]

This video demonstrates that this album is more than just really well recorded groovy funky and soulful music, but it's a journey of humanity and emotions, has a wonderful arc, and has a wonderful lesson in learning to just let go and be free and alive. The album and this analysis has touched me deeply. You could say it opened the door behind the door. Thank you.

[@andrian-v]

Holy shit, I really underappreciated Random Access Memories back when I was in high school. Few days ago, I rediscovered Daft Punk again and listened to their whole discography excluding Tron ones, and I really really adore them now. RAM for me was a bit weird since it includes a lot of "natural instruments" and "human voices" as you say, but when you say they're sampling humans, it just clicked. And you took an 8/10 album for me into goddamn MASTERPIECE.

[@jerrymiemarcus]

Did you give Tron a try? It's kinda cool :)

[@arnzidge]

Aaaa you must listen to the tron ones! It's a different to their usual style but honestly it's their best imo! Really brings me back when I was a child haha

[@andrian-v]

@@arnzidge I will, eventually! I'm starting to collect their whole discography on vinyl records so I will listen to it

[@edwardwooji]

Tron soundtrack might be some of their best work

[@settheory2219]

I thought they did an excellent job scoring Tron, but I never found the music all that enjoyable to listen to on its own.

[@ZZ-sb8os]

@18:30 I was 17 a year after the release of 'Homework', and was the lone "techno" fan in a sea of rock and hip/hop fans, arguing that Daft Punk was the future of music and getting heaps of shit for the effort. Most of the bands that my friends would have claimed at the time to be the future of music were gone shortly after, and none of them, 100 years from now, will be known and remembered and will have their music still be remixed the way Daft Punk will. They will go down in musical history as one of the greatest ever, thank you for this truly excellent video on their work.

[@philipmcp]

Their love of "Phantom of the Paradise" runs so deep. Referencing "legend of the Phoenix" and bringing in Paul Williams feels like a culmination of their passion for the film.

[@T_R_O_Y_McClure]

Good call. Phantom is so overlooked. Love it.

[@USSMariner]

​@@T_R_O_Y_McClure gendy tartakovsky apparently loved the film too. There's an entire episode of Dexter's Lab based around it, including a guest role for Paul Williams *as he looked during the film*.

[@Fernysm]

Hell yeah. This came out during one of my hardest breakups and it always felt really appropriate for that part of my life. Such a great album. Amazing breakdown!

[@tatsu8886]

I started listening to Daft Punk a few years ago, well after R.A.M came out and decided to go back through the catalogue of their music and it's really amazing seeing their body of work. To note, I am primarily a Hard Rock & Heavy Metal fan (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc) so a Robot duo known for popular House music from France is probably not the first pick of music most would think of lol. They're amazing, their talent and passion for creating an experience, telling a story and really letting you think and feel is 2nd-to-none. I am sad they broke up a few years ago, but I am doing my best to just enjoy what we have and hope that maybe one day.. they may reunite. Your video breakdown was amazing. Touch and Giorgio by Moroder are my favorite songs on R.A.M and I never grow tired of hearing them.

[@WC.mp3]

Discovery is my favorite. The samples on face to face and aerodynamic 👌 And the disco part mixes so well with there sampling technique

[@SPYTHandle]

When was 13 I suddenly realized I loved music but had no idea what genre I like. Aerodynamic was my first "favourite" song ever. I regard it as finding my musical path! It's like they sent me on it ❤

[@thegil-martingetaway8804]

man oh man... digging the greats, you are doing more for sampling, hip-hop and wider music culture than any other channel i've seen on this platform. When im running low on inspiration I listen to one of your deconstructions and you immediately remind me how beautiful and emotionally compelling music can be. Keep it up man, big love

[@Lexicakes]

This is one of my favorite albums, but I didn't realize how conceptual this album was. Great in depth video!

[@theblueyank]

this was an amazing vid Brandon. I was swept away by this album when it came out in 2013 - it hit me at just the right time in life. can't say I was a huge fan of DP before this album so it sort of came across my path when a friend recommended it to me on a whim because of the 70s and 80s undercurrent that ran through the songs. A decade later and I still find myself falling in love with this album over and over again but now I have an idea WHY. Truly an immense piece of work, it's interconnectivity and subtext is so subtle that it doesn't disturb the sonic journey that a casual listener would be on, it's just there to encourage you to look a little bit deeper.

[@leahmacdonald5122]

I love that Daft Punk were not only skilled and clever musicians but also great storytellers and it's something you don't see a lot of.

[@myBquest]

I love the drums in the last album so much that when they announced they were releasing the Drumless edition, I was like, what?? I hated the idea. I gave it a try. And now I understand why they did it. Everything is so clear and the quality is top notch. The fact that they decided to retire is heartbreaking, they are such geniuses.

[@crytstalcrust]

honestly i belive if they were still here it wouldn’t be as good , we have tones of music from them i think it’s fine there gone

[@thomaslenhard3088]

i think they realised they couldn't do any better and decided to stop when they are still at their peak. if they tried to go on and couldn't deliver it would have destroyed their legacy! so it's sad they ended daft punk, but i'm pretty sure it's for the better! 😥

[@BLUE_OCTOBER-TRIX]

I’m super happy to be able to listen to it whenever I’d like, though it’s very bitersweet knowing that this is likely the last Daft Punk album ever. I’d love a sequel.

[@13_13k]

I really dig your breakdown videos. I'm a fan of Daft Punk but never delved deep into their music. I've never listened to this album, but I am interested now being that it was made with such a cool concept of having "human sampling" as a way to get new beats and loops. With the talent they brought into the studio i'm sure it's musically a masterpiece. But, from the small snippetts you've played from the tracks on the album it seems that it's a lot of low energy music. I could be wrong. But that's the vibe I'm getting. That's not a bad thing at all, if your mood is in sync to that. I'll have to listen to some tracks to find out for myself. Thanks for yet another great video.

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

The 'human sampling' element reminds me a lot of the recording process behind 'Casandra Gemini' by Mars Volta. Same idea - extended, hours long jam-sessions that would then get culled down to create a monster 32-minute track in a psuedo-jazz standard arrangement, all while most of the musicians had absolutely no clue what was going on with the bigger picture.

[@Bob_Smith19]

Thank you so much.

[@Carbojaco]

And I can't get off my mind that the frenchiest vibe of the album is definitely "touch"... If love is the answer then how could they not think about the place they grew up in ? Music is the way to hold on to these past feelings. The random access to these memories. Gives me the goosebumps each time I ear it.

I've been waiting for for this video ever since I read the Sound on Sound article years ago. Great research. Great content. This is amazing. Thank you.

THIS video MUST be shown in every music class in the world! Pure education showing the pure ART of this band. Let's start a petition to do that!

Loved this album from start to finish; having this album on my phone I played it more than almost anything else I own. And it's good EVERY time. Like your favorite movie you can't get enough of. I never got the comments about it fairing off from what they where. The journey they were trying to portray was so obvious to me. And even if you didn't got that the whole vibe of it is amazing; the build up of every song, the story each song has in it, the sound effects that lead up to it. I remember putting the album on the morning after a good party with everybody slowly waking up; half of the people where floating away on it, the other half just didn't get it.. Which is fine, it doesn't need to be for everybody. Thank you for such a amazing break down of the album, came here from your similarly amazing break down of "discovery". Subscribed!

Absolutely love the narration of the journey that is Random Access Memories. Also, brilliant video editing work. Do you do all of this yourself? Awesome stuff

After this breakdown, amazing job, btw. I gotta go back and re-listen to this whole album.

Amazing video man, I love all the musicians they pulled onto this album but never made the connection until I saw this video. You’re awesome, keep it up!

This album makes my heart sing. So much ingenuity and passion. Thank you for unpacking the goods!

i cannot express enough, how glad i am you made these. You are super on point, very well informed and prepared, NOT ANNOYING, down to earth, not trying to be fake cool - these are regular music analysis on a high level taking on decades of music. Respect, my good sir. Respect. Facts over wow. As a long time DP fan, this is like a DVD bonus for your favorite movie. Thank you. Also, the Face to face analysis broke my brain :D Cheers!

Watched this video like 5 times already, I can't stop.

My man, I keep bumping into your videos for the past few months and after every single I think this one might be a fluke - no one puts so much work into making such high grade content. And then I'm pleasantly surprised when video after video I see the same awesome quality content. I've given up and subscribed to you. Keep making this awesome shit - this is what I want the internet to be like.

Thanks for breaking this album down. I have listened to this album for the first time from start to finish. Get Lucky was played so much, I didn’t want to listen to the album. I finally did (after seeing elsewhere how much people loved it). And now I’m here. I’m gonna give it another listen at some point.
