I'm still having trouble getting through the album. I can't just let it play--some of the tracks are a sound from the past that I thought was terrible. Wind chimes and bad modular effects from the 80s that sound like a dying moose... Because we need more of that.
In other news, I'm liking other tracks better with each listen. Still a very well produced album, despite it failing as a whole on many levels.

I peer-reviewed "lose yourself to dance" yesterday evening at the club to a drunk crowd of around 100 persons and they seemed to genuinely like it! I played a remix however with a bit more beat:

Liam Gallagher of Oasis, apparently is bashing DP, saying he could've written Get Lucky in an hour.
Such a douchebag

I love this album!
It's not what I expected which is what I expected
I loved opening up the sleeve notes and seeing all of the orchestra listed - they've really taken their time and put their heart and soul into this. It's more human than anything they've written before, so maybe they should have removed the masks. It's clearly not a Daft Punk record, and I like that the tracks featuring well known artists have their own signature as the foundation of the songs.
What a great intro Give Life Back to Music has, lovely opener!
Giorgio by Moroder is just excellent! Though I'd like an instrumental too.
A highlight of the album, though I do wonder what Instant Crush would sound like with The Strokes guy's vocals without a vocoder.
Touch is nice, quite raw at points and a big festival at others.
Get Lucky still makes me smile and sad at the same time as it reminds me of a girl.
Clearly Panda Bear in Doin' it Right.
Contact has that Falcon intro, and the live drums are unexpected but they work really well. I just wish it went on for longer. EPIC

And I agree with Iggy totally - Contact is EPIC. Should have been longer. But I love the record end with all the rolling and scratching before the spaceship flies up again. I was pretty much in shock the first few days this was not a chemical brothers song. I can't imagine when my LP arrives how I will prolly want to play contact first. One of daft punks best song ever. I'm glad they are still writing stuff that shows them they are top of their game. Back just like that after a mental coma of 12 yrs.
4.40am, sleepless and heating contact on headphones. Those drums. I think daft punk were hearing Saturate when they wrote this and Giorgio. Rave music.

Nah--that wasn't bad. Not as fantastic as the Wizard of Oz + Dark Side of the Moon, but good.
Did you actually listened to Pink Floyd over Oz? I read years ago that it was ultimate trip, but was always skeptical about it.

Yeah, my friends and I were big stoners in high school and synched it up.
The truth is that when you put music to visuals, something is always going to happen. The Pink Floyd + Oz had a lot of coincidences in it, though. Granted, while getting stoned is not required, it is suggested.

Two collaborators on RAM were there too. Todd Edwards was dj-ing (I missed him, but as he has collaborated on the worst track on RAM, I wasn't going to go out of my way...) and Panda Bear of Animal Collective. I saw about the last 20 minutes of their set.
Best acts at Field Day for me were Django Django and Palma Violets.
Best piece of serendipity was finding Charanjit Singh, a veteran Bollywood soundtrack composer (I've Googled him since Saturday) playing live acid house with an Indian vibe on Roland synths. Heads started bobbing and didn't stop...
