Nicolas Jaar's Record Store Day release transforms "Sleeping Ute" into a sprawling 8-minute affair of musical complexity. My record player has never been the same.
Oh, and while it may seem like I'm a little late to the listening party, the truth is the opposite. It just took me 4 weeks to process what was happening in my head.
Yeah, that good.
Happy DFA Day!
I've run away to NY for DFA's 12 year anniversary tonight. I'm way too excited. To understand, just watch the amazing mini doc above Too Old To Be New, Too New To Be Classic. It's narrated by comedy grumpy dad Marc Maron and is a cool recap of the cool label's 12 year history. Did I mention how stoked I am for tonight? I'm so going to dance myself clean.

aaronrutledge: Here's a quick analysis of the album structure...
Here's a quick analysis of the album structure for Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. After discussing it at length with a few friends, I wanted to find the real details as to why the album structure was so great.
Here's what I've found:
- They have paced the album to have a mirror structure tonally. The "1st Half" and "2nd Half" of the album are almost the exact same length, and the entire album uses Touch as a central balance point.
- Given Touch's melodramatic tone, they've placed both of the tracks with the strongest groove (both happen to be Pharrell's guest tracks) right before and after Touch.
- The two slowest tracks are each 1 place from the beginning and end, to keep the overall balance of the album in equilibrium.
- There's amazing attention to detail in the key changes from track to track. Most easily noticeable in the Chilly Gonzales piano segue from track 3 to 4.
TLDR; Daft Punk have focused on creating something that is intended to be listened to from front-to-back, without any real focus on getting the "singles" in front of you as early as possible. This is something not seen too often in popular music since most things have moved to digital track sales.
