After a long hiatus, Daft Punk returned with Random Access Memories (Daft Life, 2013), a collection of incredibly trivial melodies and beats, the ultimate late-night lounge muzak for a drunk melancholic audience, virtually the antithesis of everything they had done before in the field of electronic dance music. The album is a tribute of sorts to the 1970s, and it includes some of the commercial heroes of that decade (we even get a Giorgio Moroder lecture in the middle of the jazzy and neoclassical jam Giorgio By Moroder), but it is all sterilized and glacially un-emotional. The lightweight disco-era funk of Give Life Back To Music, Get Lucky and Lose Yourself To Dance (that imitate the likes of Chic, which were not exactly Beethoven) betray a colossal dearth of imagination. We don't even get good musicianship, let alone good ideas. There is about one minute in Touch of charleston-like beat with a jovial trumpet: that's as much fun as one gets. These are not laid-back ballads: these are lifeless songs drenched in nostalgia. In the 1970s it was hard to imagine anything more devoid of meaning that a ballad by Hall & Oates or Steely Dan: give it a nostalgic, extremely slow, interpretation and, voila, even the worst of the worst can get worse. The robotic vocals are generally an even worse affront, but Julian Casablancas of the Strokes manages to make them sound human in Instant Crush. Shame on Panda Bear for lending his voice to yet another robotic song, Doin' It Right. A better album would have consisted of the prog-rock instrumentals Motherboard and Contact, which are instead left half-baked.

elseq.jpg
24KB, 500x500px
It may be a bit early to even say this because forget just me nobody else has truly fuly processed this, but honestly the sheer ambition on display in elseq is insane. There's top tier sound manipulation going on here whether it's on a macro level like on elseq 1 and 4 or on a far more micro level like on elseq 2 and 3 (they aren't repeating forever with nothing happening at all stfu with that meme.)

I do like how with the manipulation of the sound that's being played being the main thing, the work's from a rhythmic perspective very versatile, ranging from techno to hip hop and everything in between.

This album is the ambient subtleties of the usual Aphex/BOC/older Autechre, this album is the sexy grooves of something like Zomby or Arca, this album is serializing timbre like Stockhausen's earlier works. It's all encompassing.

Who knows? Maybe in some time, once I have really gotten my way through it I may not feel that way, but considering how past Autechre albums have been, and how much it's just constantly offering, idk if that'll happen.

"Electronic" is a musical style, not a type of production. Yeah, hip hop beats are produced similarly, but that's not what we're talking about in this here thread.

May as well take your logic to extremes and declare any music that isn't 100% acoustic instruments in a live performance as electronic.
