My favorite of these is an eight-minute track that edits together the sessions of DP and artist Todd Edwards working out the details of 'Fragments of Time.' It's a blast to hear the studio chatter and to get a behind the scenes glimpse of the duo's writing process. The result was a mushy, otherworldly concept LP that was retro, futuristic, trippy, and weirdly human all at once.

Having played a massive role in the rise of EDM in the late '00s, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo turned away from EDM altogether for a Seventies disco record featuring appearances by Donna Summer producer Giorgio Moroder and Chic's Nile Rodgers (who played guitar on the gigantic hit 'Get Lucky'). But Random Access Memories is also Daft Punk's most personal work, and richly rewarding for listeners willing to spend time with it. For the casual Daft Punk fan, this album might be harder to love than 'Get Lucky' hinted it might be too nostalgic, too overblown, a shirking of the group's duty to rescue dance music from the Young Turks who cropped up in their absence. It's the kind of grand, album rock statement that listeners of the '70s and '80s would have spent weeks or months dissecting and absorbing - the ambition of Steely Dan, Alan Parsons, and Pink Floyd are as vital to the album as any of the duo's collaborators.
