i kind of feel like that looking back on this album in the future the build up and promotion of the album might be more important than the album itself, if that makes any sense. The fact that my friends with little knowledge of dance music history are now name dropping niles rodgers and giorgio is a testament to the way that daft punk have used their considerable spotlight to shine on their heros and inspiration when promoting their own massively hyped album. I have found myself digging into older jams thanks to the influences that have been cited in the collaborators videos. even if this album isnt as groundbreaking as many thought it would be, it will still be interesting to see if the dance music zeitgeist takes a turn towards some of the sounds found on this album thanks to the emphasis put on these older influences.
