D onna Summer, I Remember Yesterday (Casablanca, 1977) See, especially, the rhapsodic anthem “Le Freak” and the glamorous, amorous pining in “I Want Your Love.”Ģ. Mixing funk density with the weightlessness of a blown kiss, Rodgers’s rhythm guitar in “Get Lucky” and a couple other standouts is a shameless reproduction of early Chic. Random Access Memories would be unthinkable without the presence of Nile Rodgers - as would, come to think of it, much of disco. So, if you find yourself inspired by Daft Punk to spend the summer gazing at the ocean in a pair of pressed white linen pants and Wayfarers while sipping a piña colada and listening to spaced-out soft disco and Christopher Cross, here are 30 albums that probably helped inspire Random Access Memories. But the album has been getting mostly great reviews since then, and looks set to sell big. The initial reaction to Daft Punk’s hugely anticipated Random Access Memories was slightly shocked, as eager fans realized that, far from the set of summer-dance anthems promised by the first single “Get Lucky,” it’s actually an eccentric reimagining of retro sounds often deemed beyond good taste: yacht rock, Euro-disco, jazz fusion, Broadway-musical piano ballads.
