The real highlight for me on this song is again the vocoders, they back up Pharrell's vocals perfectly and will certainly make this track another number 1 single contender. The guitar by Nile Rodgers is fantastic as well as another great vocal performance by Pharrell. After this we have the next single "Lose Yourself To Dance" and easily one of the funkiest and grooviest songs on the album. As a big Strokes fan, I have always dreamed of this sort of collaboration between my favourite artists and it really delivered! Julian's solo is actually fantastic on here as well and really suits the track (I could try and explain this track but it wouldn't give it justice). Then onto "Instant Crush", another highlight on the album and great vocal work from Julian Casablancas. After you hear Giorgio say "My name is Giovanni Giorgio, but everybody calls me Giorgio" then the track really lets go with a fantastic synth line that Moroder himself would be mightily proud of! "Within" is another slowed down track that has beautiful moments to it and I think that Chilly Gonzales' piano sounds beautiful here but it doesn't quite rate up with Daft Punk's usual ballad-esque songs. It starts with Giorgio Moroder talking about how he got into music and discovered the synthesizer. "Giorgio By Moroder" is easily one of the highlights on this album and is one of Daft Punk's musical highlights of their career in my opinion. "The Game Of Love" brings us straight back to those beautiful melancholic tracks that we've seen from Daft Punk (Something About Us and Make Love) and the vocoders on this track are a real highlight, you can see the work they have put in to make sure they sound as human as possible. Right from the get go with "Give Life Back To Music" you can see the intent the Daft boys have with this album, its got great melodies and groove, fantastic production and once again those infamous Daft Punk vocoders. I highly recommend sitting down with a good set of headphones or through a solid hifi system and immersing yourself in this album because it is a masterpiece. After all the hype the album has been given, you would be surprised to see it even come close but boy does it blow any expectations out of the water! I've been a fan of Daft Punk for a long time now and found myself purchasing almost any piece of music that has got Thomas' or Guy-Man's fingerprints on, so when this album was announced I experienced an anticipation for an album that I had never experienced before (this was before even the incredibly clever marketing strategy really took off).
