10 Best Daft Punk Songs Ever
10. Touch - Random Access Memories
Ever since the early '90s, you weren't really going to mistake a Daft Punk track for anything else. Aside from the usual dance beats, most of the fans knew what they were getting whenever they threw on something like Homework or Discovery, that being some of the most infectious house tracks ever made. That's not all to the cyborgs' story though.
Going into the recording of Random Access Memories, the duo created some of the richest sonic textures they had ever conceived, with Touch being one of the cleanest productions they have ever come out with. While still being rooted in the retro pastiches of the record, the modern touch that they have on the production side of things is immaculate, with every little synth in its exact right place. Along with a vocal by Paul Williams over the top, this is one of the many songs on the record that really feels like being taken on a journey with sound.
Aside from just the regular melodic side, this is a song that really can't be appreciated unless you have headphones, which broaden out the entire sonic space once you hear every single instrument broken down into its rawest form. Despite the fact that no one knew this would be our last taste of a full Daft Punk project, this was still a great way to show how far they had come as producers.
