Dutch Vinyl's Album of the Year

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Random Access Memories used live musicians, detailed studio recording and disco history rather than relying only on programmed dance production. Get Lucky provided the global hit, while Giorgio by Moroder and Touch gave the album room to explain its influences. It treats recording craft as part of the subject, not just the method.

Why 2013 Matters

Daft Punk used live musicians to revisit disco and studio craft, Arctic Monkeys tightened rock around hip hop-influenced rhythms, Lorde made sparse pop feel intimate and Disclosure brought UK dance music to a wide audience.
