I'll be honest... Other than being a treasure box for stems collectors, the Drumless edition of RAM is completely pointless.

Listie's 600+ words about Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition) or: (Listie didn't write all this for nuthin' and she ain't getting a RYM account)

It's kind of impossible to listen to Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition) without just knowing in the back of your head that this is a low-effort cash grab. As much as I honestly wanted to give this album a fair shake, I just know that someone up top figured they could squeeze a little extra out of Random Access Memories' anniversary by having someone go in and just mute the percussion track. I mean, I know there's a section of people out there who actively seek out and enjoy drumless versions of popular music, but was there really enough of them to justify this? Were people really clamoring for this? Was anyone back in 2013 listening to Random Access Memories and being like, "Man, this is fantastic and all, but I just can't stand having a backbeat lock in the groove"?

The best thing this edition does is really make you appreciate the drums on the original. Which, it's not like they needed to be appreciated any more, but it's remarkable how many tracks on this album are downgraded to just "fine" at best once you remove the drums. "Get Lucky", "Beyond", "Instant Crush"... Sure? They're OK? I guess? But would anyone regularly reach for these over the original? I don't think so; the change isn't really substantial enough.

The track that gets it the worst, I think, is "Lose Yourself To Dance". The drums and percussion are a huge reason why that track works so well. I mean, who the hell wanted this disco dance song to have its four-to-the-floor beat removed? What the hell's even the point of it, then? It just sounds so... Sparse.

(Well, actually, the track that gets it the worst worst is "Doin' It Right", because once you remove the drums from that it's literally just an acapella song. But that's kind of funny, I think, and, hey, if it can provide me some kind of entertainment... It doesn't stop it from being bad, but still. And shoutout, too, to "Giorgo By Moroder" losing its click track.)

Honestly, I don't think it got any better than the first single they released for this edition, "Beyond". It's ambient enough that it can work without the drums. If that had been the only track released drumless—and maybe "The Game Of Love" as well—sure, fine. Just an odd little experiment that doesn't mean much. But once you start trying to remove the drums from the groovier, dancier tracks, that's where everything falls apart.

I can't imagine Daft Punk themselves approving this. I mean, I know if I were them I wouldn't have signed off on this. But I guess they did, 'cuz here it is. I suppose they just heard something in it that I can't. And I wish I could, because as it stands, like I said above, this is just a nakedly lazy cash grab. If they really wanted to release another Random Access Memories album for its anniversary, I think a true remix album would've been a lot better. Let some other people come in and give these songs a fresh spin. I know they weren't entirely against remixes of these songs; they did do their own 10-minute remix of "Get Lucky" back in the day. So what would've been the harm in letting some other people give it a shot?

I certainly know the fans are gonna remix it. That's probably gonna be the best thing we get out of this release, since removing the drums makes each song a lot more conducive to a lot more than they were before. (And we might get some more drum covers, too, if that's more your thing.) But as it stands, as a listening experience on its own, I think everyone would be fine going drumlessless.

Fascinating how many people are bothered by the Drumless Edition of R.A.M.

#Random Access Memories #Daft Punk #my people. it's nowhere near so intense.#this isn't Thomma and Gee plotting away to make more money #this is a remix album that—whether you like it or not—does have artistic merit to it #I'm sure that if Thomma and Gee wanted money they'd do a tour or something #it could be the lowest-effort tour and you know they'd make millions #(FWIW: I'm in love with the piano-voix vibe of Drumless Within)#(and I definitely ordered the CD)#(and plan on ordering one (1) piece of limited-edition merch on my next paycheque)#whether you like the concept or not there is artistic merit to this album #as much as there is with any other sort of remix album

A (Weird) Look Into Drumless Albums: Daft Punk & DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ

2023: In celebration of the 10th anniversary since the release of Daft Punk's 2013 'Random Access Memories', the duo (or whoever manages them now they've broken up) emerged with - alongside an anniversary edition - perhaps one of the strangest release decisions in dance music... ever? : an entirely drumless version of their beloved album, nary a kick nor snare in sight.

now, I should mention that RAM is not my favourite daft punk album, but credit where credit is due, you can't deny get lucky and lose yourself to dance.

nonetheless this version of the album spans between the actually quite alright (in the case of The Game of Love); something frustratingly lacking - Giorgio by Moroder without drums totally misses the mark and is... 9 minutes long; and the secret third thing in lose yourself to dance that is sorta what this semi-structured ramble is about:

Lose Yourself To Dance (Drumless Edition) is... agonising...ly.. good??? - like... alarmingly so

one thing daft punk had always excelled at (in my eyes) is creating a sound that makes you BEG for some musical satisfaction - Crescendolls on discovery is the clearest example - and playing that for the entire song.

What Lose Yourself gains without drums is this overwhelming internal feeling that at any point the drums are going to finally kick in and give that satisfaction that the track is building up to. Im being serious, go listen to it, its 6 minutes of the tensest build up with absolutely zero release, its brilliant - I haven't seen anything else quite like it and I strangely love it. It totally peels back the idea of what dance music needs and is still so excellently danceable in its own way.

So, the reason I bring this up is because DJ Sabrina The Teenage DJ's 'Destiny (Drumless Edition)' does this for almost all of its entire, majestic 3 hours and 56 minute runtime. And of course this album was probably just a joke about Daft Punk's release, and a continued meme about how the artist dropped a 4 hour album fairly casually - but like Lose Yourself To Dance, its really surprisingly quite good.

now, before you rush into it (I know you're TOTALLY BEGGING to, and have already put aside 4 precious hours to dedicate to the album.) I feel that the feeling im talking about here only makes sense when you know a bit of DJ Sabrina's other stuff: its (usually) some absolutely excellent sampling work with a massive side chained 4 on the floor that slides in halfway through. It's simple, but executed brilliantly. Check out all 7 minutes of 'Next To Me', and you'll get the vibe.

I'm not saying this version is better than the original... absolutely not, and same goes for Lose Yourself To Dance. But there really is something here when it stretches out for 4 hours. I think I may be one of the very few people who have actually sat through a large chunk of the album, but that feeling of anticipation turns from unease into a trancelike... calm?

Destiny Drumless is... like... incredible study music, especially with Sabrina's heavily layered style, the samples begin to wash over you without any pause (the album has basically zero dead air), and it becomes wonderfully tranquil to just... sit... and absorb what you can of the glossy synths and gentle pads as they pass you by.

While RAM Drumless is, really not great save for a few tracks and DJ Sabrina is fairly underground... I do sincerely hope that the joke about it catches on, because drumless dance is... utterly bizarre, but can really very much work with the right artist, and that weird feeling you get while listening is something im not sure exists anywhere else in music right now.

Thanks for tagging me @excelsior9173 <3

6 Albums I've Been Into Lately:

Sundowning - Sleep Token: just gonna... get this 'out of the way' haha, of course I am into a sleep token album, cause I'm ALWAYS into sleep token. Putting Sundowning on the list cause I go through 'phases' of which album is my favorite.

Something to Give Eachother - Troy Sivan: Every time Troye Puts something know out I am so hesitant at first. But this guy has no skips for me. (Putting This album on the list is like a slap though haha. It's like 'Metal, Rock, some Jazz, and then boom pop music' lmao).

Mount Matsu - YinYin: I just discovered this band yesterday, but I am really vibing with a lot of their stuff.

Mirage - Glass Beams: this EP and the above album are very similar vibes wise. idk, I really like this genre (if i can find the name of it besides jazz), it's great to both read to, vibe to, draw to. it's good. (also they are masked haha).

Random Access Memories (Drumless Edition) - Daft Punk: what can I say, I love daft punk. At first I was weirded out about the lack of drums (I love drums), but I genuinely like a lot of these versions.

From the Brink - 1551: An Army Falls, Enemy and Impostor are SUCH good songs. (And I'm not just saying this cause it's my favorite video game streams album, and some of the songs are video game themed lmao).

@kyloreno-911 @absentviolet @ Anyone who wants to do this!! <3 (as always if I tagged you and you don't want to do it, feel free to ignore me! <3 no hard feelings!)

#friend exie!!#tag game #I sleepy #eepy even.#exie if your reading this I think you'd like 1551. Jeremy loves a lot of bands that I think you like and his music reflects that #(breaking benjamin. Nickleback. Linkin Park (actually idk if you like LP I just figured haha))#(also i freaking.... love Breaking Benjamin.... WAIT IDK IF YOU LIKE BREAKING BENJAMIN??? I just...... ok I KNOW you like Nickleback haha #(same btw))
