The two-man French group, Daft Punk, is on top of the American record charts this week with the album, "Random Access Memories." The sound is similar to disco music of the 1970s and 80s.
Daft Punk is Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. The two have been playing under the name Daft Punk for 20 years. But "Random Access Memories" is only their fourth album.
The record is number one on Billboard magazine's Top 200 Albums chart. It has already sold about 500,000 copies in the United States.
"Random Access Memories" probably could have reached a similar success if it had been released 30 years ago. Many songs on the album have that disco sound, like this one: "Give Life Back to Music."
Daft Punk invited several musicians to perform on their latest record. One of the most surprising additions was Paul Williams. The 72-year-old singer-songwriter had many hit singles in the 1970s. He also created very popular songs for movies.
Paul Williams helped write two songs for "Random Access Memories" - "Beyond" and "Touch," on which he also sings.
The artist and record producer Pharrell Williams also performs on the album in the hit single, "Get Lucky." Some critics say radio listeners will be hearing that song all summer long.法国双人乐队“蠢朋克”凭借专辑《超时空内存》在本周的美国唱片排行榜上稳夺榜首。该专辑的音乐风格与上世纪七八十年代的迪斯科音乐相似。
蠢朋克由盖马努尔·霍曼克里斯托和托马斯·本高特组成。这两个人以“蠢朋克”为名演出已有20年了，但《超时空内存》只是他们的第四张专辑。
该专辑在《公告牌》杂志的“二百强专辑榜”中名列第一，在美国已售出将近50万张。
如果《超时空内存》在三十年前发行，说不定也能取得这样的成功。专辑里的很多歌都有迪斯科的风格，例如这首：《把生活还给音乐》。
蠢朋克乐队邀请了几位音乐家在其最新专辑中演出。其中一位让人意想不到的音乐家便是保罗·威廉姆斯。这位72岁的唱作人在二十世纪七十年代有许多热门单曲，亦为电影创作了一些非常流行的歌曲。
保罗·威廉姆斯为《超时空内存》写了两首歌——《远方》和《触摸》，并参与演唱。
歌手兼唱片制作人菲瑞·威廉姆斯也在这张专辑的热门曲目《幸运降临》中献声。一些评论家称广播听众在整个夏天都会听到那首歌。
