1980's Versatile Repetition
Long before Daft Punk “got lucky” with Random Access Music, they were making song of the first world recognized and renowned electronic and house music. Around the World may seem repetitive, but it is supposed to be with that, it is meant to be played in clubs where they pound out music all night. But we see the variety and key talent that Daft Punk had in creating club anthems that can keep going and using the same bass line, melodies and drums in various ways to keep their listener entertained. The voices saying “around the world” is altered a lot, obviously, but this is more of a instrument instead of an actual vocalist and singer. The song moves a lot and every 20 or 30 seconds it transitions and plays with the sounds, echoing more or distorting them in order to add a great variation to the same sound. If you listen to a lot of modern house music, it feels as though the repeat button is stuck for five minutes on the same five second loop. But here with a gnarly bass line, bouncy lead synth, and a simple yet addicting drum part, the song never seems to get old through all seven minutes of it. Get to know the classic Daft Punk, for musical educational purposes and because they are awesome.
