Contact - Daft Punk ft. DJ Falcon.
A fucking incredible closer to a fucking incredible album - Random Access Memories, as a whole, is a strange and perplexing listen at first, but it grows on me the more I listen and get used to it. ‘Contact’, though, grabbed me from the first listen. It sounds a little like ‘Aerodynamic’, and it has some of the most insane drums I’ve ever heard leading up to a thrilling climax. With the astronaut sample thrown in at the beginning, it’s the perfect soundtrack for a rocket taking off into outer space, and the perfect closer for a spectacular album.
