    Like, I LOVE Daft Punk, but…why? Is anyone looking for this? I appreciate some of the BTS stuff they have out out recently for RAM, but I just don’t understand this at all. This, for me, just kind of tarnishes their legacy to me with all the commercialization.

    Maybe there are fans out there who think differently. I hope they enjoy RAM without percussion

      So the original intent of the album can be realized - so it can more easily be sampled into French house tracks made by the next generation.

      Some songs like Within I can at least somewhat understand, the percussive backing is pretty mild. But imagine listening to Giorgio without that drum solo.

      The rumor I’ve heard is they had a three-record contract with Columbia and the original RAM was only one album under Columbia. Nearly everything else before that was released under Warner or Virgin. They did a 10th anniversary of RAM about 6 months ago which counts as a second. Drumless counts as a third, then.
