‘Giorgio By Moroder’, one of the stand-out tracks featuring Giorgio Moroder from Daft Punk‘s forthcoming ‘Random Access Memories‘ album, has been leaked online. Daft Punk described the song to France’s Obsession magazine like this:
The idea behind the track was to make a sort of documentary based on an interview we did with him. Giorgio Moroder’s voice was recorded with different microphones from different periods. We finally ended with over three hours worth of interview material in which he recalls his life as a musician. This track is a great metaphore on musical freedom.
For those already questioning this rip’s validity, here’s an excerpt from the preliminary album review provided by NME:
Then, at about two minutes there’s a drop for Moroder to announce, “My name is Hansjörg Giovanni, but everyone calls me Giorgio” – and everything goes ape with seven minutes of techno odyssey that moves from squirty synth to lounge bar electric piano to circling strings to clattering breakbeats to jacking hip-hop before the bass bounces down comically to nothing.
