…you got some splainin’ to do!
A music blog:
I love the soundtrack from the 2013 movie Oblivion by M83, Anthony Gonzalez, and Joseph Trapanese. Its haunting unrelenting theme threads delicately, occasionally boldly radiating, throughout. It’s an album I frequently use as a go to for train/bus travel chillax or just turning off the world for an hour (awesome house chores background too!). But…
…today I was running through an old Daft Punk playlist and my ears raised up like a trained attack dog during the song Motherboard off of their 2013 album Random Access Memories.
Both came out in 2013, both groups were touring and crowd testing out new stuff at that same time so both could’ve had their engineering or production crews at each other’s events sampling new stuff. So… who ripped who?
Like I said I love the theme resonating throughout Oblivion, after all it is a blockbuster movie soundtrack, but I also remember how I loved, and still do, allowing myself to drift off upon that melody’s crescendo of passion by Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. And it goes without saying that album was no slouch either for Daft Punk earning 2014’s Album of the Year with Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers getting lucky and garnering 2014’s Record of the Year with “Get Lucky” off of side one. So it’s truly a musical conundrum.
Here are the Spotify links for both the Oblivion album and Daft Punk’s song Motherboard. You decide 🎧🎼🤔
