My favourite quote from the video that reveals a tiny bit of how​​​ Random Access Memories ​​will sound, Moroder said "they [Daft Punk] had to do something which is different, still dance, still electronic, but give that human touch back".

I'm really looking forward to what Daft Punk has in store for us on May 21st. ​
