My name is Giovanni Giorgio...but everybody calls me Giorgio

This song has everything you could want out of an influential electronic track. From the awesome interview with the godfather of disco, to the jazzy keys solo about 4 minutes in, to the heavy climax beginning with the orchestral sounds back into the main riff with a sick drum backing. Daft Punk is blowing up the charts with Get Lucky, but of all of the tracks from Random Access Memories, this one is the masterpiece. It has an incredible range of dynamic and emotion, with the vibe of the piece staying the same through the consistency of the melody, but the chill background music during the interview invokes a different attitude than the burst of energy it closes with. This work really engages the listener, which is not something most electronic music accomplishes.
