Not a Joke – Sony To Release Drumless Version of Daft Punk ‘Random Access Memories’

More proof that the music business is descending into utter ridiculousness comes news that there is a drumless version of the Daft Punk classic ‘Random Access Memories’ on the way.

In what appears to be the result of some music exec getting too high on life on what appears to be the silliest project to ever get approved, Sony has announced that the drumless edition of ‘Random Access Memories’ is really coming out in November 2023.

Here is the sell:

Memories 10th Anniversary Edition earlier this year, this new iteration of the GRAMMY-award winning Album of the Year strips away all drum and percussive elements from the album.

Doing so brings out a timeless quality to the album, giving listeners the ability to dive deeper into the layers of each track.
