Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories Drumless Edition' is the latest instalment of celebrations surrounding the three-time Grammy Award winning album's 10th anniversary. Responses to the rollout of another edition of RAM have been mixed, with some fans left unimpressed and remarking that they would prefer new material:

The duo have also rolled out two short interview series: 'Memory Tapes' and 'The Collaborators'. Both series feature insights from those who worked with the French duo on the album, with Julian Casablancas, Chilly Gonzales, Panda Bear, DJ Falcon and Todd Edwards all making an appearance so far.

On top of 'Memory Tapes', demos from the album that didn't make the final cut are being released on a special 10th anniversary edition. The band, affectionately labelled "the Robots", previewed one of the unreleased tracks, 'Infinity Edition feat. Julian Casablancas + The Voidz', at a high fidelity listening experience at the Pompidou.
