I think Daft Punk have gone full circle, but I can't decide if it was intentional or not.

They started by sampling, chopping, and looping analog funk that came out in the 1960's and 70's. It was kind of robotic. And they kinda acknowledged this with an album that was less sample-based, "Human After All".

Now, they have created an almost entirely analog-based funk album, "RAM" (still a nod to the human/robot dichotomy). Did they create "RAM" with the hope or intention of having every DAW n00b producer sample the shit out of it? I dunno, but I hope so.
