Yet arguably few of them do so with a presence as strong or as innovative as London duo Disclosure. It’s not as if there aren’t plenty of other beat-savvy production teams worldwide, making their own unique club- and art-house friendly creations, 12 inches at a time. And that’s fine-when you have Giorgio Moroder and Nile Rodgers in the studio to make it happen, you don’t very well tell them not to do what they do best. Thomas Bangaltier and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo didn’t like the direction that contemporary producers were taking dance music, so they took a trip back to the ‘70s. Not that the album itself is bad-it’s grown on me a little, anyway-but it’s also not very electronic. If old-schoolers, house faithful and beat fanatics were holding out hope for Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories to be this year’s big, great electro album, they most likely set themselves up for disappointment.
