Daft Punk have premiered the opening moments of new track 'Give Life Back To Music' in a new video promoting Random Access Memories. See below.
The video in question is to promote the vinyl release of the French duo's new album, and sees Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De-Homem Christo opening a package containing their upcoming release, which hits shelves on 20 May 2013. The clip sees the duo remove the vinyl, displaying it to the camera - before beginning to play the album on a record player. The clip of 'Give Life Back To Music' is heard at the end of the video.
The music heard is the opening bars of the first track on the album, Nile Rogers collaboration, 'Give Life Back To Music', and fits perfectly with the flawless disco sounds heard on No.1 single 'Get Lucky' and previously-teased track 'Lose Yourself To Dance'.
Daft Punk will launch the album in London tonight (13 May, 2013) with a special, invite-only party on the 72nd floor of The Shard.

Despite overwhelming positivity surround the album's release, some fans have started to vent their frustration at lack of more music from the duo, with just a week left until the album's official release date.
One YouTube commenter calls for Daft Punk to stop 'trolling' fans, while other suggest an underwhelming album due to the sheer amount of teasers and trailers.
"How much marketing can you seriously do?! There is no other option than for this album to be a piece of sh*t. No sane company/person would market this much otherwise," added another.
Daft Punk will stream Random Access Memories on iTunes ahead of its release - so fans find out very soon if it was worth the wait. Alternatively, read our track by track review and find out what we thought of the album.
