The mysterious French duo Daft Punk have never revealed their true identity, wearing an ever-changing selection of masks to cover their real faces in interviews and concerts. The media-shy duo have ... become an absolute phenomenon on the 90’s music scene. Daft Punk have not only put French techno on the map but convinced music fans around the world that the leading Anglo-Saxon groups in this domain now have a serious rival.

Daft Punk began every show on their 2007 tour with a computerized mantra: “Robot. Human. Robot. Human.” Part of the immense fun of those concerts was the gleeful way they collapsed those terms. Not only is their whole set scripted, down to every infallible segue, but they don’t even need to show up — two well-trained bichons could come onstage in Daft Punk’s sleek, Asimov-paperback helmets and press play. So it’s live music … or not.

The animated music video for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" was produced by Daft Punk and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, under the supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. It features the four characters shown on the single cover in a vast electronic facility. The victims are transformed by various machines to resemble humans. The video was first released as an individual episode in promotion for the single release. It later appeared as a scene in the feature film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.

It's not that Daft Punk's music is bad, it just isn't. Which was maybe the idea. Vocoders, filters, samplers and drum machines sound more and more like people and the people more like machines. The overlap is a bit relentless. Just think - French samplers are suddenly singing in unaccented English. How has this come to be?
