The colourful Japanese anime video for the single appropriately featured humanoids being processed on a conveyor belt and then turned into a humanoid band. This approach was such a draw for the duo that they continued even “After/Work is/Over” – but then, “Work is never over” in Daft Punk’s world. It was as if the pair were saying of sampling, “Take it/Reuse it/Do it/Forever,” proving, in the process, how an assembly line of beautiful fragments of the past could be spun into new gold.

This is topped off with some punchily edited, pitch-riding vocoder which, similar to other tracks on Discovery, is eventually twisted into a pseudo-guitar solo. The musical chassis of Harder Better Faster Stronger itself, though, is based on a sped-up sample of funky bass, synth and four-four ride cymbal from Edwin Birdsong’s 1979 Philadelphia International number Cola Bottle Baby (“Do it faster/Makes us stronger”, as the duo had it). This obsession with humans’ love/hate relationship with technology (not to mention with perfect exhortations to dance) was later further expanded upon on Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo’s more abrasive third studio set, 2005’s Human After All.

The pop-song-length Harder Better Faster Stronger has a theme of unstoppable technological progress and productivity – sort of a more explicit and pneumatic take on Around The World, the standout single from Daft Punk’s debut album, 1996’s Homework. Spinning fragments of the past into new gold
