Daft Punk's second album transformed the robotic coldness of their debut into something gloriously euphoric, mining disco and funk samples through a filter-house kaleidoscope that felt both nostalgic and alien. The duo's devotion to vintage synths and drum machines produced tracks like One More Time and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger that became blueprints for 21st-century pop.

The accompanying anime film Interstella 5555 cemented its mythology, whilst Kanye West's Stronger proved these French androids had cracked the code for eternal replay value.
