World-stage pop bands have been using an orchestra to add some pizzaz to their performances since The Beatles, but this is on a whole new level. The Rundfunk-Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld (or Radio Dance Orchestra of Ehrenfeld) have smashed out possibly the greatest Harder Better Faster Stronger cover of all time (yeah, even better than that pair of hands).
Guitars, string and brass sections, twin drummers and one machine of an orchestral leader on the keys all conspire to create this perfect little storm. Special thanks to a very handily utilised Rocktron Talk Box for those Daft Punk vocal effects.
Behold as a 15-strong orchestra rips through Daft Punk’s 2001 mega-hit Harder Better Faster Stronger like you’ve never seen it before.
Daft Punk covers are sadly not too common, their dance music-inclined fans being far more likely to push out a remix from their huge repertoire.
This just makes me want it more. Just fucking look at keyboard dude, making a dumb Talk Box pipe look cool somehow. I think he made a deal with the devil at some point, no normal human should be able to play/sing along to that breakdown.
Check out the clip, as well as the original track, below.
