"Music Sounds Better with You" is the highly acclaimed 1998 single by the shortlived house band Stardust. The vocals for the song were provided by Benjamin Diamond. The song uses a sample of Chaka Khan's "Fate".
It is considered by many to exemplify (even epitomize) the genre of house music.
This is the only single released by the band. Shortly after releasing the single, all three members, Alan Braxe, Benjamin Diamond, and Thomas Bangalter (one half of Daft Punk), went on to pursue other goals.
Also, it should be noted that the band appears in costumes in the music video. The costumes could be considered a step before Daft Punk wore their famous robot costumes.

[edit] Music Video
Directed by the acclaimed Michel Gondry, the song's video depicts the story of a boy building a model airplane over several days. As he works, he watches a "Top 5" video countdown on TV, on which Stardust move up one spot a day past other fictional artists. When the boy has completed the plane, he takes it to a field and throws it in the air, only to watch it become stranded on top of a cloud; coincidentally, the very cloud upon which Stardust were performing in their Top 5 video. They throw it back to the boy with a wave; he recovers it and runs off.
