This is astonishingly good...
Yeah - a mate of mine saw them and to this day he still doesn't know whether it was actually them - Florian et al. As you say - that was their shtick. Bottom line? - no Kraftwerk, no modern dance music. Astonishingly influential. - I.how 'live' can a performance be, when they are 4 blokes standing as still as possible pressing buttons on keyboards and pretending to be robots?!
Had to listen to them after watching synth britannia last night, I have it on the pc but I ''borrowed" the vinyl album about 10 years ago from a friend. He was not keen on it so a win for me.Nice one Jimmy. I have that on vinyl. Love a bit of Kraftwerk. Saw them 'live' at Oxford New Theatre a few years back. Great.
The scare quotes are only because, well, how 'live' can a performance be, when they are 4 blokes standing as still as possible pressing buttons on keyboards and pretending to be robots?! The opposite of what makes a live gig live, zero interaction, but that's the craic with them isn't it, would be weird if they were all jumping about and shouting "Hello Oxford!" Still, was a cracking night.
