what you Think about Kraftwelt and Komputer?

Kraftwelt is a very nice tribute band, and their presence is a pleasing thing to find, but you'll be disappointed if you're expecting them to sound like remixed Kraftwerk. Kraftwelt has its own electronic music style, which perhaps is an even bigger tribute than simply imitating. Komputer is the opposite. They sound a lot like Kraftwerk, but with slightly cheesier modern techno sounds, and they have refused to acknowledge that they're influenced by Kraftwerk. A couple of their earlier songs are direct KW ripoffs - notably "Oh, Synthesizer" which is just a permutation of Kraftwerk's "Neon Lights". -- /* Soleil */
