As a counter point to this post, I must say I love all these Kraftwerk
Albums (and all the others) but I see nothing wrong with fresh new ideas
and music, even on the same vein. I love all "Elecktroids" releases.
Yet another release very similar is the Kraftwelt singles. It's 13
different mixes of one song, making it a budget priced single ($7.99),
but all the mixes are so dissimilar that it's really an LP.
Contributors to this project include Uberzone, Len Del Rio, Torben
Schmidt, Claus Larsen and 8 others. All tracks are electro in nature,
Kraftwerk in spirit. Another must have!
I really don't see either of these two projects as "pale plagiarism", I
see them as tributes to the brilliance of Kraftwerk.
Their still as fresh today as back in the day.
have a nice sun...day,

ps: What about Kraftwerk "the mixes". I had a friend who's first
introduction to Kraftwerk was this album...then later upon hearing all
the original tracks, he thought the originals were cheesy...Technology!
