Balenascu Quartet (I probably spelt that wrong, but it's something like
that). Released an album on Mute about 5 years back with string quartet
versions of several Kraftwerk tunes along with another couple of covers
(one of Talking Heads, I think) and a couple of originals. Quite good
stuff - I should dig it out and listen it it again, it's been a while.
