As I mentioned on the other thread, Trouble Funk did "Trouble Funk Express" which is basically just "Trans Europe Express".

24. There was a Mortiis side project called Fata Morgana which was blatantly a Kraftwerk cover band. "Space Race" 7" has the goods.
25. Also, I liked the Austrian band Komputer.

Whoever was talking upthread about a Cleopatra album - I have a Japanese tribute album I got off slsk... as I recall it's no-one you've ever heard of doing less obvious Kraftwerk songs.

Did they do this as well as "Radioactivity"? Because that's the one I know (and had forgotten about until now).

^^^ I am listening to this now. It's really good!! I've heard Kraftwerk covered in every possible style it seems but I think the steel drums really emphasize how melodic their music is. It's super fun, especially "Tour de France"

here it is along with "Europe Endless", they both rule

also dig that they pull out some deeper cuts like "Tanzmusik" and "Kometenmelodie 2"

would love to hear a guitar based cover of Kometenmelodie 2 . Have dreamed of Savage Republic or someone similar doing that since i got Exceller 8 in the late 80s.

Japanese surf band The Routes released an all-Kraftwerk covers album in 2022 and unlike many of these kinds of tribute albums, the covers are thought through and the band seems to be thinking "fuck yeah, Kraftwerk!" the whole time.
