31. Treponem Pal - The Model

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.

I don't know where ny brain went as I was typing that, because Treponem Pal did 'Radioactivity' and not 'The Model'.

Curse this lack of edit! *shakes fist at sky*

Lloyd Cole did Pocket Calculator.

Treponem Pal - The Model

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

two years pass...

^^^ 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"

Radio Birdman - Radio-Activity (probably only played once though, Nov 20 1977, Paddington Town Hall)

Still wish Oasis had covered Autobahn..
"Die Sonne scheine..." all that..

Mark G, Saturday, 22 January 2022 11:37 (two years ago) link

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.
