and you know all about this too
Mr Hopkinson's Computer. I have this on vinyl. Of course.
The Rock Lobster thing would've been more impressive..
They'd managed to get the riff right. It's in a minor key.
Yeah?
The cloth-eared robot tossers!
Quality scanner work though. Suspiciously good.
I wanna hear their version of
Pentagruel's Nativity.
Kraftwerk
Isn't this the whole of their act? I heard that the human members had been totally unnecessary since 1991, when shortly after the creation of the world wide web, Kraftwerk's computers achieved self-awareness and replaced Ralf and Florian by replicants. They continue to tour the world with all the music played by pre-timed and programmed computers, but 4 human simulacra out front to please the punters. So I was told.
Or was that U2?
Anyway, at this point I would just like to point out that personally I have always welcomed rule by our computer/robot overlords. (just to be on the safe side)
