While it's possible to ruin it if you try, any decent musician who doesn't get in the way with his or her interpretation should be able to play an engaging version of Kraftwerk's songs. And lest we forget, Neil Young fell under the KW spell too: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000005RVK/qid=1037634267/sr=1-44/ref=sr_1_44/102-7135578-1545701?v=glance&s=music On Mon, 18 Nov 2002, PuzzleBox wrote: > No one Quite covers Kraftwerk Like Keith Tucker when performing as optic > nerve or the Auxmen......period > > Anyone ever seen tucker perform Its more fun To compute , Man machine with > a funked up mix of a barry white tune im gomma love you.
