Submitted by dr™ on January 4, 2007 - 12:02am.Now that I'm anticipating next month's Kraftwerk tribute album, it got me thinking about Kraftwerk covers of the past. One of my favorites, and definitely one of the more interesting takes on the music of the Original Man-Machines was done by Japanese sludgemonsters, Zeni Geva. This interpratation of Sex Object may make you feel like you're watching some twisted Takashi Miike film. Released on a 1998 Toshiba Japan compilation called Musique Non Stop, it manages to be both funky and apocalyptic [if that is indeed possible]. When I mentioned this track to my Oak-town contact, he pointed me to the MySpace page of Death Disco Citizens G/L/A/S/S/C/A/N/D/Y where they've posted a new demo - that classic ode to microchip fornication, Computer Love. The thought of Ida No performing this song is soooo much more preferable than that "inadvertant" rip-off by those Coldplay wankers.
On that note, I think you should share some love with your computer today.
