>> I was listening to NPR tonight and on one of their interludes they were >> playing some kind of string quartet piece that sounded very familiar. I >> later realized that the melody was the same as one one of the tracks off >> of Kraftwerk's 'The Mix' - "The Robots" I believe. Anyone know what >> this was? >wasn't this the brodsky quartet? or was it bang on a can? No, it is the Balanescu Quartet. The track can be found on the "Possessed" album on Mute Records. The album contains all Kraftwerk covers. Alexander Balanescu also did some nice work on the last two Spiritualized albums. Jason Pierce, a Kraftwerk fan, enlisted his help after hearing "Possessed."
