Hmm. I found Kraftwelt to be just a bit too derivative and blatantly
capitalizing on Kraftwerk's name (and style). It's kind of cheezy (as is
the Mute label "Komputer" group. If you're looking for a Kraftwerk type
sound, but updated, and not cheezy, check out the stuff on Raster Music
(Produkt, Comet, etc.). There's a more experimental side label of theirs
called "Noto" also.
