Soundhog – Spacelab (Kraftwerk Cover)

Always up for a bit of something from the wonderful Soundhog. A Kraftwerk cover to see me off to bed sounds just fine. Free download.

Ben explains “Ok, so a fairly straight Kraftwerk cover isn’t the most interesting thing to do in 2013, I agree. However there is a good reason for it. Some friends of mine up in Scotland put on a night where people were playing ‘werk tracks totally live, which was set up as a response to a similar event in Cardiff, which was set up as a ‘consolation’ to the 99.99999% of fans who didn’t get tickets for the concerts at the Tate Modern earlier in 2013. Still with me? I’d hoped to be able to attend and play something, but it didn’t happen. Therefore I decided to record a cover version to play out over the P.A. system instead. Perhaps as people were leaving… This is that cover version.” 

And, it’s rather good, with Dr Who-style synths and various bits of buzzing in the right place. Go download.

And, if you liked that, do try out:
