KNOW YOUR KRAFTWERK: A SPOTTER'S GUIDE TO TEUTONIC ELECTRO-POP

Kraftwerk! They're the German band that's sweeping the nation!

But did you know there are a number of fake Kraftwerks doing the rounds? DO NOT BE TAKEN IN BY THESE CHARLATANS*.

Spotter's Notes: Can't hold a tune, and there's only three of them

Spotter's Notes: Although German and like the real thing haven't changed for decades, too many of them, and some members are even raising a smile AND WILL HAVE TO BE SHOT

Spotter's Notes: American Kraftwerk. They're good, perhaps too good.

Spotter's Notes: Cold War Kraftwerk. They had electronic synthesisers from a factory in Minsk. Unfortunately, the black keys came from a separate factory in Leningrad, who were three years behind quota

Spotter's Notes: North Korea getting it horribly wrong as usual. ROY ORBISON IS NOT IN KRAFTWERK

Let's hear it for Kraftwerk, everybody! Klik-wirr-wirr-wirr-noodle-autobahn.

*The Charlatans being another band altogether. Do not be taken in by these baggy Manc Charlatans either.
