... ?Guardian Unlimited | Arts Friday Review | Desperately seeking Kraftwerk
The crowd's appearance may be odd, but it's nothing compared to their conversation. Queuing for a pint, I overhear two men enthusiastically discussing computerised hi-hat patterns. 'It's sort of a tsk-ch-ch-tsk,' suggests one. 'No,' counters his friend, 'it's more ch-ch-ch-tsk.' Ask people why they are here, and they have a tendency to fix you with a gaze somewhere between pity and total incomprehension: 'It's Kraftwerk, innit?' Well, not quite.
