There has been a big Kraftwerk revival this year, with the Tate Modern shows and I see they are playing Latitude as well. I can't claim to be an avid follower, although I obviously respect their huge influence on the development of electronic music and beyond. Apart from the top 40 hits in the 80s like The Model and Tour De France, the first time I was blown away was when I heard Trans Europe Express sampled by Afrika Bambaata on Planet Rock - an electro classic. In the attached link to the video, Afrika and his Soul Sonic Force, are coming across like Sun Ra meets the Village People. The video also captures the times with some fantastic breakdancing footage...
