It now appears that Ian Curtis stole his moves from Kraftwerk, who would have thought it.

According to his wife, Curtis was a kraftwerk fan

Oh I know he liked them, I just didn't realise that they danced like him too!

I thought I was a seasoned Kraftwerk youtube pro, but I haven't seen those! The current Kraftwerk live show is cool and all, but I wish they'd loosen up and move like they used to.
― (Z S) (Z S), Friday, 19 December 2008 17:34 (fifteen years ago) link
That would be terrible.
I wish I could go back to 1981 or before and see them live too. But moving like that today? NOOOO.
I appreciate the investment banker approach they have now.

They're opening for Radiohead in Latin America next year.

Really? That is going to be totally bonkers!
Sidenote: what a headfuck to be the headline act over KRAFTWERK. If there's any band I like more than Kraftwerk, it's probably Radiohead, but still.

I check google about once every other month for live kraftwerk shows. they might be investment bankers on stage now, playing occasional melodies & tinkering with filters over a 95% inevitable sequencer but up through the early 80's they were one of the best live bands on the planet, and even when I saw them in '98 they were religious

Not to provoke or anything, but truly (and I say this with genuine Kraftwerk fanboy disappointment) doing this would have been very, very stupid at the Mexico shows. :(
The music was fantastic, as usual, and the setlists were changed up a bit from the first to the second night, but it could have really been just been the mannequins standing there with programmed iPods, for all I care, and the show would have been just as "exciting."
I never expected them to come across as so weirdly pointless and minor to experience in a live setting.
