There’s a beautiful article on addtowantlist.com. Dennis lists The 10 best cover songs of September 2024 and one of these is Caleb Fraid’s version of a Kraftwerk classic.
“Almost Halloween Time Records, an independent record label based in Italy that you see on our blog with some regularity, has brought together nineteen of their artists on the compilation AHTung! (subtitle: Eine Sammlung von Sauerkraut). The handmade cover art is a nod to Neu!‘s influential eponymous album from 1972, musically it concerns Krautrock in the broadest sense of the genre. Houston-based DIY artist Caleb Fraid unleashed his lo-fi hometaping techniques on Kraftwerk’s 1974 masterpiece (one of three covers here)—the result couldn’t be further from the electronic original, but it’s quite intriguing, as are the rest of the songs on this collection.”
