Balanescu Quartet: Computer Love

There are far too many excellent technology love songs from Kraftwerk to choose from, so here's a rather different take on one of the classics. Computer Love has the simple wistful lyricism that Kraftwerk tied so effectively to throbbing machinery, a lyricism that the Balanescu Quartet emphasise with flowing strings and a sense of space.We can forgive it the ignominy of having its riff stolen - sorry, used with permission - by Coldplay.
