  Elektrofest 2002

...a review by Jonny EOL (eraseronline.com)

Having not even slept since returning from the previous night's Slimelight, it was a tired and weary EOL who found his way into the Mean Fiddler for Elektrofest. The bands were going to have to be pretty good to keep my attention this year, as I wasn't it a fit state to keep going under my own steam. Thankfully, a selection of cheap CD stalls renewed my enthusiasm for the day in general, and when I heard the first band spring into life, I was keen to get down to the stage and see what they had to offer.

The band in question was Kinetik. The number of Kraftwerk T-shirts in the crowd gave a pretty good clue as to what this act had to offer. They weren't a copy of the Dusseldorfers by any means, but instead used similar concepts to make their own sound. A vast bank of electronic gadgetry and three hard-working uber-geeky musicians frantically manipulating their machines. Some simple but effective CGI in the background completed their stage show. Have to say, Kinetik did nothing but impress me from start to finish, ultra-catchy songs like 'ISDN' and 'Go Elements Go' sticking in my head long after the show was done. Pity I'd already invested my supply of cash on the discount CD stalls, as I'd have liked to picked up an album or two. (8/10)
