GameSpy: What is it about Kraftwerk's music that makes it so perfect for music made on video game machines?
Johan Kotlinski of Role Model: For a start, their music is really based on good songs. Since their music is also made with analog synthesizers, the transition is pretty straightforward.
Seth Sternberger of 8-Bit Weapon: The music of Kraftwerk is all about the combination and/or synergy between man and machine. The same goes for video games, in a way. The video game experience is only achieved when both elements - man and machine - work together. So it's a perfect match to have micromusic peeps covering Kraftwerk songs.
GameSpy: What other bands do you think would be perfect for a tribute album like this?
Ignacio Garcia of Neotericz: Abba, Kool & The Gang, KC & The Sunshine Band...
Seth Sternberger of 8-Bit Weapon: DEVO, Depeche Mode, Telex, Led Zeppelin...
Johan Kotlinski of Role Model: Some kind of Italo disco cover collection.
Jeremy Kolosine of Receptors: I'm actually tossing around the idea of a Residents Commercial Album remake on Game Boys... it's about 30 or 40 tracks that are each exactly one minute long. It would go great on Game Boys, I think, though I have some other ideas I'm brewing, too.
GameSpy: What game has your favorite music?
Ignacio Garcia of Neotericz: Pac-Man, Suicide Express, Chordian, Space Harrier...
Johan Kotlinski of Role Model: Power Drift, an arcade racing game.
Seth Sternberger of 8-Bit Weapon: Adventure Construction Set for C64.
Jeremy Kolosine of Receptors: I love the theme to Metroid, and some of the Castlevania music.
GameSpy: Finally, what is your favorite game? To play, not to listen to?
Seth Sternberger of 8-Bit Weapon: Wasteland for any computer.
Ignacio Garcia of Neotericz: Pac-Man, Space Harrier, Double Dragon in the arcade, and Alien 3 on Sega Genesis.
Johan Kotlinski of Role Model: Right now, probably Rhythm Tengoku for Game Boy Advance, and Shadow Of The Colossus for PS2.
Jeremy Kolosine of Receptors: All the Metroid games, the Soul Reaver and the Blood Omen games and Turok, the old ones.
