Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke has praised Coldplay for the way the band reworked Kraftwerk's 'Computer Love' on one of their songs.

Colplay used the guitar riff from Kraftwerk's hit on their single 'Talk', which featured on their 2005 album 'X&Y'.

Speaking to XFM, Okereke said: “One really has to applaud Coldplay for making Kraftwerk sound like stadium rock. That’s one of my favourite achievements of theirs”.

As previously reported on Gigwise, Bloc Party will embark on a UK tour in support of their new album 'Intimacy' next year.
