Kraftwerk & Coldplay ???

I know that Kraftwerk has been sampled for years by hip hop artists and rightfully so, they are great. I didn't know that rock was getting into the game, just listen to Kraftwerk's "Computer Love and then Coldplay's "Talk"...sound familiar?

There is a good mashup of "Talk" and "Computer Love" I've heard before.

Chris Martin admitted sampling the riff a year ago.

Chris Martin is a Kraftwerk fan and song was written around the riff.
Martin got permission and has given writing credit to Kraftwerk for Talk.
