Only available in the U.S. as part of their remastered box set and not sold separately! Digitally remastered edition of the German Electronic band's 1981 album. Kraftwerk beam themselves into the future by writing about home computers, online dating and globalised electronic surveillance years before these phenomena truly come into being. A journey into the bright hopes and dark fears of the booming microchip revolution, Computer World is a serenely beautiful and almost seamless collage of sensual melodies and liquid beatscapes. Tracks like 'Numbers' and 'Pocket Calculator', with their weightless bleeps and elastic beats, predict the silky rhythms of Chicago House and inspire a generation of Detroit Techno artists. Kraftwerk's fanfare for the silicon age still sounds ageless, timeless and throbbing with invention. Mute. 2009.80年代初頭のピコピコサウンドでもリマスターで音が良くなるんだなというところ。
テクノポップを代表するアルバムではあるが、今聴くと当時ほどのインパクトは個人的には感じなかった。でも記念碑的なアルバムには違いない。
★★★
