My first job after college was in Kuwait and I recall buying this cassette that year.
Kraftwerk was composed of some German guys, drum sets, synthesizers, and tape decks. Had the term techno-pop been coined yet? They'd been creating music throughout the 1970's; however, this album was born at a special point in time. A confluence of technology was starting to enable the dawn of a new
information age.
Remember, this music was released the
same year that the IBM PC rolled out. Just as in
Windows XP today, you were not able to set
those system clocks prior to 1980!
