Computer World

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!
