Computer World

Kraftwerk
Released 1981Electronic
Start herePicked by a lifelong record collector

A prescient meditation on data, machines and digital life, tighter and funkier than ever. Decades ahead of its time. Essential Kraftwerk. Released in 1981, it's one of Kraftwerk's later high points.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
