In 2009,Kraftwerkhave upgraded their Kling Klang masters with the latest studio technology and these magnificent recordings still sound like nothing else in the history of music.Kraftwerkare unique, pristine, profound and beautiful. Decades may pass, but their streamlined synthetic symphonies stand outside time, as fresh as tomorrow, transcendent and sublime.

Kraftwerkbeam themselves into the future here by writing about home computers, online dating and globalized electronic surveillance years before these phenomena truly came into existence. A journey into the bright hopes and dark fears of the booming microchip revolution,Computer Worldis 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’sfanfare for the silicon age still sounds ageless, timeless and throbbing with invention.
