After my dad passed last year, I've been going through his old stuff and found the vinyl of this album. I always knew he had good taste in music, but never knew it was this good. Even found The Man Machine vinyl as well

@thecrapbitgamer

My sincerest condolences first off...but absolutely he had great taste! Some of the most impactful music you could come across! It's really a crime how little is known still about how influential Kraftwerk has been for a lot of artist, even aside from the amazing and controversial connection to both Soul Sonic Force and less controversial connection to Coldplay! I mean even today, I listen a lot to Vaporwave music and I can see so much of their influence in that as well! Great finds too, I treasure all of my Kraftwerk original vinyls, they will always be some of my greatest pieces in my vinyl collection, so I hope you covet them as much as I do! Be safe and be well my friend!

@martinvanderlugt1456

your dad is the best

@tonyquek1

your dad has the same taste as mine 🥰

@Matthew1981

my father prefered getting wasted and smashing his entire record collection before i was born but to each their own. PS one of my best value village finds was Computer World on cassette about 6 years ago.

@aubreylear

my dad just died last week. I don't think he was aware of kraftwerk, but he definitely got me started on the road to discovering them

Blew my mind when I heard this for the first time back in 1981. it was a brand new sound and it was very exciting. Couldn't stop playing it. Definitely the best Kraftwerk album and perhaps one of the best electronic albums of all time.

@Alex-jb5tb

I could listen to Computerwelt for hours. Thank you, danke, from Düsseldorf, the home of Kraftwerk.

@joezava8257

Gracias al EDM Concreto (E. Munich) de Giorgio Moroder (HI-NRG, Synthpop, Electro, Italo y Electro Funk) que estás escuchando el Computer Word.

Este sonido no se forja ni nace del Progressive Rock Alemán & Krautrock Düsseldorf de los muchachos de Conny Plank (Kraftwerk)

@ejon4
