KOMPUTER The World of Tomorrow

A person or group that gives us little clue to their identity, and completely rips off or mocks the music of German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk. It's dernitely of English origin, the interplay of the melodies is just slightly overstated and it's high kitch value give it away. The Kraftwerk they use is basically from the Man-Machine and Computer World. It's wonderful to hear that 70's industrial futurism with all its lush oriental arpeggios, and wobbly bass burps. The biggest difference between this revival oriented record and the original is the way it adds a little tiny bit of soul to the rhythm tracks, slight reggae flourishes on 'Looking Down on London', and some heavy break fills on the the hauntingly titled 'Bill Gates'. The space-walking dub, 'Terminus Interminus', with its megaphonic description of people wandering around an airport, and a hilarious repetition of Loverboy's loser-anthem 'Turn me Loose' repeated over the top. After 8 songs it becomes great backround music but not as gravity defying as the original. A completely pot-modern experience, unless you are under the age of 25.
