Feeling very affectionate towards my computer this morning, I decided to find a machine readable song that it could groove on, and where else would I turn but Kraftwerk, in particular the album Computer World. So this one is for you computer, for all the hard work you do for me, I “Computer Love” you!
And if there is any doubt, this video of an outrageously cool live performance of “Elektro Cardiogram” proves that Kraftwerk put the “tech” in techno.
Now tell me these crazy Germans don’t rule! Moreover, not only did they define techno, the have one of the most influential tracks in the birth of rap and hip hop. Wow!
