Kraftwerk - Computer World (1981)
This record is without question one of my top 10 albums. And if you are talking about pioneering electronic records, it’s second to none.

commentsExperimental German Rock And Electronic Music 1971-81 I wasn’t overly keen on going for a pint on Saturday despite it being muggy, late-afternoon, a spontaneous activity and tempered with a perceived sense at least, that it would more than likely result in a free beer.
commentsI left home in 1977 and remember trying to find my “cool”. I never did find it but this was as close as I got to at least planting a seed.
commentsLed “Folking” Zeppelin. After hearing Fairport Convention’s “Reynardine” the other night at our monthly “Shut Up and Listen” session, I was struck by the Led Zeppelinesqueness (yes it really is a word - google it!
commentsThe themes were: One Word Songs. (Bonus points if led by a woman singer), Bonus Track
commentsJust organising some tracks for tonight and thought I really needed to play a track from the wonderful Yo La Tengo.
commentsAnother messy, lower than lo-fi chunk of American noise/Krautrock from London’s Hamstead. WTF, I always assumed they were American! After some fact checking I found out they were actually part of the Camden lurch scene of the early to mid 90’s.
commentsOne of my favourite slabs of vinyl gets some rotation time this afternoon. I usually don’t bother with remastered, re-purposed and re-marketed records that have an abundance of demos, b-sides and obscurities that you might listen to once.
commentsI laughed myself silly this morning while walking the dog with my wife Sarah. On the last stretch home, Sarah stopped walking, hopped on to one leg and proclaimed “I’ve got stones in my groove”.
commentsI should have played Rory this evening. “Too Much Alcohol” perhaps? OK it’s Friday post-work - we have two choices. Go home and do some housework or have a friendly pint at The Free House.
