The very very subtly different 12" mix, strips out some of the syncopation, turns up the snare

I don't know if I really buy that anagram. they were plenty creative on CW. the problem is they never really figured out where to go from there.

Main reason to have that single on vinyl is to have a 45 rpm full-side pressing of 'numbers' xpost
Everyone knows the best kraftwerk album is the debut

the problem is they took so long after computer world that they got beat at their own game in the meantime

I listened to this again today and it was some of the most pleasure I've gotten from music in a while. It even completely fit the beautiful sunny weather.

The only negative I can't think of is that "It's More Fun to Compute", while an excellent song, doesn't really feel like a good closer.
Couldn't disagree more, it's a perfect closer (like 'Morgenspaziergang' or 'Franz Schubert').

It's a good closer, just not an obvious closer. It could have worked as well earlier in the album.

perfect album

yeah I take back what I said seven years ago, this is 100% great. Also, if anyone hasn't heard the Tokyo 1981 live boot, it's essential.

I bought some nice speakers a couple of years ago. They haven't exactly blown me away, I must be honest. However, the one album that makes me go 'oh wow, that's why I invested in these speakers' is Computer World. There are these little electronic fireworks going off all over the place. I have totally fallen in love with the record all over again.
