Kraftwerk moved on with every next release, trying hard to push the future's boundaries towards technological extremes but 'Computerwelt' (or 'Computer-World' if you like it), is undoubtedly one sole example of such perfection when there is no need for any further updates.

The bizarre case of the group's sometime-multilanguage album/single versions here reflects in the very mix - German variant of more popular English one is at times different or say, confusingly errored - while 'Computerwelt 2', 'Heimcomputer' and 'Taschenrechner' all appear in irrelevantly different but still altered mix, 'Computerliebe' on the other hand suddenly slows down at the end, seeming like a tune disobeying its computer's pre-programmed session.

As a whole, only geniuses like Kraftwerk could have made such an album - thrilling in the wake of forthcoming techno-progressive mankind but just as equally as fightening for all of that very mankind's weaknesses before total control and power. In seven songs, or better - topics, 'Computerwelt' summarizes economics, financial disputes, administration and the secret services, virtual sex, the internet and by the time 'It's More Fun To Compute' ends this virtual trip, you're left with fair share of anxiety - 'the future is always now but it's still not...'

Kraftwerk are very wisely suggesting the ways the future can be directed as friendly but also leave sharp, discrete warnings of its abuse.
