Wow! Simply stunning. I hear a lot of electronic music, with a lot of albums coming in my door, and this one instantly jumped out and grabbed me. I had Rother's DVD release before this so I knew to expect good things, but this polished album surpassed all expectations. As of now I am a die-hard Rother fan.
Track 4 is simply one of the best electronic songs ever written. Meld Kraftwerk with an electro anthem and modernize it and you get this. The melody is absolutely mind-blowing as the underlying waves wash over you and perfectly meshed layers creep in. Speechless.
The other biggie for me is track 2, which gives a brief biography of Rother in the lyrics. Like the emotional bits on the DVD, this further highlights how much heart he puts into all his music.
Also great are track 1, 3 and the epic journey 11.
My only complaint is some of the unmentioned tracks are a tad weak, but really only in comparison to the unbeatable tracks. Hunt down this CD now!

"Little Computer People" once was a wide-spread simulation game on the commodore 64. Today it stands for another pseudonym by german electro-god Anthony Rother. This project reflects the more happier, more commercial electro tunes he does, more than often falling back to good old chiptune-melodies. This album is a must-have for both electro music fans and commodore fans..
