Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Non -Foxx albums on a par with Metamatic ?

maybe, but to me computer world is PERFECT. for the more rough & experimental masterpiece i'd say radio-activity.

Personal taste obviously does come into the equation; you prefer Computer World, I prefer Autobahn, but bearing in mind that the criteria here were 'innovation' and 'genius' I still don't think there's a lot that was innovative or even particularly clever about Computer World at the time of its release. As I said though, it's about personal taste and personal opinions.

Don't get me wrong, I do like Computer World but I just don't think it holds up to Metamatic in terms of innovation and genius the way Autobahn, in my opinion, does.

Ô¿Ô

Although my favourite Kraftwerk album is 'Radioactivity',. I have to agree with Stringy about 'Autobahn' being Kraftwerk at their most innovative.

Or is my favourite 'Kraftwerk 1' hmmm....

Well, my favourite Kraftwerk album is Trans Europe Express.

I'd say that was as innovative as Metamatic.

Maybe All Kraftwerk album were as innovative as Metamatic...?

It is my favourite too, and for me much more innovative than Metamatic (which is perhaps saying something). I have heard it said that from that one album you get just about everything that subsequently developed in the electronic/dance/techno fields.

Associates: Sulk

I remember a french TV popmag.
It existed in the late seventies and early eighties.
The era my musical taste was formed.
It showed Roxy Music ('Manifesto'), John's Underpass, early Ballet and Duran etcetera.
But I can still remember the first time I heard and saw the Associates doing 'Party Fears Two'. What a song! What an energy! So modern! And that voice ... (my first thought was: "Bowie eat your heart out"!).
