This week on Teenage Kicks, we'll highlight Computer World by Kraftwerk. It's an album that finds Kraftwerk focused on how technology was changing us, with songs about Pocket Calculators, home computers — even computer love! At the same time, the rest of the music world was starting to catch on, and this era saw an explosion of synthesizer-based music from Depeche Mode, OMD, Gary Numan, Thomas Dolby, and A Flock Of Seagulls. Kraftwerk and those they inspired, this week on Teenage Kicks.
