awesomeperson Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 This record went on to be the template for 90's electro, must have been Gerald Donald's favorite during this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only "discovered" the record through a DJ dropping this in a house club a bit over ten years ago. What a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much of a mood change compared to the steady flow of the other tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 so essentially the was Kraftwerk's last ground breaking work, i wonder if they knew just how ahead of its time it was going to be and decided to almost retire the Kraftwerk ethos at that point.

If that was case why did they release electic cafe? maybe they should have retired after the tour de france single, then again i do like electic cafe more then i did back in the 80's. and where would we be without the later remix of radioactivity, especially the william orbit remix :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awepittance Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 i think they did Electric Cafe to milk the cow, it's not a bad album by any means, it just sounds very dated now unlike Computer World, which is why i feel musically (not in image) they dropped any pretense of being futuristic or advanced and no longer were able to bring that spirit back.

Agreed. Although Electric Cafe is a great album, it sounds like the time it was released. Where Computer World has stood the test of 30 years and more to come!

klanty Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thought they'd recorded an analogue version of Electric Cafe which they then scrapped because they got worried they'd be considered as old hat compared to the 80s digital synth hotness that happened after Computer World came out. In hindsight we can see it wasn't the best decision they could've made but it's kind of understandable in the context of the times. Then they spent the next decade obsessively digitising everything they'd done up til that point. But saying Electric Cafe was milking the cow is a tad unfair.

But saying Electric Cafe was milking the cow is a tad unfair. yeah you're right, but i think their career afterwards has been trying to ride on that old spirit a little too heavily, but what direction can they go in? Tour De France was interesting, i liked that a little better than electric cafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
