Rumors abounded that Komputer was actually Kraftwerk in disguise. As Komputer's first two EPs were dead ringers for Mssrs. Hutter and Schneider's historical templates, it's easy to have made such a mistake. Mirroring groove for groove and blip for blip, vocalist David Baker sing-speaks Komputer's techno-pop fascination with Bill Gates, automation, and geography in the same Vocoder-inflected monotone ol' Ralf H. soldered onto many a surging power plant beat.
Granted, Komputer might not have the crackling inventiveness laid down by its Krautrock ancestors. Yet THE WORLD OF TOMORROW, Komputer's debut album exudes not only a quaint charm but also a fairly sharp predilection for melody and an obvious taste for metallic digi-rhythms. The caressing buzz-and-bop of "Looking Down on London" and "Valentina" twirls the lobes a notch or two, and "Komputer Pop" is simply, well, ravishing sequencer bubble-gum nonstop. Until the 'Werk plugs into the network again, list Komputer at the top of your hit parade for endless doppelgangin' pleasure.
