Talk:Computer World

message: The dot does *not* represent a hyphen, it is a centred decimal point character (option+shift+9) and is there to indicate a word space, in the style of machine read text printout. Nowhere else will you find this album indexed as "Computer-World". The Man-Machine lettering is a different case, as the constructivist style of typography often used highly stylized letterforms that simplified or exagerrated elements (as in this case the hyphen, or the 'w' in 'Kraftwerk'). I'm afraid this change is typical of distortions introduced by well-meaning amateur enthusiasts, but it just makes life awkward for normal people searching for key words. Please undo this pedantry.

thread_title: Computer World vs Computer-World

message: The main Kraftwerk page indicates that a speak and spell was NOT used for the electronic vocals on this CD. If no citation can be provided, this will be changed to the Language Translator as indicated on the main page. Bcirker 14:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Samples of the Speak & Spell's "on" and "off" jingles were used in combination at the beginning of Heimcomputer/Home Computer. I've no way of recording an example so I've put a link to an online version. Ricadus 15:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I also made reference to it on the Kraftwerk page, though it may be going into too much detail there and slightly off topic – if so, remove it from there but keep the amendments to the Computer World page.Ricadus 15:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

text: "Von Himmel Hoch" features a lengthy lollopping bluesy jam section, with Hütter & Schneider getting 'dahn' with da bass on Tubon and Pitch-to-voltage-synthflute. In Pascal Busy's biography, Bartos relates that, when he was initally recruited, R&F did not like him playing rhythms with accented off-beats, they were "rather disturbed by it". Computerwelt is the first instance of them returning.--feline1 16:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: As far as I know, the neon vinyl pressings of Computer World are recently made bootlegs.
I see them for sale all the time at stores like Lou's Records in Leucadia, CA and Amoeba Music.
If they are the ones that I'm thinking of, they are made in Australia and have Warner Bros. listed as the label.
This is obviously incorrect, as EMI acts as Kraftwerk's label outside of the US.
Would someone be able to verify this?
:AFAIK the only neon/fluorescent vinyl discs were the UK Neon Lights twelve inch single (a very, very pale green) and the US Pocket Calculator seven inch single (a cold yellow colour, not really fluorescent). Similarly, no picture discs are official releases. The website at http://www.poecker.homepage.t-online.de/01/discog.htm has all the info on official international releases.

thread_title:  Neon Vinyl Pressings??? 

message: This line bothers me: "For the first time since 1970's "Vom Himmel Hoch" from the group's first album, the band displayed shades of funk music - tracks such as "Numbers" went on to influence early elements of hip hop music in the US.[2]" I can't find this citation anywhere. Besides, isn't it a stretch to suggest that Kraftwerk is in any way responsible for creating that awful hippy-hoppy crappola? Please show us a citation that is verifiable or we'll have to remove the above sentence.--137.186.237.106 (talk) 21:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Are you guys sure that the Prophet 5 was only used on tour?
The sweep that can be heard on 'It's more fun to compute' pretty much sounds like it uses a CEM filter which can be found in later Prophet 5 models.
This sweep can't be exactly the same with Prophet-5 because of the VCO. Yes, Prophet-5 can modulate the cutoff frequency with the Osc-B - but its' sawtooth wave goes upward while in the track it's downward (try slowing it down x4). This sound is a pure Minimoog whose VCO has both versions of Sawtooh - just remember 'Antenna' from 1975.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.223.96.178 (talk) 02:43, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Wolfgang Flür isn't mentioned in the credits given in the article, even though his face appears on the album cover. Is it really true that he doesn't appear on the album at all? 62.78.230.2 (talk) 13:52, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
