People sometimes say, what can you do with a old computer?, Well make music like this. This must be made at an 8086 or 80186 computer i think.

that is all in your head. Wav quality format (CD) converted to mp3 actually loses much in the compression even if it is compressed to 320 kbps. Mp3 is not a lossless medium.

The computer-graphics are made in the USA by the awesome visual artist Rebecca Allen and her team.

Has anyone of you noticed how fantastic tracks by Kraftwerk sound in mp3-files? It's extra-ordinary. It's exactly this song where it's the most obvious. I noticed it when when I heard this the very first time on my iPod, after just having ripped it from CD. I could not believe the razor-sharp crispness of the sound and the utter, complete silence for a second at 1:35 and at 1:37, and how some of the basslines and highhats bounce from left to right... I could go on, keep an ear out for for this!

lol, cheers for that that's perfectly in line with Comedy greats as 'Allo 'allo! Being a native German speaker and having lived for 12 years in London I'm by the time certain myself that it's aurally pretty ugly a language, or at least weird sounding. It is nice written though (and supposedly the clearest language in terms of audibility over a tannoy: "ACHTUNG!!!" being a prime example... ; )

Certainly a tour-de-force for Kraftwerk. The fractal graphics used to generate the faces certainly required half the computing power of the entire nation of West Germany at the time to create. Awesome!
