Five long years after 《Computer World》, Kraftwerk finally resurfaced with another LP, Electric Cafe; the rest of the pop music industry having finally caught up with the group´s vision, they no longer seem so innovative and inspired ? indeed, the record´s brief running time (under 36 minutes) seems indicative of a lack of ideas and new directions, with the spartan opening tracks, 《Technopop》 and 《Musique Non-Stop》 virtually interchangeable and the remaining cuts surprisingly mainstream in both form and content.
