9. KraftwerkComputer World
I chose Computer World because I had to choose one album but it could have been any Kraftwerk album, from Ralf and Florian to Electric Café. I love all of them and they’re all obviously very influential to me. I thought I didn’t like Tour de France when I was younger because I was like ‘this is cheesy’, but I came back to it maybe a year or two ago, and actually thought it was pretty good. They’re always so ahead of other people. Kraftwerk for me were like magic. I never thought I could make music like that, discovering it all was surreal.
Selected in other Baker’s Dozens: Nite Jewel, Trans Am, Franz Treichler of The Young Gods, Vince Clarke, Lloyd Cole, Jon Spencer
