Computer World is a monthly club night dedicated to playing the very best of before, during and after the 80s electro pop, new wave and alternative / electronic music, with dashes of disco, punk and goth.....and the odd curveball here and there!
Named in honour of Kraftwerk's legendary 1981 album, 'Computer World' has run in Taunton monthly on a Saturday since summer 2021. We'll be delivering a 5 hour playlist blending classic synth-centric, new wave and darker, gothy tunes you know by heart (so there's no excuse for not singing along!), as well as tunes you forgot you loved back in the day. It means we can stuff the playlist with over 80 tracks, including classics like....
Gary Numan - Cars
New Order - Blue Monday
M - Pop Muzik
Kraftwerk - The Model
OMD - Enola Gay
Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence
Erasure - Sometimes
Yazoo - Don't Go
Japan - Quiet Life
Dead Or Alive - You Spin me Round
Divine - You Think You're A Man
Man 2 Man / Man Parrish - Male Stripper
ABC - Poison Arrow
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax
Howard Jones - New Song
Thompson Twins - Love On Your Side
Sparks - Beat The Clock
The Cure - The Walk
The Sisters Of Mercy - This Corrosion
Front 242 - Headhunter
Front Line Assembly - Mindphaser
Ultravox - Sleepwalk
Visage - Fade To Grey
Reflex - The Politics Of Dancing
Belouis Some - Imagination
Pet Shop Boys - Go West
Cerrone - Supernature
Space - Magic Fly
Duran Duran - Planet Earth
The Clash - London Calling
Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK
The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin
Donna Summer - I Feel Love

Our playlists normally blend the legends with the lesser known and the older with the newer wave, exploring the electronic and new wave scenes from before, during and after the 80s.
Come join us for our final CW Taunton session until September, and to mark the occasion, tonight's synthy selection will be DJ's choice for the first hour, then it's over to you! Just make sure you answer the "requests" question when you book your ticket, and we'll do our best to comply (as long as it's in the CW spirit!). CW Patron members can submit their requests direct to Jez.
