It surely did, your'e dreamin' if you think computer world is better though, Showroom Dummies says it all. The Man Machine is incredible too however.

och, they're all bloody fantastic it goes without saying

Man Machines got the best sleeve for sure

and showroom dummies is a truly cool track (and quite scary)

but what swings it for me is the extended album instrumental bit on Computor Love.......total genius (even though its from the 80s and therfor bugger all to do with this thread)

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

Due to over exsposure it's lost a lot of it's freshness, but it truly is an amazing piece of music.

There's too many to choose from.
