It is a must. It might show up on Sonic Bubblegum. Then again, it might
not.

I like the single a lot better than the whole album.

I wouldn't say that all their stuff is a must. That way, someone on the
list might randomly pick 'Electric Cafe' or 'Radio-Activity,' neither of
which really made a huge impact. All of 'The Man-Machine,' 'Trans-Europe
Express,' and 'Computer World' are absolute hust-haves, though. The rest of
their albums range from fair to great. I've been thinking of writing up
reviews for all of their albums that have come out on CD, if there's
interest I could do it this week.

As long as we're on the subject of older stuff relevant to today's IDM,
how about the following:

Brian Eno - Ambient 4: On Land ('82, Editions EG US: EEGCD 20) 8 tracks,
0:44:34
Keith LeBlanc - Major Malfunction ('86, Southern UK: EFA CD 26-07952) 2
tracks, 0:33:01
Tangerine Dream - Poland (2 discs, '84, Relativity US: 88561-8045-2) 5
tracks, 1:21:51
Various - Relics: A Transmat Compilation ('92, Transmat/Buzz BE: BZZCD
106106) 27 tracks, 1:20:00
