I guess you fell from sleep one night listening Charles ;-)
He did team up with Jim and Dannie owners of Wax Trax in Chicago, also with
Greg who worked there.
Mike Smythe from UK (co-owner of Wax Trax) was friend of Jac Holzman the
founder of Elektra.
Is the reason why Wax Trax stocked Computer World right after the release in
1981.
Wax Trax stocked also a lot of Spalax (defunct tempel records) founded by
Gabriel Ibos. Manuel Göttsching (E2-E4) signed on Spalax.
Gabriel Ibos teamed up with Daniel and Patrick from Front 242.
Daniel and Patrick teamed up with Jim (Wax Trax).
As a result of all these links Wax Trax, the supreme factory records in
Chicago at that time, stocked extensively independents European labels,
particularly in the so called "industrial", "electronic" music genre.
Hailing from Little Rock, Arkansas,from WAAM, to WJLB, to WGPR, to WCHB
among others...., "The Electrifying Mojo," a.k.a. Charles Johnson, who
played Computer World in 1981 on his Midnight Funk Association show, didn't
play E2-E4 in 1984 or after? I have difficulty in believing it.
To be checked...

I'm not sure how many people were actually hip to this record in Detroit
outside of Carl and maybe Derrick ... it wasn't something that everyone
heard on the radio -- or did I fall asleep listening to Mojo one night?

Most would probably not argue that it is one of the most influential
songs.
For the most direct relationship, check out Paperclip People's 'Remake',
which is basically a 10-minute remix of this song. I almost gagged the
other
day when I heard a progressive mix of this on TV. It was up there with
'Strings' level bastardizations.
