bring on the tour!

Not just the production either, a couple of tracks are real dancefloor material, and quite freaky in places. Maybe I don't hear enough, but in my opinion the confidence and fluency with the melodies and rhythms is very advanced. And it's great just to have some new output from the guys, hopefully a tour (that you can realistically get to) isn't far away?
Re: (313) Tour De France Soundtracks
I love the freaky bits, they're sort of what Kraftwerk are all about for me. UK tour would be great but not holding my breath, anyone know when Kraftwerk last appeared in the UK - was it Tribal Gathering? Anyone go to The Big Chill this weekend? Cinematic Orchestra were fantastic, but Francois K was a bit dissapointing...no techno! Also at the Big Chill, did any of the disco heads check "Shatner's Bassoon" AKA Bill Brewster and Paul Noble doing a Ron Hardy style set of edits and FX - 'absolutely rinsing' as junglists used to say, though my judgment at that point wasn't exactly at its most objective (ifyerknowhatimean).

It was posted to alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.electronic 2 days ago, where've you been? :-) 1st impression: It's Kraftwerk, it washes over you like a familiar perfume from an old girlfriend, but ultimately it's benign, it's inoffensive and despite the familiar odor, nothing about it makes your [EMAIL PROTECTED] hard :-/ - Greg

Has anyone picked this up yet?
Re: (313) Tour De France Soundtracks
What I find somewhat perplexing is that while you can buy all these really
cool t-shirts, mouse pads, and even skateboards from KlingKlang - they
don't have any CDs or records for sale.
I love the new track titles - can't wait to hear "Aero dynamik" and
"Elektro Kardiogramm"
Oh, by the way - for some interesting electro pick up the Mr. Velcro
Fastner double 12 on Zenit records - "Thales of Miletos" - deep stuff that
sits nicely along the side of anything on the dub label or din. Not
dancefloor oriented but - hell why not play it as I think it should be
heard in a nightclub or other similar space.
