Like the music on their landmark releases AUTOBAHN and TRANS-EUROPE EXPRESS, the meticulously calibrated synth-scapes of TOUR DE FRANCE SOUNDTRACKS conjure visions of machines churning in mechanized perfection and sensations of roboticecstasy.The cerebral yet infectious beats that characterize the three versions of the single and tracks like \"Chrono\" and \"Titanium\" are ambitious and compelling, full of clicking polyrhythms and edgy, icy funk. As usual, these are layered with electronic micro-melodies and Vocoder-filtered vocals. The theme of France's famous bike race plays heavily in the album, from the song titles to the heatbeat and heavy breathing in \"Electro Kardiogramm.\" Kraftwerk began this project in 1983, when they released the \"Tour de France\" single; though it took the band 20 years to complete the album, the results are fresh as anything Kraftwerk ever released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe 10th Studio album by the German electronic \/ prog group,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eKraftwerk, originally released in 2003, comprised of material\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erecorded between 1983 and 2003.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThis is the beautiful re-issue from EU's Kling Klang Produkt from 2009.
