TdF new single and album
by Nicolau Centola 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hi guys, see below from EMI Music Germany (special thanks to Jason). We will have a 3 tracks CD single, a 3 tracks 12" and a 1 track CD promo. Four new versions of TdF and a remastered from 83. The radio music will be Tour de France (Etape 2) Two interesting points: 1. the album (Tour de France... the same name) will contain 3 or 4 new tracks... the question is: which new tracks? Maybe the unreleased ones played live some years ago? Or completely new ones? 2. Kraftwerk have also supplied Eurosport with three 'jingles' featuring excerpts of the new versions running at 20, 30 and 60 seconds which will be featured throughout all coverage of the race on TV. Any other news (including the CD sleeve) will be posted at www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br peace Nicolau This year marks the centennial of the Tour de France and also the 20th anniversary of the Kraftwerk single of the same name. (It's also Kraftwerk's 33rd anniversary) To tie-in with this event Kraftwerk have recorded several brand new versions of their classic track 'Tour de France' which will be rush-released as a new single July 7th, to be followed by a "Tour de France" album July 21st . The album has a cycling theme / concept running throughout and should be seen as a "special project" as much as a new Kraftwerk album and almost as the " soundtrack" to the Tour de France. Kraftwerk have also supplied Eurosport with three 'jingles' featuring excerpts of the new versions running at 20, 30 and 60 seconds which will be featured throughout all coverage of the race on TV. Great exposure. Release plans: Single - Tour de France 2003 Release date - July 7 Promo formats: 1-track CD for radio featuring Tour De France 2003 (Etape 2). We're going to do a 12" white label (but the labels will be artworked) to try to speed the manufacturing time up a little so we can get them out to clubs as soon as possible. Tracks will be the same as commercial vinyl (see below). Commercial formats: 3-track CD and 12" vinyl, plus second CD format in a card wallet with only 2 tracks (again below). CD single (two-track version to feature Etape 1 & 2): 1. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 1) 3:30 2. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 2) 3:34 3. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 3) 3:40 12" vinyl: A. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 2) 7:30 (Ralf to confirm timing) B1. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 1) 3:30 B2. Tour de France 2003 (Etape 3) 3:40 Album - Tour de France Release date - July 21 Commercial formats - CD and 12" vinyl LP Track details - to be confirmed, but will include full length versions of Tour de France - Etape 1, 2 and 3, plus a brand new recording of the original single (similar in style to the recent live version) and 3 or 4 completely new tracks. Music We will be servicing 'Tour De France 2003 (Etape 2)' as our lead radio track, with the video edited to this mix. However the songs will remain in the original Etape 1,2 and 3 sequence for all commercial CD formats.

>I am interested on buying or trading for a copy of "The Man Machine" french >pressing red vynil LP. >I own some copies of KW live in Paris DVD that I can give for that. Oh, I thought you were joking on this. I suppose London's Music and video exchange shops - Notting Hill Gate branch - still has the copy I saw there in April, then priced at UK£475,-. Try to call them or send them an email (www.google.com for info). I have it, but I aint trading it, and certainly not for a bootleg... (apologies if this is something official that escaped me!) oystein _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail snakker ditt språk! http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/sbox?rru=dasp/lang.asp - Få Hotmail på norsk i dag

TdT 2003 on Radio 1
by Mark J Stagg 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Hey... just heard Tour De France 2003 on Mark & Lard's Show (BBC Radio 1, UK). Missed the beginning, but here's my impression: Totally different from the original, with 4-on-the-floor kick drum and phasey hihat, lots of filtered squidgey argeggio/sequence stuff, an occasional analog/string pad melody, and a very deep vocoder or computer-generated vocal intoning place names etc, but not the same as the original version - seemed to be more in fact. No sign of the original melody-line. Loved the sound of it... Mark & Lard talked about it having "that effortless Kraftwerk grace", but dunno if there was much a hook (similar to "Expo" I guess). Need to hear it more.... They mentioned the release date and called it "Tour De France Stages 1, 2 & 3" so I can only speculate that it was "Stage 1" they played. They're definitely big KW fans - they had "Expo" as their single of the week back then, so I imagine they'll be playing it more. This all means that there must be some promo CDRs at least out there... :-) Staggboy

>EMI Norway has also released a press statement about the new album and >single, which they have never done before (after The Mix, of course). ..and so did EMI Sweden! Although EMI Sweden was caught up in the Techno Pop fiasco, it's at least yet another country acknowledging. :) Peo _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

There's now a page on EMI Germany's website for the single, still under construction it seems, but it looks like there will be soundclips available of the 3 tracks (apparently titled Etappe 1, 2 and 3) soon: http://www.emi-catalogue-marketing.de/xml/9/500021/5526902.html Staggboy
