Radio Tour información Transmisión por televisión Reportajes desde las motos cámaras de vídeo y fotográficas Los equipos son presentados Se da la salida las etapas pasan veloces y la carrera ha comenzado Los corredores cronometados para la prueba de la verdad Las montañas, los valles La gran caravana, los desfiles El banderín rojo es rebasado Maillot amarillo en la meta DER AUTOMAT

Thoughts on TDF 2003
by Toby Frith 15 Jul '03

15 Jul '03

After having had TDF on the stereo for over a week now, and having had time to appreciate it's subtle nuances, I think it's a v.good single. It's not brilliant, but for a "pop band" (Which in subjective terms, they are) it is wonderfully contemporary. "Etape 2" is my fave, if for the fact that it does not have a definitive "motif" - every time I hear that stabbing synth, it sounds different, as if it's leading me somewhere different. The vocodered vocals are magnificent. I played it out at a club on Saturday and through a loud system they sound truly fantastic. No other band or artist can produce such a sound. It reminds me of listening to Expo 2000 last year in Paris. OK it was the UR version, but had obviously been reworked by them. It sounded both thundering (the kick drum was phenomenal if I remember) and had acres of space (which all great techno has) in which to imply sound. Techno's greatest weapon is the implication of sound. (Jeff Mills has always defined it as being the ability to imagine sound in between the beats) More importantly however, for a band that have been producing music for a period spanning 33 years, they are still at the forefront. They are not by definition an experimental band, in fact they defy definition, but TDF 03 proves that they can produce contemporary music that carries their trademark signature on it . Name me one artist who can still produce music that sounds at the cutting edge after 30 years in the business, and is also within the boundaries of popular music. I had always thought of KW's inevitable return with dread, purely because virtually no band has ever managed it with style. When I heard the new songs that were played live during '97 and '98 I was worried, because as some reviewers had put it, they sounded contemporary but without the Kraftwerk "sheen" and attention to detail that we know and love. Essentially they sounded as if they'd been knocked out in a few minutes. So thankfully they didn't release any new music in '99, and then decided to release something to coincide with TDF. It makes sense. Roll on the LP and the tour!

>From the Spiegel interview with Ralf: "SPIEGEL: Hat Sie das 100-jährige Jubiläum der Tour de France dazu bewogen, Ihr neues Werk gerade jetzt herauszubringen? Hütter: Die Idee für das Album hatten wir vor 20 Jahren. Damals haben wir ein Skript als Film durchgeschrieben. Aber erst als wir letztes Jahr in Paris Konzerte gaben und unsere Roboter dort im Museum ausgestellt wurden, klickte es bei uns, und wir haben die Pläne zu Ende geführt." Translation: SPIEGEL: Is it the 100 years anniversary for the Tour de France, which made you decide to release your new work now? Hütter: The idea for the album came to us 20 years ago. At that time, we wrote it as a script for a film. But it didn't click for us until last year, when we gave the concerts in Paris and when our robots were exhibited in the museum there. Then could we bring our plans to an end. another funny bit: SPIEGEL: Und Sie sind die ganze Zeit im Studio nur mit Musik beschäftigt? Hütter: Nein. Wir entwickeln Konzepte, Formeln und Denkmodelle. Wir verbringen unsere Zeit nicht damit, dass wir 20 Versionen eines Lieds aufnehmen, von denen 19 dann in der Schublade landen. Wir arbeiten sehr zielorientiert. Was wir anfangen, wird auch veröffentlicht. Unsere Archive sind leer. Translation: SPIEGEL: And in the studio you do nothing but music? Hütter: No. We develop concepts, formulas and thinking models. We do not spend our time on making 20 versions of a song only to leave 19 in the closet. We work very goal oriented. What we start - gets released. Our archives are empty. -------------- I like the new song, especially the versions where Ralf sings. He is very smooth. The Robovox slightly overdoes the nasal French sounds... Question to the French native speakers: is "chronométrér" a common verb or an invention (obviously it's very easy to understand)? Jan
