RE: [Kraftwerk] New tune.
by Toby Frith 24 Jun '03

The "Airwaves/Tango" track is perhaps significant here, because maybe it marks their move away from the big kickdrum sound of "The Mix". Maybe they've finally cottoned onto the "clickhouse" and dubtechno stuff by artists such as Basic Channel/Rhythm & Sound and Thomas Brinkmann. I'd love to hear either of those two remix KW. IF TDF does get remixed, and I'm sure it will, I hope that they don't use Orbital or UR again.

I have to admit... despite my initial scepticism... that you're right. It does grow on you funnily enough. It didn't have the typical signs of a "grower" when I first heard it but the fact is I am really beginning to enjoy it. At least much more than I ever did Expo or the new live tracks. I still want a remix with some more interesting drum action though...

Hi all, I was not disappointed at TdF '03, and I make that statement based on the fact that I was not expecting a groundbreaking warm loving melody mixed with intricated percussions. In fact, their new single has so many elements from E2K and the three new tunes, that it's almost naive for anyone to expect a second coming with their new album. I believe the lukewarm reception to TdF '03, E2K and the unreleased tracks played back in '97, has more to do with the missing elements, than with what's in them. There are almost no elements left, other than the vocals, from the band we all grew up with. Ralf and Florian, keep them coming. I'll buy anything from you guys. It's just that with every one of your new releases, you are making me miss Karl and Wolfgang more every time...

This album is totally recorded by Schnitzler alone and is free from compromise and devoted to his artistic vision - locked up and unheard for almost 30 years - this wonderfull album of electronic music is now finally available.
