Today I had the chance to hear the entire album (it was promotional copy with cat. number KW3 available only for journalists). The good news is that the whole album is 57:02 minutes long (which is not topical in case of Kraftwerk). As mentioned before: it's concept album - the sub-title 'Soundtracks' gives good impression what you might expect. It all sounds like (e.g.) real soundtrack for some movie about Tour de France or cycling. And I also feel the presence of this 'romantic' spice which I liked from TEE. Already known 'Vitamin' has good hit potential. I hope it will be released as another single and wih accompaning video-clip (on heavy rotation on MTV & VIVA :-) For those who have the disc already: could you please check Track 5 (Chrono) at 00:39-00:40. It seems there is some mastering-error at this point (I hope the 'retail' version will be OK). One thing I regret: the three 'new' tracks from 1997 have gone somewhere. I hope they are not vanished completely, as they were logical bridge between 'old' and recent Kraftwerk. We all have been waiting for this for so many years - it's great to finally have new album from THEM. This music is step forward for me. Ralf & Florian: besten Dank! It's quite good album! All Werkers: please go to shop around the corner and buy the album as soon as it's released! It's worth of it (I'm going to buy it in both: vinyl and CD version - I have strange feeling that it will sound even better pressed on good_old_analogue_vinyl_long_play). And I keep my fingers crossed for another European tournee soon! TK
