New album?
by MuzikJunky 14 Jun '03

1. I'll believe it when I see it. 2. Which EMI subsidiary has the title for the US? For "Expo Remix," it was Astralwerks/Caroline/Virgin. It's probably more than likely that Caroline will distribute the title rather than EMM (EMI Music Marketing, formerly EMD) proper because it won't sell millions and millions. > But mainly the time the factories make the CDs, the bigger the > release, the > longer the time. 3. This is not true. CDs are often "bumped," the detestable practice of moving an album's release to a later date repeatedly, so that more pre-release buzz can be generated, which translates into more initial sales (hopefully, on the label's behalf). Sometimes albums are bumped into extinction, without ever being released at all, due to label politics, such as Ras Kass's unreleased 3rd album, "Van Gogh," and the first two albums by the Wu-Tang Clan affiliate group known as Deadly Venoms. Peace.

KRAFTWERK RETURN WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE AND ALBUM
by Nicolau Centola 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Yes, guys, I think it's finally happened! See below the official announcement of EMI to the new Kraftwerk release. We have to know now what kind of material we will have. I contact some friends in england and they told me its difficult to know what to expect. The chances are that as it says it is a 'soundtrack' for the TDF then it may be all instrumental and no songs. Not too sure really. I just hope it is longer than the usual 45 minutes. Any news will be published at www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br peace Nicolau KRAFTWERK RETURN WITH BRAND NEW SINGLE AND ALBUM EMI Records are pleased to announce the rush-release of the new single and album from Kraftwerk. The single, 'Tour De France 03' is released on 7th July to coincide with the centenary of the Tour de France bicycle race (which this year starts on 5th July) and will be available on CD and 12" vinyl. The album, 'Tour De France' features the all-new recordings of 'Tour De France 03' alongside brand new compositions and a new version of their seminal, electro masterpiece 'Tour De France' from 1983. Kraftwerk are currently working on the final album mix at their Kling Klang studio in DÃ¼sseldorf, with the release scheduled for 21st July, 2003. Kraftwerk's music on 'Tour De France' acts as a soundtrack to the race and inspires similar feelings of drama, excitement and intensity. Kraftwerk - Man and Machine in perfect harmony.

Re: "I was a Robot" (Second Edition)
by Anders Wahlbom 13 Jun '03

Hi all, I usually only post to the list when I have something to say, which is every other year or so. This time I think I can add something vaguely relevant. Der Automat: >Amir Rahim wrote: > >> In other words, just as semi-boring as the first edition. >> I wonder what Hutter has to say? >> Or better yet a CD release of new material. > >AFAIR Ralf talked about this book in any interview, doesn't he? Haven't read that, but when I interviewed Karl in July 2000 (at the Arvika festival) I asked him what he thought about the book. The relevant paragraph, right after Karl says he didn't like it much: "I think it's too personal. We are good friends and we talk to each other, and as he sent me the manuscripts I told him not to publish it or just make it more abstract. It's much too personal for my kind of like. But for him it's a kind of therapy, and it's his personal point of view. If I would write a book it would be totally different. So it's just one point of view, and I think his point of view is too romantic and too full of feelings. He seems to be very hurt. But I usually don't talk about other people's work. I'm not a critic, I think everybody should read it himself or herself and judge later." If you want to I can post the whole interview as printed in Prospective 2/2000; I think that issue of the magazine is sold out anyway. And after that, I'll probably go back to lurking until 2005 or so.

Tour de France 2003
by Oystein Moe 13 Jun '03

As was said by Mr. Duarte: >It wouldn't be the first time EMI has to remove a reserved Catalouge >number for an anounced Kraftwerk Album that never was released :) Wouldn't even be the first time that illustration was used as the design for an unreleased LP... But hey, it _does_ seem more likely than before.
