I suspect electrical problems is not a big issue for a band called Kraftwerk anyway!

KWTdF03 on OLN pre-race show almost continuously
by KWNumbers 13 Jul '03

13 Jul '03

Every day now on the US OLN TdF "pre-race" coverage they are playing Kraftwerk in the background virtually continously throughout the whole show. It's like listening to the CD on replay. Is this for real? Then on the video clip Ja Ja is sitting there listening to that French guy introduce Kraftwerk with a grin on his face, and he's in the video.

TdF '03 in Poland
by Tomasz Kirmuc 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Finally, I've got my hand on TdF '03 single which now available in my far country (it's UK edition with copy control system)! I must say: I love this new music, I love their new sound. For me it's step forward. My favourite is 'Version 3' - it has some connection with 'Home Computer' and "It's More Fun To Compute". It should be 2x longer. Now I believe new album will be brilliant one! I can't wait the release date! BTW - any one knows good & simple software for gapless playback of MP3s and Audio CDs in the Windows (9x/Me)?

USA Reporting (Update 07/10)
by Enrique Correa 12 Jul '03

12 Jul '03

Finally got the TdF '03 CD single from a Virgin Megastore! So far I like what I hear. Good sounds. No copy protected label on my CD, only a "Le Tour de France, 1903 * 2003 centenaire du Tour de France" sticker on it. So much for my review, what I'd really like to share with all of you, specially since I've been reading quite a bit of a heated debate about streaming, downloading and the likes, is the following note the US, ASW 52689 / 72435 52689 2 1 inner sleeve has: "Thank you for buying this music and for supporting the artists, songwriters, musicians and others who've created it and made it possible. Please remember that this recording and artwork are protected by copyright law. Since you don't own the copyright, it's not yours to distribute. Please don't use internet services that promote the illegal distribution of copyrighted music, give away illegal copies of discs or lend discs to others for copying. It's hurting the artists who created it the music. It has the same effect as stealing a disc from a store without paying for it. Applicable laws provide sever civil and criminal penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution and digital transmission of copyrighted sound recordings. To find legal downloads visit: www.musicfromemi.com" Enough said. I've paid $7.99 plus tax for my legal CD. I encourage the rest of you to do the same, whatever the cost in your country might be. Thanks, E
