| | Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The German band Sweetbox wrote a song titled Tour De France dedicated for the race which was supposed to be on the European edition of the Adagio album in 2004. | | | It didn't make the album cut, but was later released on the Raw Treasures Volume 1 album in 2005, a special album with some of the demo's and songs that were unreleased. | | | In 1983, the German music group Kraftwerk released the single Tour de France which was described as a minimalistic "melding of man and machine". |

| | None of the four tracks that were to appear on 1983's TECHNOPOP album appear on this album except for a new version of Tour De France. | | | Not only Tour de France 2003 is the album of the week, TDF2003 is the most important music event of the century and also probably will turn itself into one of the most important titles of the electronica in the history. | | | Nice to have the remix of the original Tour de France, but the new version (and all the other tracks) are a bit dull. |

| | In Music We Trust - Kraftwerk: Tour De France Soundtracks |
| | Tour De France Soundtracks is an entire album of Kraftwerk still pushing their original sound and with four takes of the title track to boot. | | | They recently released a remixed and reduxed version of their 1983 "Tour De France" single, which served a purpose, considering the event had celebrated its 100th birthday this year. | | | Overkill of that one track might be a tad harsh on the listener, but really, it's what lies elsewhere that makes Soundtracks a rewarding experience. |

| | Kraftwerk: Tour de France Soundtracks: Pitchfork Review |
| | Perhaps the only really disappointing aspect of Tour de France-- beyond the still-not-that-great version of the title song (which ends the album)-- is that it emits a muted, comfortable aura rather than the immediately striking tone of their classic releases. | | | Its first single was to have been "Tour de France", and that track was in fact released in 1983. | | | In fact, when the three-part "Tour de France" single was released earlier this year, many fans were disappointed: it would take more than modern tweaking to turn its thin melody and almost non-existent lyrical concerns (even for Kraftwerk) into something interesting. |

| | Tour De France themes pierce the new album and can be found in tracks such as "Areo Dynamik", "Titanium", "Vitamin" and "Elektro Kardiogramm". | | | Kraftwerk, the musical power station who revolutionised music with Autobahn in the 1970s, release Tour De France Soundtracks. | | | Each track is cleverly thought out, combined with simple but effective sound effects and each has a distinct sense of individuality amidst an easily recognisable collective sound that penetrates the CD in general. |

| | Tracks 1-5 of this 12-track album produce a lengthy and it has to be said, dour, clubby version of their famous ‘Tour De France’ single, whilst the closing track is the original itself. | | | However, little of Tour De France Soundtracks is comparable to anything on their previous albums of 20-30 years ago. | | | Tour De France Soundtracks gives you all the clues you need to know about why it has taken Kraftwerk so long to write another album. |

| | Splendid Magazine reviews Kraftwerk: Tour de France Soundtracks |
| | Their first bona fide album since 1986, Tour De France Soundtracks was meant to coincide with Tour De France 2003, though it's said that the band's perfectionist bent delayed the full album enough to miss the event's initial kickoff (the spectacular single "Tour De France" was the sole track to make the deadline.). | | | Break the Tour De France down to its most basic parts and you have the synergy of a man and his machine. | | | It's possible that the first three tracks (all mixes of "Tour de France") will conjure nothing more than quirky but favorable images of Euro-trance, with kinetic arpeggiations and kick drum/high hat interplay. |

| | Presented in an almost identical artwork to the 1983 Tour De France 12” and the unreleased Techno Pop album, which was originally due that same year, Tour De France Soundtracks still feeds on some of the minimalist structures championed by the band in their heyday. | | | Formed in the early seventies by Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter, the band had expanded to a quartet by the time they released their fourth album, Autobahn, in 1974, their first to be released in the USA. | | | Past Prologue, the first three versions, or etapes, of Tour De France prove a tad disappointing as the band revisit the same theme from three different angles. |

| | Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks - Review - Stylus Magazine |
| | Apparently, the album Technopop had been scheduled as a follow-up to 1981’s Computer World and ‘Tour de France’ was in fact released as the album’s first single in 1983. | | | Closing the recording with ‘Tour de France’ provides a satisfying unity but also ends the album on a retrograde note, which conflicts with Kraftwerk’s (presumed) desire to re-establish itself as a group still vitally looking towards its future. | | | In essence, the group has adopted the smartest possible approach on Tour de France Soundtracks by simply making quintessential Kraftwerk music of a kind stylistically consistent with the music of its past but with subtle enhancements that suggest a connection to the present. |

| | Kraftwerk - our De France Soundtracks |
| | The single 'Tour De France 03' was released back in July to coincide with the centenary of the Tour de France bicycle race and was the title track on the tv broadcasts of the race. | | | As described by the BBC..." Professing their love of the fusion of humans and technology, Kraftwerk took the analogy to its furthest limit with 1983's "Tour De France." Here the melding of man and machine in a relentless, repetitive quest for speed seemed to perfectly mirror the sounds that the teutonic technologists had been forging. | | | Last Monday August the 18th was a historical day for electronic music fans, as Kraftwerks brand new album "Tour De France Soundtracks" was released. |

| | Electro masters ride again / Kraftwerk's latest evokes bike rhythms |
| | The new tracks on "Tour de France" don't really sound new, but they don't sound retro, either: Where retro music is hyper-conscious of time, this album exists outside of time, in a Kraftwerkian space where the pure, clean sound of machines hasn't changed after decades of technological and musical revolutions. | | | Now comes the conceptual "Tour de France Soundtracks," not so much a comeback album as a place marker, a reminder that founding members Florian Schneider and Ralf Hutter are still alive and well, working with their comrades in their refitted Kling Klang studios. | | | Entire genres of music have grown and withered since Kraftwerk's previous album of new material, and the Dusseldorf masters have little interest in trying to lead their flocks into a post-techno world. |

| | Reprising the album is a joyous remix of the 1983 Tour De France single - the masculine breathing and beats contrasting with that familiar atmospheric sound and ticker tape vocals. | | | Smooth as Vienna coffee, Tour De France Soundtracks epitomises the formulaic minimalist beats, catchy melodies and deadpan vocals Dusseldorf pioneers Kraftwerk are famous for. | | | The first four tracks - from Prologue to the third mix of the single, Tour De France Etape 3 - at best are liquifying journeys through the millennial Gallic landscape. |

| | Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks - almost cool music review |
| | The majority of the release is based around their original "Tour De France" track, but the group breathes a bit of new life into it yet on the three-part track that leads off the release. | | | When a group takes a hiatus from releasing music for as long as Kraftwerk did, I think its easy for listeners to shoot to one extreme or the other in terms of what they're expecting from the group in terms of new output. | | | In the time since Kraftwerk released their last album, electronic music in general has seemingly lapped itself every 5 years in terms of technologies and sounds. |

| | The album starts off with a prologue then 3 different new versions of Tour de France, a superb mixture of Trance and European techno, which sets the mood for the rest of the album with each song paying reference to another aspect of cycling. | | | Throughout the album you are drawn in to the whole sound and as ever Kraftwerk appear to have yet again mastered the art of making electronic music that causes an emotional response, true genius if you ask me. The use of a vocoder for all the vocals... | | | A hit song without an album, this was prized vinyl for many years (Warner Bros. 20146-0 A), until EMI smartly rereleased it on compact disc in 1999 with a little multimedia built in, whose centerpiece was a basic video for "Tour de France," assembled from old film footage of the aforementioned cross-country bicycle race. |

| | Elsewhere, the junkyard clatter-meets-space age of Vitamin is naggingly precise and compelling, and by the time you've heard the panting and whirring of the Tour de France remix, you're ready to put this album on a loop. | | | The technology is updated and the sound is crisp, fresh and a pleasure to engage with - I love the stereo bicycle-chain sounds in the rather spunky new mix of 1983's Tour de France - but we're talking about an album that, musically, could have come out 17 years ago. | | | It's not just because three of the tracks are variations on the theme, nor because the title track is 20 years old, but because much of this feels familiar. |

| | Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks : album review |
| | But when the album finishes on Tour De France, with a rhythm of cyclists exerting themselves over a wonderfully optimistic, sparkling synth backing, who cares. | | | Since appearing in the '70s with model doppelgangers and a collection of synths, they've been making clipped, clinical sounds to a wildly loyal fanbase and, despite not releasing an album for well over a decade, their fans show no sign of deserting them. | | | If a criticism was to be made, it would be that there's a great deal of the same voice effect throughout, save for some spoken vocals on the very last track, and it could do with more variation. |

| | Staying true to the same modus operandi that made them pioneers of mechanized dance music over 30 years ago, Kraftwerk manages to kraft an album so meticulous in form and structure, it is hard to believe the record is from a group just off of a 15-year hiatus. | | | Slated to have appeared on the never released Techno Pop album over 20 years ago, a reprise version of the original "Tour de France" marks Soundtrack's finish line - a fitting end to an album commemorating this year's Centennial edition of the Tour de France. | | | Employing old skool fundamentals, Kraftwerk offers an album that is sure to appease long time fans and weekend lovers of present day electronic music alike. |

| | And few other bands could get away with releasing a cycling concept album that features several variations on a single first released in 1983 (Tour De France) and a bunch of tracks called things like Aero Dynamik, Elektro Kardiogramm and Punkture Repair Kit. | | | The one disappointment is the lack of any truly memorable melodies - you expect more from the group that produced Neon Lights, Computer Love and The Model - but the musical textures alone make Tour De France Soundtracks worth getting your hands on. | | | Few other bands, for instance, could have got away with waiting 12 years between albums - the kind of work rate that makes the Stumpy Moose team look like the Future Business Leaders of America. |

| | "Tour De France Soundtracks" is as noted a soundtrack, not an album standing alone; while the subject matter, or the ostensible topic in which artistic content is cloaked, is the world-famous Tour De France bicycle race, the album itself is a soundtrack to a post-moral form of catharsis in the listener. | | | After something like a nineteen year absence, Kraftwerk - the engineer/artists who shaped the electronic music from educations in classical music theory and postwar German depression - have returned with an album that as always defies the first listen, leaving an enigmatic imprint and confusion as to its real motivation. | | | However, taken as a sequence, the three introduce the fundamental theme of the album: a soundtrack to human triumph in which positivity and negativity are blurred into a single focus, a creative urge and sensual appreciation of the process itself. |

| | Within the genre there were seldom noteworthy lyrics (or lyrics at all) to intellectualize, so that its central appeal was sensual -- the actual antithesis of Kraftwerk's man-machine music. | | | The title track, a decade old and inspiration for this full-length release, remains its most powerful, suggestive component. | | | It's an album that sets-out to transpose the annual 2,000-mile bicycle marathon to the world of music, although it unquestionably works best when surging towards artistic interpretation rather than attempted documentary. |

| | towleroad: Tour de France Soundtracks |
| | There's something strangely compelling about an album thematically conceived around one of the most athletic, strenuous, soul-searching events in sports, especially when it's been crafted by a group that began in the 70's and are widely considered pioneers in electronic music. | | | It's certainly not for everyone, though it may sneak up on you. | | | Kraftwerk's Tour de France Soundtracks has been rotating in the chill-out playlist of my iPod for almost a year, and now seems like the perfect time to bring it up. |

| | Kraftwerk : Tour de France Soundtracks - Kling Klang - Ralf Hütter |
| | Non conoscendone la data di uscita, potrebbe essere scambiato come un album della loro produzione anni '80, ma invece tiene perfettamente in considerazione tutta l’evoluzione della dance. | | | Non ci avevamo creduto finché non lo abbiamo avuto per le mani: un nuovo album dei Kraftwerk dopo 17 anni, periodo in cui sono usciti una raccolta di remix e due cd singoli, la colonna sonora dell'Esposizione Universale del 2000 (Expo 2000) e una nuova versione (guarda caso) proprio di Tour de France. | | | Ma soprattutto no perché Tour de France Soundtracks non ha l'impatto devastante ed immediatamente riconoscibile come innovativo degli altri album dei Kraftwerk (Electric Café escluso), ma "solo" la perfezione dei più incredibili manipolatori di suoni in circolazione. |
