KRAFTWERK 2000
Kraftwerk: Kling er Klang
KRAFTWERK release their first new single this decade ('Tour De France',
released
earlier this year, was a new mix of an old song) in December, though according
to a spokesman it will not be released in the UK.
'Expo 2000' will be released by Kling Klang/EMI in Germany; it was written as
the official theme to next year's Expo 2000 in Hanover from June until October
and the initial release has three Kraftwerk mixes (Kling Klang Mix 2000, Kling
Klang Mix 2001, Kling Klang Mix 2002) and a radio edit. It will be packaged
in a
3D sleeve and selected import shops and online services are already taking
advance orders for the single.
Whether this heralds a new burst of activity for Kraftwerk whose last
appearance
in the UK was at Tribal Gathering in 1997, remains to be seen. They haven't
made
an album since 1986's 'Electric Cafe' despite their enormous influence on all
electronic music - from Chicago House and Detroit Techno to contemporary
trance
- that has come since.
