<title><![CDATA[08/10/2009 :: Kraftwerk New Album For 2010...]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[With a boxed set of its primary catalog on the  way, Kraftwerk is eyeballing 2010 for the release  of its first new album since 2003's "Tour De France  Soundtracks."  Co-founder Ralf Hutter tells Billboard.com that with  the group's 2009 live shows -- including some featuring  3-D background graphics and several with Radiohead -- the  pioneering German electronic outfit has returned to its  Kling Klang multi-media facility in Dusseldorf. "There' s still time to go," Hutter reports, "but in the winter  it's pretty gray here, so it's a good situation to go  into the studio." As to what the album -- Kraftwerk's  first without co-founder Florian Schneider, who left  the group last November -- will sound like, Hutter  says "it's still very early. It's still in its  embryonic stage."  Hutter says he expects Kraftwerk to tour again once  the album is completed and released.  Until that time, fans will be able to tuck into "The  Catalogue," an eight-disc boxed set due out Nov. 17  that commemorates the 35th anniversary of Kraftwerk's  breakthrough hit "Autobahn" and contains all the  albums it released between 1974-2003. Each of the titles  has been remastered and come in "mini-vinyl" wallet  card packaging, with large-format booklets that replicate  the artwork of the original releases. Additionally,  1986's "Electric Cafe" has been returned to its  originally intended title, "Techno Pop."  Five of the titles, meanwhile -- "Autobahn," "Radio-Activity,"  "Trans Europe Express," "The Man Machine" and "Tour De  France Soundtracks" -- have just been released as individual  CDs. The other three albums are not currently licensed for  separate release in the U.S.  "It's a piece of work that just had to be done," Hutter says  of the catalog overhaul. "The quality (of previous CDs) wasn't  always as it should have been...especially the artwork was  just cut down from the LP format or scanned down, especially  in America. Now we found the time to finish it, and we're  very happy. You have everything from Kraftwerk in high  (quality) formats."  Hutter says he also plans to upgrade the three Kraftwerk  albums that preceded "Autobahn," though he won't predict  a timetable for those. "When I find the time and go  through the archives again, we'll do those also in a  new format," he promises. "But my perspective now is  forward for the next album."

<description><![CDATA[FOUR DECADES OF MASTERWORKS 12345678 THE CATALOGUE  CD, CD BOX SET, VINYL & DOWNLOAD  Mute: 5th OCTOBER 2009  KRAFTWERK: Electro Pioneers, living legends and globally  revered masters of electronic sound, celebrate the 35th  anniversary of their landmark 1974 hit ‘Autobahn’ by  releasing digitally remastered versions of eight astounding  albums on 5th October 2009. Rolling back musical barriers  with every forward-thinking phase of their career, Dusseldorf's  Zen masters of electronic minimalism laid the foundations for four decades of computerised pop and dance music. By  chain reaction and mutation, they have influenced generations  of artists in all genres, mapping musical futures yet to  come. From Bowie to Daft Punk, Aphex Twin to Portishead, Dr  Dre to LCD Soundsystem, and almost everyone in between, the  mark of Kraftwerk is endless, endless.  In 2009 Kraftwerk have upgraded their Kling Klang masters  with the latest studio technology and these eight magnificent  recordings still sound like nothing else in the history of  music. Kraftwerk are unique, pristine, profound and  beautiful. Decades may pass, but their streamlined  synthetic symphonies stand outside time, as fresh as  tomorrow, transcendent and sublime.   12345678 The Catalogue will be released across the  following formats:  . 8 x individual CDs presented in special slipcases  featuring newly expanded artwork, including many previously  unseen images all of which have been reproduced to the  highest technical standards.  . CD Box Set containing 8 x CDs in ‘mini-vinyl’ card  wallet packaging, plus individual large format booklets.  . 8 x individual heavyweight vinyl LPs with large format  booklets.  . Digital downloads.  After their recent jaw dropping 3-D show at the Manchester  Velodrome, Kraftwerk’s next UK live appearance will be as  headliners for Bestival on 12th September.  12345678 THE CATALOGUE  AUTOBAHN (1974)  With its iconic Emil Schult sleeve, Kraftwerk release their international breakthrough album. The symphonic title  track, an epic ode to the joys of motorway travel, wraps  a mesmerising motorik rhythm around a sampled collage of  car horns, engine noise, whirring tyres and radio  crackle. In edited form, it becomes a revolutionary hit single around the world.  Elsewhere, in wordless industrial folk music, the band  reveal both their light and dark sides – ‘Mitternacht’ is all creeping midnight shadows, while  ‘Morgenspaziergang’ is fresh with morning dew and  birdsong. Two versions of ‘Kometenmelodie’, one a  starkly gothic prowl, the other a sunny electro  boogie, provide further instrumental sound  paintings. Pure and strong and bold, Kraftwerk  compose cinema for the ears. The pop world falls  in love with them.  RADIO-ACTIVITY (1975)  Kraftwerk embrace the atomic age with mixed  emotions. Surfing on sine waves, scanning the  stratosphere for stray radio signals, they plug themselves into a buzzing grid of energy and  communication. From the stately eco-angst  anthem ‘Radioactivity’ to the synthetic Gregorian chants of ‘Radio Stars’ and the melancholy machine  processional of ‘Ohm Sweet Ohm’, a sombre but  engrossing monumentalism dominates.   With heavily processed vocals in both German and  English, Kraftwerk go global with depth and  majesty. If factories and power stations are the new cathedrals, they write liturgies for a new  industrial epoch.  TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS (1977)  Kraftwerk celebrate Europe's romantic past and  shimmering future with a glistening panorama of  elegance and decadence, travel and technology. The  infinite vistas of ‘Europe Endless’ and ‘Endless Endless’ bookend the album, which includes the  unsettling Kafka-esque fable ‘The Hall Of  Mirrors’ and the hilarious ‘Showroom Dummies’ - Kraftwerk's elegantly ironic reply to  critiques of their deadpan manner.  But it is the streamlined rhythmic locomotive of  ‘Trans Europe Express’ which dominates with  its doppler-effect melodic swerves and hypnotic,  pneumatic, piston-pumping rhythm. Along with  its sister track, ‘Metal On Metal’ which New  York DJ Afrika Bambaataa would re-construct  five years later for his own seminal ‘Planet Rock’,  this milestone in avant-pop modernism later  becomes a crucial influence on the early pioneers  of hip-hop & sampling, electro and industrial  music. Poetry in motion.  THE MAN MACHINE (1978)  A bold new look, sound and concept for Kraftwerk. Over  supple processed rhythms which predate the rise of  European techno and trance, they address automation  and alienation, space travel and engineering, the  seductive allure of urban landscapes and the vacant glamour of celebrity. Clipped and funky, ‘The Robots’  adds another dimension to Kraftwerk's ultra-dry sense  of humour. Behind its intoxicating melodic pulse, ‘The Model’ is a highly prophetic satire on the  beauty industry, so ahead of its time that it only  becomes a UK chart-topper by accident three years  later. And ‘Neon Lights’ is Kraftwerk's most  achingly romantic song to date, a sci-fi lullaby  for cities at twilight. Pure magic.  COMPUTER WORLD (1981)  Kraftwerk beam themselves into the future by  writing about home computers, online dating and  globalised electronic surveillance years before  these phenomena truly come into being. A journey  into the bright hopes and dark fears of the  booming microchip revolution, ‘Computer World’  is a serenely beautiful and almost seamless  collage of sensual melodies and liquid  beatscapes. Tracks like ‘Numbers’ and ‘Pocket  Calculator’, with their weightless bleeps and  elastic beats, predict the silky rhythms of  Chicago house and inspire a generation of Detroit techno artists. Kraftwerk's fanfare  for the silicon age still sounds ageless,  timeless and throbbing with invention.  TECHNO POP (1986)  Kraftwerk return from five years of silence  to reclaim their throne as leaders of a  machine-pop revolution that they themselves  began over a decade before. Their ‘Techno Pop’  album, first released under the name ‘Electric  Café’ but now restored to its originally  intended title, provides a 360-degree  overview of a multi-lingual, multi-channel, musically diverse global village.  From the block-rocking beats of ‘Boing Boom Tschack’ to the electronic funk and computer  animation of ‘Musique Non Stop’, Kraftwerk  soar into the digital age. Their first  excursion into digital recording finds both beauty and unease in a polyglot world  of permanent media overload. Once again,  Dusseldorf’s test pilots of the musical  future effortlessly break new ground.  THE MIX (1991)  Kraftwerk's first fully digital album  confirmed their clubland credentials and  reworked 11 of their best-loved tunes for  a new generation. Painstakingly reconstructed  and sequenced in the band's Kling Klang studio,  new versions of tracks like ‘The Robots’, ‘Trans Europe Express’ and ‘Home Computer’ now feature  more funky rhythms and cleaned-up, liquid-crystal  sounds. A stark warning about pollution at  Sellafield is added to the glistening overhaul  of ‘Radioactivity’, sparking a war of words  with British Nuclear Fuels. But most of all, ‘The Mix’ is a career-spanning collection of legendary electro anthems and a classy  acknowledgment of the two-way traffic between  Kraftwerk and club culture.  TOUR DE FRANCE (2003)  The year 2003 marked the centenary of the Tour  de France, the conceptual starting line for  Kraftwerk's first album for over a decade. Although  it features an immaculate new version of a 20-year- old former single, the exquisitely graceful ‘Tour  de France’, pop nostalgia is not on the menu. From  the chunky cyber-funk of ‘Vitamin’ to the restless  metallic shimmers of ’Aéro Dynamik’, this is emphatically the sound of 21st century techno  visionaries.
