  Karl Bartos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Bartos was born on 31 May 1952 in Berchtesgaden, Germany.
Between 1975 and 1991 Bartos, along with Wolfgang Flür, was an electronic percussionist in the Electronic music quartet known as Kraftwerk.
In between the two albums, Bartos collaborated with Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr on Electronic's 1996 album Raise the Pressure, and co-wrote material with Andy McCluskey which appeared on both Esperanto and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's Universal album.

 FLUXEUROPA: Bartos, Karl - ULU, London, 22 October 2003
Karl Bartos took the stage to rapturous applause and proceeded to play the rest of the song which now became obvious to me: it was 'Numbers'.

 KARL BARTOS - Communication - The Final Word
But Karl Bartos was as much a member of Kraftwerk as they were : co-writer of every song on 1981's classic "Computer World", vocalist, and programmer / producer, he was an integral part of Kraftwerk as anyone else.
Problem is, Karl Bartos has a fetish for using the best bit of kit he ever invented when he was in Kraftwerk, and he uses it a lot.
Instead of the neutral, clean vocals that Bartos leant to such classics as "Telephone Call", and the overlooked "Television" from his 1993 debut "Esperanto", every lead vocal on the album (or near enough every one) is performed by a Speak And Spell machine.

 Karl Bartos: Communication - Release Music Magazine review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
When most of us were more or less disappointed with Kraftwerk's rather uninspired comeback, along comes Bartos with his talking computers to save the day.
Rumour has it, that Ralf and Florian re-recorded the vocals for "Telephone Call" (originally sung by Bartos), because they wanted a more robotic, mechanic feel in the vocal approach.
What Bartos is excellent at, and what saves the album from being a retro trifle, is his stunning ability to squeeze out synthetic warmth from his machines.

Originally a classically trained percussionist and keyboard player, Karl Bartos was a key member of the pioneering German electronic group Kraftwerk, famed for groundbreaking albums such as Man Machine, Trans Europe Express and Computer World.
Mixing new material with Kraftwerk classics and wittily illustrated on-screen by Cologne VJ artist Karsten Binar, the Bartos live show, with its themes of communication, celebrity and technology, brought classic Teutonic techno-pop with a visual twist to Optronica's second night at the bfi London IMAX Cinema.

Karl has, over the last 10 years, been able to express his individual musical talent through solo and coproduced albums, rather than have his skillful, clever and slightly cynical musica creations placed over the tall-standing umbrella of Kraftwerk.
I wont compare Karl's music to Kraftwerk as much as many people do, but you can certainly feel the underlying precision and simple but catchy tunes that tends to be very valuable to the structure of Kraftwerk's music.
And if you enjoy this album, make sure you take a look at Karl's earlier effort, Esperanto (under the title of Elektric Music) as these two albums are quite similar in style, although i feel that Communication has a better level of refinment and focus.
