De heren Hütter en Schneider gaan even keurig gekapt en gekleed door het leven, maar het is vooral de status die ze in de jaren '70 verworven hebben, die bij hun fans een religieuze adoratie te weeg brengt en bij de critici een hardnekkige scepsis.

 Tour De France Soundtracks - Kraftwerk, Music Downloads - Online
Tour de France Soundtracks, the group's first record in more than 15 years, is quintessentially Kraftwerk but still fits in well with contemporary dance trends like the experimental microhouse scene (highly influenced by the group's ultra-minimalism).
Techno-Pop, the album Kraftwerk scheduled to accompany "Tour de France," was postponed and later canceled (ironically, after a serious biking accident by Ralf Hütter, one of the group's resident biking maniacs).

 Splendid Magazine reviews Kraftwerk: Tour de France Soundtracks
Tour De France Soundtracks is a mighty return for the Germans.
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.

 KindaMuzik - Albumrecensie: Kraftwerk - Tour de France Soundtracks
De fiets als droommachine die wakende dromen genereert van licht en snelheid, de versmelting van het individu in het haast homo-erotisch peloton en daar voorbij de eeuwigheid van de weg die een blik gunt op de horizon van het menszijn.
Ondanks de nodige scepsis is de eerste luisterbeurt een emotionele, een opluchting vertaalt naar kippenvel en/of vochtige ogen bij het horen van bepaalde onmiskenbare Kraftwerk melodieën en geluiden.
De tijd heeft echter niet stil gestaan in de Kling Klang-studio en Kraftwerk permitteert zich zowaar om voorzichtig invloeden van buitenaf toe te laten.

 Tour De France Soundtracks by Kraftwerk   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
With Kraftwerk now rumoured to be far more fascinated by bicycles than keyboards, it's perhaps not surprising that Tour De France Soundtracks is the group's first album for 12 years.
Continuing to explore the theme of movement, men and machines that spawned the marvellous Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express and 1983's landmark single "Tour De France", Soundtracks is basically an expanded version of the latter, right down to the cover art.
The sound of groundbreakers building bridges, Tour De France Soundtracks may not prove as hugely influential as Kraftwerk's early music, but it is nevertheless a winning return.

På disse kuttene sitter skruene og mutterne akkurat hvor de skal, nær perfekt programmert rytmikk i kombinasjon med bandets unike tekstminimalisme og øre for den naive melodi.
"Tour De France Soundtracks" kan på et vis regnes som det tredje av Kraftwerk`s konseptalbum om mobilitet, hvorav "Autobahn" (74) og "Trans Europe Express (77)" var de to første.
De albumene klarte på uforlignelig vis å fange inn følelsen av å være underveis og av å betrakte landskapet utenfor, mens de denne gang ikke lykkes med å konstruere den samme stemningen.

Tour de France Soundtracks, their first album in 12 years, takes from modern techno of the last decade as techno took from them previously, and the result is a slightly more spacious, sterile and club-ready offering, though nowhere as imaginative as one might have expected from these former innovators.
The chilled, occasionally septic and unexpectedly stand-off-ish Tour de France is ultimately not nearly as much fun, fun, fun on the autobahn.
But "Tour de France Soundtrack" has a sound that is not as innovative as I would have expected.

 Kraftwerk: Tour de France Soundtracks (2003): Reviews
No, it's not actually a soundtrack, but it is--shockingly enough--the legendary German electronic band's first new studio recording since 1986's 'Electric Cafe.' While the title track "Tour De France" was released as a single in 1983 (and is found here in four new versions), the remaining 8 tracks are brand new compositions.
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.
Tour de France Soundtracks is a successful record on anyone's terms; it's one that fans won't need to cringe from, and one that newcomers will be able to enjoy for what it is.

 Kraftwerk (Tour de France Soundtracks) mxdwn.com review by Ben De Leon
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.
Tour de France Soundtracks, Kraftwerk's latest on electro giant Astralwerks, beautifully embodies the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" cliché.
Formulaically, Soundtracks preserves the elements that made Kraftwerk legendary during the 70's (drum machine, synthesizer, vocoder, etc.).

 Kraftwerk - Tour De France Soundtracks - Review
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.
Instead of trying to update their overall sound for the new age and try to keep in step with the youngsters, it seems that Kraftwerk is simply doing what they did in the past with a slightly updated sound.
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.

 Kraftwerk, Tour de France Soundtracks - smh.com.au
Tour de France Etape 2 has a rolling rhythm that is more Nevada highway than Autobahn (think sun, drive and openness), while Etape 3 repositions the song in a brightly flashing nightclub.
The nightclub is the natural home of both the compulsively danceable Aero Dynamik (hail the return of the vocoder, boys and girls) and the electro jerk of Elektro Kardiogramm, which may well spawn a new breed of Human League types.
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 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.
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.
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...
