digital remastered heavyweight double vinyl. 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 'aro dynamik', this is emphatically the sound of 21st century techno visionaries.
