Robotronik: Kraftwerk Collect Remixes for New CD, Vinyl Set

March 2, 2022 By The Second Disc Leave a Comment

Kraftwerk Remixes

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.COM

Over a career spanning 50 years, Kraftwerk have influenced artists from David Bowie to Depeche Mode.  The pioneers of electronic music and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers have long been at the vanguard of innovation in music, and continue to perform and tour today.  Hip-hop/electro progenitors Afrika Bambaataa and The Soul Sonic Force incorporated the German band's music into their 1982 hit "Planet Rock," beginning a long relationship between Kraftwerk and club/DJ culture.  Late in 2020, Kraftwerk issued a digital-only collection known as Remixes.  On March 25, Parlophone will bring that album to CD and vinyl.

Remixes features 19 tracks remixed by the band itself as well as François Kevorkian, William Orbit, Étienne de Crécy, Orbital, Underground Resistance, DJ Rolando, and Hot Chip. These remixes were originally released on various 12" singles, CD singles, and digital releases over the past twenty years.  The album additionally showcases Kraftwerk's latest Kling Klang Studio creations: "Non Stop" and remixes of "Home Computer" and "Tour De France (Etape 2)." The genesis of "Non Stop" was a soundbite recorded for MTV in the 1980s; in 2020, Kraftwerk took the original 30-second clip and expanded into its current eight-minute form.

The press release notes that while "all the featured remixes are available on streaming services, physical copies have long been out of print, so this triple vinyl and double CD release is a welcome addition to the Kraftwerk catalogue and particularly a must-have for electro DJs."

Later this year, Kraftwerk (currently consisting of founding member Ralf Hütter, Fritz Hilpert, Henning Schmitz, and Falk Grieffenhagen) will embark on a 24-date North American tour.  In August, they will co-headline All Points East in London with The Chemical Brothers.  Back home in Dusseldorf, an exhibition entitled Electro - From Kraftwerk To Techno is currently welcoming visitors until May 22.  The exhibition was first staged in London but its current presentation incorporates new images and graphic designs.

Look for Kraftwerk's Remixes in 2-CD and 3-LP iterations on March 25 from Parlophone.  You'll find the complete track listing along with pre-order links below.
