Kraftwerk – Tour De France Soundtracks

Have this pressing. It is excellent. You cannot go wrong on any electronic music release when Noel Summerville cut the lacquer. His work on the Whitehouse and Ramleh reissues for Dirter and other labels made me a huge fan.

My copy (Matrix EMI UDEN 5917082 @ 2 020202-NL) has a very faint click at approx. 0:10 on Track 1. Does anyone here have a copy without the glitch? I thought the glitch came from the copy protection on the copy protected CD, which is why I bought this one.

Fantastic pressing & excellent packing a really nice incredible modern release of a truly Great album.
Outstanding music via electronic instruments the way the low-end(bass) drives these tracks is AMAZING!

My discs are flat noise free(after a wet clean)and well centered on the platter spindle.
The large included book is a nice touch swapped in anti static inners inside the card inner sleeves.

You won`t go far wrong with this pressing whether you`re a fan or not you`ll be hard pushed not to appreciate
how good this truly is,Five stars highly recommended.

My copy is unfortunately very noisy. The music is great of course.

Awesome sound and free from any noise. Highly recommend for anyone who is into this sort of genre

This is a good pressing. I bought this lp for the etape 1 / 2 / 3 . It has the tech house remix version which i can use for my mixing . The original tour de france is on the d side. Sound quality is great. Its a early 2000's pressing so i presume most of the production is digital . Still a great album concept for kraftwerk .

An OK pressing. Definitely not a 5-star. The vinyl looks great, and that's about it.

Ok, as a diehard Kraftwerk fan from the late 1970's I don't know how you could not enjoy this album. I found it fun and takes the listener on the "Tour De France" with the race itself and the riders preparation for race day. I don't know the quality of others sound system but having built my own speakers (four, four way speakers with 30 inch woofer's) and Thorens 1975 TD 160 tt and tube hybrid amp I crank this up as loud as possible and get no distortion, clear high tones and wonderful mids with chest banging bass tones and will listen to this time and time again. I had originally purchased the later 2009 RM and later realized that this copy is a CD to vinyl remix. I purchased this original version and could not believe the 3D realism and up front projection of sound. The title track at the end of the album came across so clear I could feel the ball bearings in rear tire hub spinning as the rider coast along. That's my opinion hope you enjoy this album as much as I do.

The plant pressing these Kraftwerk reissues takes pride in their work! Every one I have is excellent. Quiet and clean. They do justice to these works of art.

One of the Best Kraftwerk Albums With good concept .
