I see the coloured vinyl is still available from their official site at 75 euros. I really thought that that would sell out straight away, which makes me now wonder how limited it is
KlingKlang shop purchases outside of EC still get charged VAT. I hope the German taxman comes after Hutter. The goof also puts only his face on the cover “robots”. Ego is a hell of a drug.
In spite of the (typical) minimal tracklist notes, there's more to these reissues than immediately meets the eye, though how much exactly this matters is up to you:
Non Stop - new song (never physically released) Home Computer 2021 - new spliced up edit (never released on 12'') Radioactivity (William Orbit Hardcore Remix - Kling Klang Edit) - new shortened edit Etape 2 - non-album mix with additional bassline (think the 3D version) and new mixing (never physically released) Aero Dynamik (Kling Klang Dynamix) - new mix with additional percussion (never physically released) La Forme (King Of The Mountains Mix By Hot Chip) - new shortened edit - VINYL ONLY (never physically released)
A nice compilation - but it could have been greatly improved with a fourth LP of additional (and much rarer) mixes - I wish they had included
- Man Machine - Myspace edit (youtube it) - Elektro Kardiogramm (radio edit) would have slotted in here perfectly - Tour De France (Francois K Edit) - Telephone call 12'' remixes - Computer Welt 12'' special mix
I see why they aren't here, because they wanted to go for something a bit more 90's/techno than pre-1991 kraftwerk with this, but it's still a nice release - and the lime green vinyl is gorgeous.
