LP - BARTOS, KARL - COMMUNICATION 2024 Repress

"Communication", the first real solo album by ex-Kraftwerker Karl
Bartos, was released in 2003, 13 years after Bartos left the
Düsseldorf electronic band. In 2016, another 13 years later, the
album was re-released, completely remastered and with the bonus
track "Camera Obscura". However, "Communication" is not just a
re-release. It is the reload of a pop classic that is more topical
today than ever. "'Communication' is about how images determine
our view of the world and how electronic media are changing the
content of our culture," said Bartos on the occasion of its release in
2003. In 2016, this topic has lost none of its urgency and
truthfulness. Quite the opposite. Today, the media world that the
album describes has become so commonplace that its impact is
no longer recognised. Exciting: Although it was released ten years
earlier, "Communication" seamlessly follows on energetically from
Bartos' celebrated last album "Off The Record" (2013).
