Tour de France Soundtracks is the tenth studio album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk, released in August 2003. It was re-released in October 2009 under the title Tour de France. The album was recorded for the 100th anniversary of the first Tour de France bicycle race, although it missed its intended release date for the actual tour. It includes a new recording of their 1983 single of the same name, the cover artwork of both releases being nearly identical.

Tour de France Soundtracks is the tenth studio album by German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. It was released on August 4, 2003 after much anticipation, becoming their first release since 1986’s Electric Café. The album’s recording process took around 16 years. The title track was initially released way back in June of 1983 and was originally intended to be part of the band’s scrapped Techno Pop album concept. However, for its inclusion on Tour de France Soundtracks, a completely new recording of the track featuring a new arrangement was made. Inspiration for the album came from the Tour.

Tour de France Soundtracks (re-released in 2009 as Tour de France) is the tenth studio album by Kraftwerk, released in August 2003. themed around the annual French Tour de France bicycle race, and bicycling in general. It includes a new recording of their 1983 single of the same name, the cover artwork of both releases being nearly identical

From the time Hutter and Schneider hooked up in Düsseldorf in the late 60s to their heyday of the late 70s/early 80s and on through their complete catalog reworking (1991's The Mix), Kraftwerk have been a model of efficiently planned obsolescence

Tour De France - Lots of raspy heavy breathing that isn't really pleasant to listen to, but then is gives way to whimsical, happy melodies, and non-distorted vocals about Tour De France. Much more pleasant and reasonable to listen to once the breathing part at the beginning is over.

Kraftwerk's first new album in 17 years shows again that nobody does electronic conceptual perfection like the Teutonic pioneers. Where Autobahn eulogised motoring and Computer World romanticised the then-imminent digital era, these cycling-themed tracks are created with an almost breathtaking attention to detail: whirring chains, beating hearts and sounds of panting. Four tracks are based on 1983's classic Tour de France, but are barely recognisable. The completely new material, meanwhile, will set pulses racing.
