Karl Bartos is well-known as one-quarter of the \"classic\" Kraftwerk line-up. Many of their most influential rhythms and memorable melodies were actually conceived in his home studio. They would later be used on an unstoppable succession of hits from the DÃ¼sseldorf band as they ascended to the lofty heights of popular music culture. As a major contributor to \"The Man-Machine\" (1978) and \"Computer World\" (1981) Bartos has had a decisive influence on Kraftwerk's music. Rolling Stone author Mike Rubin says of this years: \"there's something timeless and universal about their songwriting of this period.\" Karl Bartos' new album is an audio-visual sensation! Lost for many years, some of his early music has been reconceived and re-contextualized in a thrilling modern setting. Here's the story: during Kraftwerk's heyday Karl Bartos wrote - off the record - a secret acoustic diary. Based on his musical jottings - rhythms, riffs, hooks, sounds, chords and melodies - this is what he has come up with today: twelve brand new, exciting, timeless songs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BARTOS, KARL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46065468801269,"sku":"4047179742818","price":26.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/9325\/5669\/files\/4047179742818.jpg?v=1731305635","url":"https:\/\/thevinylvista.com\/products\/4047179742818","provider":"Vinyl Vista","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
