Karl Bartos - Communication FLAC download

Help! Labels on 7" Life, both sides, are wrong. They are the same of "15 minutes of fame (2016)" while the songs are correct. Someone got the same issue?

I wrote to the label (2 years ago about) and they replaced the 7" with a signed right one.

I have the opposite situation: the 7" vinyls are the correct audio but both have the labels for Life.

Really great album, I have the remaster with bonus tracks Camera Obscura, Interview and Ultraviolet.

It´s one of my favorite records of all time, with timeless melodies and harmonical creations. I'm happy to have the vinyl release in my collection, personally signed from Karl Bartos!

While I think the Esperanto was one of the best electro-pop album ever, this one is a real disappointment: There are couple of great songs and tunes there but all were made in a very amatheur way. Mixing is below the average, each sonic timbres are very ordinary and not well developed, rough. Very-very tasteless, mindless forcing of the once graceful speech synthesis and almost no vocoder at all. All is very much out of balance already. Became a bit tasteless. There's no any developement, nor any new synhetical progress but very well adopted "riffs" and solutions. Many will disagree, I know but the electro essence of all has been shadowed by the so many reminders of Kraftwerk tunes he has been using during the entire lenght, that many of the sounds are very much like weak counterfeit of the Kraftwerk tunes. I'm sorry to say it all. Take the Esperanto! That has some excesses in sampler usage but it has much better soundquality, brilliant mixing and very great songs (apart from the sound of McCluskey and from some tasteless sampler-shouts), not mentioning the sonic timbres which are superb, unlike here. What you hear is like taking a few ordinary analog synths and some Moog-replicas and that's it almost without any procession. Rough sketches. I see it all from inwards and would have made it MUCH better, sorry! Bartos has run out of time. I'm really sorry! He is one of my heroes, a living legend, a versatile, thoughtful and meaningful composer. Maybe not anymore?.....

What an truly amazing masterpiece. Being a longterm fan of Kraftwerk this soothes my soul and warms up my mind. Communication sounds more Kraftwerk than they do today by themself. It is obvious that Karl Bartos acted important role in Kraftwerk in the late 70's and 80's. This album is a timetravel to the music of those decades but with modern attachments. All the melodies sound so familiar, but they only represent the man himself. If you can get this, don't miss your chance.

After a quite disappointing start with Elektric Music Mr. Bartos is back in a greater shape then ever. Presenting everything his ex-colleagues at Kling Klang are refusing us to give. It`s all here. Enchanting melodies, glamour and somehow embarrassing (but charming) lyrics in vocoder style. Everything we always loved Kraftwerk for. "Communication" is surely not a great show, but an ambitious update of Techno Pop at his best.
