As well as rush releasing it, Kraftwerk are said to be changing the name of their up coming EMI album from ‘Tour de France 03’ to ‘Tour de France Soundtracks’. The release has been rushed in a bid to launch the album during the French bicycle race by the same name – due 21 Jul. But it’s an ambitious turn round.

The new Kraftwerk single ‘Tour de France 2003’ was released yesterday.
