Kraftwerk's Karl Bartos new LP Off The Record

Karl Bartos, ex-member of electro-pioneers Kraftwerk (part of Kraftwerk's classic lineup) has announced the follow up to his 2003 album Communication. Bartos' new album Off The Record features 12 tracks that were taken from song ideas he wrote during Kraftwerk's heyday (he kept a secret acoustic diary and jotted down ideas while on the road).  The album drops March 15th, but you can enjoy a first taste of music from Off The Record - listen to a sample of the album's first track "Atomium" below:
