Seminal electronic/rock act Kraftwerk is set to release a new single and
album to coincide with the centennial version of the Tour de France bicycle
race, which begins July 5. Astralwerks/EMI will release the single "Tour De
France 03" July 8, with the album "Tour De France" due to follow on July 22.

The German group is working on the final mix of the new album at its own
Kling Klang studios in Dusseldorf, according to a statement. The album will
be the band's first all-new full-length since 1986's "Electric Cafe"
(Elektra), and only its second in more than 20 years.  The group's most
recent release was the 1999 single "Expo 2000," inspired by the German
Exposition of that year. Kraftwerk has also made music for the Tour de
France
before -- an EP of that name was released on vinyl in 1983, featuring the
title track and three others.  -- www.billboard.com
