A classically trained percussionist and keyboard player, Bartos was a key member of Kraftwerk's classic line-up between 1975 and 1990, co-writing such masterpieces as The Model, The Robots, Numbers, and Pocket Calculator. Communication is full of melody-driven numbers that operate in a dual universe of pop and electronica. Lead single Life is perhaps the most perfect representation of this; it's lyrics speak volumes, while it's breezy, harmonious, infectious structure almost seems to pay return tribute to New Order, a group that greatly admired Bartos's work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Life (Album - Version) \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Ultraviolet (Album - Version)\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Karl Bartos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32291291037767,"sku":"29947270","price":9.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3179919.jpg?v=1747401004","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/karl-bartos-life-2016","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
