Etape 2 is the most emotionnal track of the album. Never a song could have made a bound so beautiful between the history yet the modernity of this tremendous international race. Maybe im saying this because Im French and le Tour de France is something linking all generations and regions in our country. Tour de France is a nervous system
I'll go as far as to say it's the best song, period. Perfectly balanced, it still feels futuristic after almost 40 years, a timeless gem that embodies such complex concepts such as the sensations, images, logistics and technology of a sporting event like tour de France
I will never stop coming back to this video, I was lucky enough to see them perform live this year and I can say that to hear this song being played was one of the best experiences of my life
I recently read an interview that stated Kraftwerk’s long-term dream was to create a 'Gesamtkunstwerk' - a complete work of art. They achieved that here in a big way.
This is the best piece of music produced since the year 2000 in my opinion. It's ironic that it's already 17 years old and produced by a band that started in the 1970s.
I wish I could see the world like in this video... The visuals and the song mix together perfectly, I feel like I've gone back in time to the early 2000's, like 2005 or 2006, when I was younger and things were simpler, when all that mattered were simple things that sparked powerful emotions, this is hands down one of the greatest modern masterpieces of electronic music ♥️
The spirit of this song and video is late 1970s / early 1980s. That's what I like about it. It reminds me of The Man Machine and Computer World from that time.
Tour De France kraftwerk. Diversi anni fa ho fatto un tour en france, veramente fu un tour in europa, in treno, pullman, camion, auto, moto, scooter, motorcycle, non in bicicletta...
I know I said it already, but I will never stop coming back to this video, I know it's wrong to compare different Étape 2 versions with each other, but this one is probably the best out of all, the Étape 2 to rule them all, the epitomy of all Étape 2s. Perfection distilled into a song and a video

that pad sound has to be the greatest pad sound ever (and the lead rocks too)

Zadig The Jasp I love those cold icy synths! 😁
@@patricklauer4452 Not quite as icy cold as the synths on The Man Machine from 1978 but not far off.
Perfect comment. I've always felt that myself. Also the most pop/mainstream with the vocals

I'm so jealous!
I love how the hihat sounds like a bicycle chain... love it.

I am obsessed with this song and the visuals. It puts me in a trance and I keep listening to it everyday
love how long they sustain those chords at the beginning of etape 2 live!
Fortunately I had an uncle who was cyclist.
Mexico old route. For those who remember
It is one more reason to enjoy this song. Beautiful!!!
I listen to etape one and two while biking and they make me feel like im in the peloton
Undoubtedly the best thing written since the year 2000 in my opinion.
"written since the year 2000" ? lol...
@@knutlondon8243 What do you mean?
This song is so fresh and nostalgic, it reminds me when I play gran turismo games on ps1 and ps2
Funny enough, this track is present in WipeOut 2048, a futuristic racing game for PS Vita as the main theme of all the OST.
As someone who grew up with Gran Turismo on the PS3 I can also relate.
coolest riff ever
I would like to think FLORIAN knew what a contribution he made to modern music.
This is more than music; it‘s performative art
