Communication released in 2003, is the first solo album of German electronic musician Karl Bartos.
According to Karl Bartos, the album is a concept album about electronic media:
Release Some editions of the CD come in a special Burgopak-Case, which is unusual in that the CD tray and booklet both emerge sliding out from opposite sides of the case and must be opened together.
The limited edition was issued as CD Extra and contains the video clip for "I'm the Message" as well as a download link for two remixes of the song by Felix Da Housecat and Orbital.
The album was re-released on March 25, 2016, on CD and Vinyl, including remastered tracks and the bonus song "Camera Obscura".
Reception
Sean Carruthers of AllMusic likened Communication to the mid-1980s electro-pop of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and the Pet Shop Boys, adding that "It would be easy to dismiss the album if it weren't so catchy: no matter how cheeseball and dated a lot of the material here sounds, it sticks in your head."
