Expo 2000 (song)

Expo 2000 (song)

"Expo 2000" is a song by Kraftwerk. It was originally an a cappella jingle commissioned for the Hannover Expo 2000 convention in Germany, which was subsequently developed into longer pieces with music and additional lyrics.

The Expo 2000 single was released on CD and twelve-inch vinyl in December 1999 by EMI in Germany and in January 2000 elsewhere in Europe. It reached #27 in the UK singles chart in March 2000.

It was the group's first commercial recording of new, original music since the release of the 1986 album Electric Café.

In November 2000, a collection of remixes was released, fittingly titled Expo Remix, featuring contributions from various producers, including long-term collaborator François Kevorkian, Orbital, and members of the Detroit techno collective Underground Resistance.

Both releases were combined and issued on one CD by Astralwerks Records in the US and Canada in October 2001.
