Karl Bartos sang lead vocals on Der Telefon Anruf ("The Telephone Call")
This can be easily checked by:
(a) LISTENING to it (his different vocal sound is quite obvious in comparison with Ralf or Florian)
(b) reading books such as "Ich war ein Roboter" by Wolfgang Flür, or Pascal Bussy's Kraftwerk book.
---
This could also be verified by listening to Karl Bartos's own album Communication, in which he sings on some tracks. It is clearly the same voice that sings The Telephone Call. -#371

message: Please look at the tracklist. It is IDENTICAL. With the original information text left in, this would just look fine to me. Any objections? -andy 80.129.112.246 14:13, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Why didn't you merge? All three track listings are identical. I have merged them. If you object, please state reasons (don't just revert).--Iacobus 02:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks OK, as the footnote explains enough about the difference between English & Spanish versions. Ricadus 16:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge English & Spanish release's tracklists?

message: Concerning the section on the 2009 re-issue version of the album only, should this list dispense with Side One/Side Two subheadings to acknowledge that vinyl is now no longer the primary format for supplying recordings to the market? The wikipedia articles for other albums issued during the 'digital' era don't use them (The Mix, Tour de France Soundtracks) yet these albums were also issued in vinyl form.

message: The cover art doesn't display an acute "é" on "Cafe", but for some reason the article does? For the sake accuracy, the accent should be omitted. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:17, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's just one of those typographic conventions - a lot of fonts don't have accents on capital letters. But wikipedia articles don't reproduce the typography of album artwork, they just use the actual name. There's no such word as "cafe", it's "café" - however it's printed as CAFE on the album cover. Likewise the bandname does not appear in the article in blcok capitals. --feline1 (talk) 22:30, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Four years later, and nobody else has contested this or even commented. Unless WP's technical trickery kicks in, I'm moving this article myself—right now. A typographic convention ("Café" → "Cafe" for accuracy) is not the same as going against WP:MOS by verbatim reproducing case (e.g. "KRAFTWERK"). Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:33, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: .. Which it did, so I've requested a technical move. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:38, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

text: ....and so on; in other words reliable printed sources use the full spelling. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:28, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: And in other words, the cover art uses no accent. Why go with an inaccuracy reproduced by mainstream media, however "reliable" they may be? Furthermore, MOS:FR states to "Use English title when well-known". Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:39, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That's right, which is why we don't follow cover art in such cases. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:42, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Please point me to that rule on WP. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said on the Megadeth album talk page, maybe look at the WP:MOSTM guideline and then surf through Japanese album categories, that should hopefully provide some context. Cheers. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:47, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  No accent on the title? 

message: Kraftwerk never used modular systems on any of their recordings - the only modular unit was Doepfer A100 which was used by Florian on tour'98. Fairlight CMI also never existed in their arsenal. From 1983 to 1986 they sampled with the pre-production Emulator II.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.223.104.106 (talk) 13:27, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

Could it be a remix by Ralf Hutter? I could have sworn to read that he remixed Techno Pop once.
