Communication is the debut solo album by ex-Kraftwerk member Karl Bartos. Originally released in 2003, 13 years after leaving the legendary electronic group. Originally released in 2000, the programmatic track "15 Minutes of Fame" was the first single Bartos released and was an exciting peek into the world that was his upcoming full album. Inspired by Andy Warhol's statement, "In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes," Bartos used this as a template to comment on the increasing rise of celebrity culture unleashed by casting shows, reality TV programs, cooking contests etc.
