Klang Box was a special edition, box set compilation of music by Kraftwerk, issued in the UK in May 1997 as a promotional item ahead of Kraftwerk's 24 May appearance at the Tribal Gathering Festival, held at Luton Hoo, England.
Klang Box contained four 12" singles of original recordings compiled from the Trans-Europe Express, Computer World and Electric Café albums, including a rare instrumental edit of "Trans-Europe Express".
The box was assigned the catalogue number Klang Box 101 and, according to an accompanying EMI press release, "1000 copies of ‘Trans Europe Express’ (b/w an instrumental version of the track previously unreleased), ‘Numbers’, ‘Musique Non Stop’ and ‘Home Computer’ (b/w ‘It's More Fun To Compute’) are being manufactured, and 250 boxes with a Kraftwerk T-shirt will be made to hold the 4 12" records ".
