RE: album and KW being lazy!

The new compositions that were played in 97/98 sounded nothing like what EXPO 2000 turned out to be, so perhaps they will remain unreleased. Anyhow I thought those instrumentals were dire and seemed to have been created in less than an hour! Any new Kraftwerk album would NOT be a mega seller due to the lack of promotional work the group have done. Ralf Hutter no longer agrees to interviews.. mind you I have read an interview from 1998 and his God like answers seemed to me as if he was really fed up with it all!

Florian was there enjoying himself, but it does not prove that he is any harder working or less hard working than Ralf. The only way we can know is by using hidden cameras in their studio and seeing which one is calling the shots.

Expo 2000 went straight into the UK top 30, which is not too bad at all, especially when you consider that it is by a band that many of the UK record buying public are unfamiliar with, the fact also that the tune is not particularly mainstream in form and also the fact that it hardly had any promotional work towards it.

If a new album ever comes out I will buy 10. So I don't think money is the issue there. As stated many times before, they have everything they need, they are in no need of money, they already changed music significantly, what reason do they have to release a new album. I'm sure they have tinkered around and made many new song but they have no reason to release them. I still would be happy to see a new album none the less.

Those unfinished songs were perhaps written by the two new guys... which was their names again? anyway... forget it, I don't care for them, neither for those "new tunes", they can stay in bootlegs as far as I'm concerned. > & most interestin' , WHY have they release "expo 2000" > after less than 3 years of work @ their kling klang studio ??? (less than) Three years is a hell of a lot of time to make a single, if you ask me... also they probably saw a window of opportunity, specially with all of the E2K scandal, and they jumped right in. Money talks as they say... E

My theory is that Ralf is the perfectionist, the type of person who doubts his every move and wants to change a hard day's work the very next, just because he changed his mind overnight, in other words, if they have been working on new material since 16 years ago, chances are, at least 98% of that labor was probably thrown out the window because of his second thoughts.

If you think that 55 years old is old.. then you have issues!!! lol Florian did look as if he was in his element, and where was Fritz Hilpert?? Hes their studio technician so shouldnt he have been there with Florian?? I have a new theory about the lack of KW activity.. Seeing that Florian was at the musikmesse, and Ralf was nowhere to be seen, then perhaps Hutter is the lazy one who doesnt want to do anything, while Florian is more enthusisastic in the studio...
