Surely with all the combinations of wave shapes and harmonies that are
possible, 'new' sounds AND melodies will always spring up and surprise us?
And also who is to say what is to be invented in the years to come.
I think that statement is like saying that after all the time we've used
letters, words and sentences there can't be new stories? ;o)) And that can't
be true as a new Harry Potter books is doing the rounds *he he*
Anyway...

While now considered
groundbreaking'/'innovative',etc.. in the past every
new Kraftwerk releases has usually been greeted with
lukewarm responses (especially in music press, but
also fans).. this dates back 30 years.
Now I don't think that there are no 'new' sounds or
melodies, especially now in 2003, to create. What we
have is a full range of sonic possibilities - ones
available to alot of musicians.
What then is left for musicians to do? I would
suggest that part of the greatness of kraftwerk is the
'space' between the sounds / concepts / visuals -
which creates an interaction between the listener and
musicans. You 'get' from Kraftwerk music (in part)
also what you bring to the music yourself.
