An interview to David Bowie was aired on a French TV channel (sorry, don't remember the name, it possibly is Canal +, but I'm not sure) on September 26th. He named Kraftwerk as one of his favorite musicians of all times. DER AUTOMAT

1997 album

Filtre4Pole <catmeow(a)wanadoo.fr> wrote: Obviously most K'fans believe that a "new original KW album release" is an absolutely IMPOSSIBLE event!! Why ? SIMPLY because Kraftwerk cancelled the previous album announced in 1997! ;-) --------------- Is there any documentary evidence for this, that they themselves cancelled an actual album (again) in 1997? I have heard from somewhere that EMI Germany weren't keen on the results of some work in progress, but a set of demos is not the same thing as having a completed project with a fixed tracklist ready for marketing. However if there was indeed an definite project which was 'cancelled' (or ran out of steam?) I'd guess it never got further than what in publishing would be the commissioning stage, where the author merely discusses the proposed work with the publisher/distributor prior to making a commitment.

A worldwide tour in 2003?
by Toby Frith 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Does anyone reckon that the recent gigs were a warm-up for a larger tour next year? Remember, they did do a short tour of Italy in 1990 prior to the Mix being released, showcasing the reworked tracks (or blueprints of the new tracks). However, no new material was played this time so it's all conjecture.

That's the difference between the weakness of Electric Café and the strength of Computerwelt or Trans Europa Express -- and I don't hear it in any of the post 1997 material yet.
