This is what I was thinking about... are KW working on demand? Maybe the send several projects to big events organizations asking for money? Maybe hay, guys, if you want the perfekt soundtrack for your event, WE HAVE the solution! For only 400.000 DM we can make ans special, exclusive soundtrack in several packages formats.... hehehehe I can imagine the tables of big CEOs with many KW projects... "oh, no, another KW project... why are we receiving this crap?"... hahaha They done it with Expo 2000 and now again with Thour de France 03. Why name the new album with a 20 years old song? None of the "brand new songs" are so good to name the album? There's no leitmotiv for it? The cycling race, maybe? So why don't they did it in 83? It sounds to me as new "hey, let's get some extra money" project. "Let's make a "new album", putting 3 or 4 news songs. All that stupid fans will buy it, we make a dozen concerts, some interviews and we can continue as "the fathers of electronic music. And can stay for the next 10 years doing nothing"... What's the next big soundtrackable event? peace Nicolau www.kraftworld.hpg.com.br

It sounds like when they were payed 400000DM for the Expo single, maybe now the TDF organization has commissioned the soundtrack for this centenary edition, even paying something. Do Kraftwerk act like an advertisement band for money ? Do they still feel pleasure by making new compositions ?
