Firstly, I'll believe it when I hold it in my grubbly little hands. :) Secondly, it's not really a new album, but a collection of mixes and interpretations, as with the recent family of Expo 2000 produkt. -- /* Soleil */

Hmm. I dunno. I'm tired of hoping for the best and being disappointed, so I'm erring on the cynical side these years. I'll wait and see. -- /* Soleil */
Hey all, Don't recall if anyone already pointed this out, but I just thought I'd mention there's a shortish review of the reissue of I Was a Robot in the Guardian... http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,12084,971857,00.html Best line: Flür was Kraftwerk's drummer (a bit like being the flugelhorn player in Metallica: not much to do). Which kind of always begs the question I've been curious about: after what point in their touring history was Flur basically just "lipsynching" along w/ the pre-programmed beat w/ the drum pads and what if anything did he do live after that? -martin
Astralwerks in the US just sent out the same press release that is posted @ Side-Line. July 8th for cd and 12". Stefan Norman wrote:

EMI Records have just """""informed us""""" of the """""rush-release"""""... ("""""Siede-Line""""") seeing is believing...
EMI Norway has also released a press statement about the new album and single, which they have never done before (after The Mix, of course). I just wonder, if they are still mixing the album, how can they expect to release it in a month? glenn
A record company the size of Capitol/EMI can have a pan european release of adequate size (Kraftwerk isn't exactly a complicated release) ready in two weeks without any more trouble than a couple of A&R people having to sweat a little... ;) Remember they get the full package with a complete master (and probably images and graphics?) directly from Kling Klang. / Petter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn Folkvord (Hyperion Media)" <glenn@folkvord.net> To: "Kraftwerk mailinglist" <kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 2:23 PM Subject: Re: [Kraftwerk] New album!

The problem in delays are not the Major (well a little) But mainly the time the factories make the CDs, the bigger the release, the longer the time. On the 10000 Hz ep, the period betwaeen gold master and release was 6 months, the time to make the CDs print booklets etc took 3 months. Record companies can't work so fast.

1. I'll believe it when I see it. 2. Which EMI subsidiary has the title for the US? For "Expo Remix," it was Astralwerks/Caroline/Virgin. It's probably more than likely that Caroline will distribute the title rather than EMM (EMI Music Marketing, formerly EMD) proper because it won't sell millions and millions.
But mainly the time the factories make the CDs, the bigger the release, the longer the time.
3. This is not true. CDs are often "bumped," the detestable practice of moving an album's release to a later date repeatedly, so that more pre-release buzz can be generated, which translates into more initial sales (hopefully, on the label's behalf). Sometimes albums are bumped into extinction, without ever being released at all, due to label politics, such as Ras Kass's unreleased 3rd album, "Van Gogh," and the first two albums by the Wu-Tang Clan affiliate group known as Deadly Venoms. Peace.
