Kraftwerk Kraftwerk - TBA

"Mr. Hütter said a new Kraftwerk album was under way. “We didn’t fall asleep,” he said. “The 168-hour week is still going on since the beginning, since 1970.”

And when can listeners expect the new album? “Soon,” he said."

Yeah, right. These guys work about as fast as BOC. I'm not holding my breath for anything new. Fast forward five years from now and their 'New Album' will just be another remix of Tour De France.

heh, maybe so

Must be good then, since they've spent 70.000 hours since the last studio album.

Lol!

Was 'Tour De France Soundtracks' their last album of new material? I remember enjoying that one a fair bit... Colour me excited for a new one!

Only half the album was new material and it was released 17 YEARS after their previous album.

Don't wait up.

I would be really surprised if the album is only new material.

No, you're right. I don't know why I remembered it that way.

As an aside, anyone who wants a Kraftwerk fix now while we wait another six or seven years would do a lot worse than to check out the Karl Bartos solo album "Communication" from a few years back. I recommend it. There is also an awesome Orbital mix of 'I'm The Message' on some editions.

looking forward to this

Saw that, looks fucking nice.

I do not have 100 quid though.

out of stock already o.o

it's been online for less than 20 minutes or something

Me too. I was online when the email came through. Clicked straight over to Bleep, already have an account with credit card set up.

All copies had already gone.

It's no big loss though, I mean the 2009 box sets are still readily available.

Seriously? Are you sure its not just a site error.

so Kraftwerk can roughly make 200000 bucks in ~10 minutes. impressive.

I think Warp are full of it. Email from them gets pushed to all my devices immediately.

They really sold all 2000 copies within twenty minutes. I wonder how many they actually had for sale?

Wow, maybe its true. Because when I went to the site for the 1st time they were definitely in stock.
