From www.brainwashed.com 's New Release section: JULY Kraftwerk - t.b.a. CD/LP (Kling Klang/EMI, Germany) What is this? Anyone know anything? (Josh?) Also, new Slag Boom Van Loon double coming out as well. Did the new Bola already come out? And finally, FSOL have supposedly unoffically broken up, citing extreme musical differences with their record company, Virgin. They have the album made, but are unable to release it. So, they may continue, just under and different moniker.

As I recall, it was broadcast live, so they wouldn't have been able to edit anything for that, unless they re-broadcast it later. Or do you mean P&P did a shorter version on the day?

Well I remember they did PETROL that night too, and Remind I think, but whether or not they were broadcast I don't know.

This album has been highly awaited for 13 years, although nothing i= s=20 certain - a statement from the core members of the band in 1999 about "a = new=20 album in the next century" leaves room for interpretation! However, EMI has confirmed a new album - in November 1999 the record comp= any=20 confirmed an album for a January 2000 release, and various other sources=20 have stated February or March as possible release dates. EMI Norway=20 confirmed early January a release for April 2000. But do not trust the ne= ws=20 until you have the new CD in hand; the road has not been without bumps fo= r=20 Kraftwerk while trying to release a new album. According to sources close= to=20 EMI, the band prepared In Motion for a 1994 release. This was a sort of=20 greatest hits album, and artwork was prepared, but the album was never=20 released. In 1996 Ralf H=FCtter revealed to EMI Japan that the band had n= ew=20 material for an album, which one year later apparently got rejected by EM= I.=20 Latest news is that a new album was presented to and accepted by EMI=20 sometime in 1999, with a release intended in the near future. The band=20 recently cancelled their one-off concert in June at the Expo 2000=20 convention. (END) - ---- In the meantime, the long-awaited CD release of the Tour De France single= =20 has been out since July 1999; the Expo 2000 single has been out in German= y,=20 Switzerland, and Austria since December 6, 1999; it was released in March 2000 for the UK and Australia. I have uploaded the Expo 2000 single, along with the rare "Tone Float" al= bum=20 with Organisation and the first three Kraftwerk albums that have been=20 out-of-print since 1979 (there have have been boots of these around since= =20 1994) onto Marc's FTP (I accidentally uploaded Kraftwerk 2 twice, so plea= se=20 ignore the mistake ! :-). I also added some of Anne Dudley's solo work to the Art Of Noise folder.=20 There will definitely be more good stuff coming soon. On another note, my computer is really fucked up. Every time I shut my=20 computer down to clean my mouse out and then restart it later on, Win 98=20 always goes into safe mode, telling me that my mouse drivers are fucked u= p=20 (this is bullshit becuase I know that they're installed, and everyhitng i= s=20 listed as working fine in the device manager). If I try to boot up in the= =20 normal mode, the computer will automatically reset. After about a good tw= o=20 hours of this, the computer will finally be nice to me and start up in=20 normal mode. What the fuck is wrong ? (and don't tell me that it's time for me to buy = a=20 new computer; I know this already ! However, I don't have the money right= =20 now, so I have to deal with this current piece of shit !) Rob : You never cease to amaze me with your humor !!! You're such a fucki= ng=20 ham !!!
