I, like many fans, have been anxiously awaiting new material from the gods of synth-pop since 1986's "Electric Cafe". After numerous rumors, etc, a single is finally out and it does not disappoint! Rather than sounding like the time off has led them off to experiment with newer, more "hip" sounds, they have stuck to doing what they do best, and noone does it better! This sounds exactly as you would hope and like they never skipped a beat. I highly, highly recommend this single if you are a Kraftwerk fan and even if you're not. I guess the only thing left to ask is when's the album goin gto be out? :)

Well, finally at least some of the rumored activity must have been true! I have to admit I was going to buy whatever they released regardless of the wait. I'm not bowled over, but not exactly disappointed.

This German release contains four versions of one theme. Track one and two are the same version with Track one shortened for radio (I presume). After you get past the "Expo 2000" lyrical drill, the tune is decent although a little too laid back rythmically. Track four is a close variation on the first two with less emphasis on the beat and more on the atmosphere.

The real gem (at least for me) is track three... an extra theme is added, the tune finds a good solid groove and stays there.

Worth having for any fan of Man-Machine through Electric Cafe. (Total time for the four tracks: 22:55)

I just got it....listening to it right now.....This is THE best music ever. My 1st encounter with Kraftwerk was in the early 80's.....i'm so glad that ONE radio station had the guts to spin these records. No kidding i get goose bumps!!!!! Thanks Kraftwerk;-)

Fabulous stuff and long overdue. Pulsing and mechanical as only Kraftwerk know how. They're often copied and sampled but never bettered in my view. Come on Mein Herr's lets have a new Album to savour.

I'm a huge Kraftwerk fan, but this was a bit disappointing after such a long silence. I hope that the rumors of a new album are true.
