It was officially announced today that founding member Florian Schneider has left Kraftwerk. Is this a big deal, or is Ralf Hütter (the only member left from their glory days) all that is needed to take Kraftwerk on the road, recycling their old material?

It's over and it was a great run, but Edgar Froese carries on as Tangerine Dream.

That's too bad. I wasn't aware that they're opening for Radiohead, that will be an exciting show I'll bet.

I can't believe they're still around! I played "Autobahn" for the first time in about 20 years just yesterday.
