I have to agree completely, in fact I saw the new lineup live at the
Tibetan Freedom Concert here in Washington, DC, USA. They were right on
the money laying out a sweet jazz/funk hybrid. Unfortunately they were cut
short when lighting struck the stadium, followed by a massive storm... 

Oh yeah, those Kraftwerk bastards ;-) cancelled their appearance as well,
I wait all these years, what a let down...
