this is likely.  the opening tracks at the tribal gathering show were almost
an exact copy, down to the last note, of their 1991 tour.  makes you wonder
why they bother carting all that gear around when quite clearly they're
doing it off the same midi file every time.  and the 'new' material they
played at tribal gathering was astoundingly shit.  they should just stop,
now, because it's an embarrassment.

what on /earth/ do they get up to in that studio?  it seems time has stood
still for the past 10 years in the world of kling klang.  dust off the
guitars organs and flutes and re-create Ralf And Florian, that's what i
reckon.
