I never thought much of Tour de France actually, I was always more of a fan of Trans Europa Express. Maybe it's because I found a decent original LP of it when I was in Germany, so it holds a lot of memories as well as value to me. I get slated often when I say I think Kraftwerk were far more a singles band than an album band <braces himself>.
I find the singles sometimes a little odd when heard out of album context, but that's just me. That said, they seem to work just fine on Minimum Maximum so who knows? What's your bet on the next album? 2020? When Ralf will be in his mid 70s? Personally, I doubt there will be one again. I just don't think Ralf will ever be satisfied with whatever it is they've actually done.
