It's an endearing trait of the group that their adherence to deadlines
rarely coincides with their hyper-efficient image: Tour De France was
finished too late for the anniversary celebrations and the official website
announced the >2004< remasters last year. Despite seeing a pic of the set on
eBay or a fansite I'd say don't hold your breath - if you don't own the
masterworks already, go for them. I'd be slightly surprised if they
re-release the back-catalogue immediately after Minimum Maximum, but who
knows.

I saw them in '81, '91, '04 and I'm off to Holland next month to see them in
Holland. I'm wondering whether this will be their last, even why they're
touring again so soon after last year's worldwide one. I thought Florian
hated touring and therefore suspect this might be their last. Again, who
knows!
