Q: There’s a bumper sticker that says “Drum machines have no soul.” Do you think that is true?

RALF HUTTER: It depends on who is programming. [Chuckles.] It sounds to me like a sticker from the ’70s, “Kraftwerk is anti-music” or “Synthesizers have no feelings.” It sounds very old-fashioned. It’s all in the interaction between man and machine. That’s what Kraftwerk is all about: the harmony between man and machine.
