 In January and February 2003, before the release of the album, the band started the extensive "Minimum-Maximum" world tour, using four customised Sony VAIO laptop computers, effectively leaving the entire Kling Klang studio at home in Germany.The group also obtained a new set of transparent video panels to replace its four large projection screens.This greatly streamlined the running of all of the group's sequencing, sound-generating, and visual-display software.
