The Mix

Product Information

This CD Inner and Outer Sleeve For this specific sale the CDs sleeve condition refers only to the inner paper insert sleeve, and does not refer to the outer digipak, jewel case or cardboard outer casing. In retrospective reviews, All Music's Alex Henderson observed that "Dance clubs had long been a key part of Kraftwerk's following, and the dance club was the obvious target of The Mix – a collection of highly enjoyable, often clever remixes", adding that it was a "welcome addition to the Kraftwerk catalog". The Sleeve When we describe the sleeve we are describing the printed paper cover or booklet that is included inside the case.

It was released on 11 June 1991 by Kling Klang and EMI in Europe and by Elektra Records in North America. I'd go so far as to say that if you're a fan of 90s dance music, this would be a solid introduction to the band that influenced much of it. This conversion project proved to be an ongoing task, as new upgrades and equipment were continually made available in the years following the album project. It also acts as a strong sampler of Kraftwerk’s music, akin to a “greatest hits” compilation, but with much more effort in its creation.

Also, there is just a certain charm in them updating their classics to a style that they themselves helped start. CD Version CD's are released in many editions and variations, such as standard edition, re-issue, demonstration (demo), not for sale, promotional (promo), special edition, limited edition, and many other editions and versions. The level difference stays like this for the rest of side 1 and repeats on side 2 during the "Dentaku" section of "Taschenrechner". The best remakes included in The Mix are, rather, novel takes on Kraftwerk’s music, bringing a cold, digital sound and peppy, danceable rhythms.

Some of the songs, such as "The Robots" and "Radioactivity", have new additional melodies and/or lyrics.a revised history of the band, throbbingly danceable and one of the best party records of the past decade . Most of the songs featured on their set list from this point to the present time have been heavily rearranged in a similar fashion to what appears on the album. Get abit annoyed, with all these remastered recordings, a lot of the rawness and energy is lost, trying to imagine something that was perfect the first time round. Inspired by the publicity for the band's recent concerts in London, I decided it was time to take a chance, so I went for 'The Mix' as the nearest there is to a sampler. The decision to start the percussion when the initial vocoder starts was good, and the new melody for the "radio" section is very enjoyable to hear.

By revisiting their past, the band somehow stopped walking entirely after putting out the most danceable project in their career. The vocals from the melody of the former sound like off-brands of the originals here, and are really the only negative point here.It's really good to have a studio version of "Autobahn" that doesn't bore me to death; also, the "Pocket Calculator/Dentaku" segment is delicious, and the dancier versions of "The Robots", "Radioactivity" and "Music Non Stop" are highlights too. Bartos claimed in later interviews that much of his programming work was still featured on The Mix, uncredited.
