/*The Mix*/ is a 1991 remix album </wiki/Remix_album> by Kraftwerk
</wiki/Kraftwerk>. It featured re-recorded versions of a selection of
songs which had originally appeared on the albums /Autobahn
</wiki/Autobahn_(album)>/ through /Electric Caf
</wiki/Electric_Caf%C3%A9>/. Htter stated in interviews that he
regarded /The Mix/ as a type of live album, as it captured the results
of the band's continual digital improvisations in their Kling Klang
studio. The band had made a return to the stage in 1990, after a
nine-year hiatus from touring. 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.
Stated reasons from the group explaining the release include:^[/citation
needed </wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed>/]
1. The group didn't want to release a traditional "Greatest Hits" or
"Best of" collection.
2. At the time, the band were in the process of reconfiguring their
Kling Klang </wiki/Kling_Klang> studio from analog to digital
recording technology; integrating MIDI </wiki/MIDI> into their setup
and creating sound archives from their original master tapes that
were stored onto computers. This proved to be an ongoing task, as
new upgrades and equipment were continually made available in the
years following the album project.
3. Despite no new, original recorded material or live tours outside of
Europe, Ralf Htter did not want Kraftwerk to appear defunct to the
public.
The album met with a rather mixed reception on its release. Many were
disappointed at the lack of new compositions and, moreover, the
production values of the re-recorded tracks did not strike many
listeners as particularly cutting edge, something which Kraftwerk had
previously been renowned for. /The Mix/ was created entirely digitally,
albeit during a period when the technology had yet to reach its
maturity, and thus featured a sound which many listeners tend to find
somewhat "sterile" compared to the analogue electronics employed on most
of Kraftwerk's previous recordings of these songs.
The album sleeve was somewhat obtuse </wiki/Obtuse> in the information
it offered. Production is credited to Ralf Htter, Florian Schneider and
Fritz Hilpert </wiki/Fritz_Hilpert>, the latter of whom had replaced
percussionist and stage set designer Wolfgang Flr
</wiki/Wolfgang_Fl%C3%BCr> after Flr left the group in 1987. Karl
Bartos </wiki/Karl_Bartos> also left the band in 1991 and was replaced
by Fernando Abrantes </wiki/Fernando_Abrantes>. Bartos claimed in later
interviews that much of his programming work was still featured on /The
Mix/, uncredited.
A newly remastered </wiki/Audio_mastering> edition of the album was
released by EMI Records </wiki/EMI>, Mute Records </wiki/Mute_Records>
and Astralwerks Records </wiki/Astralwerks_Records> on CD, digital
download and heavyweight vinyl in October/November 2009. Because of
licensing restrictions imposed by Warner Music Group
</wiki/Warner_Music_Group>, this version has only been made available in
the US and Canada as a part of /The Catalogue </wiki/The_Catalogue>/ box
