Page "The Mix (Kraftwerk album)" Paragraph 5

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.
