I may be one of the minority hard-core KW fans who likes The Mix. I think R & F took great care in remaking their classic tracks. Putting on the headphones and carefully listening to each sound, I can picture Ralf and Florian in the studio tweaking the sounds just a little while the Robots stand in a corner looking on. My only regret with that release is that they couldn't use their inspiration to create one (Aw, come on R & F, just one!) new track ala Expo 2000. I may be wrong here, but in the Mix's Autobahn where they the voice comes over the car radio and the tone is electronically altered throughout that segment ("The fun on the Autobahn" - sorry, my Deutch isn't good), isn't that one of the first recorded songs with that effect? A few years later, Cher had her big comeback song (Do You Believe in Love) using that effect. Now it seems like every hip-hop song here in the States uses that effect. Maybe KW was there first. Any comments? Mike F Somewhere in Ohio

I dont think we are talking about the same effect technically speaking. They may sound similar, but AFAIK the Autbahn vocals are computerized, i.e. the sound comes from a computer, while Cher and her followers took a real human voice and processed it electronically. Glenn

No, I like it too ;-) and I would say it's technically still up to date...crisp, clear and multi-dimension sound...
Yes, If I had to take one KW CD on the road with me, I'd pick 'The Mix' (German version of course...I enjoy Taschenrechner more than Pocket Calculator). It's got a majority of my favorites, and its not that bad... Signed, omegaChance http://www.mp3.com/omegaChance
