"Remixes demonstrates how Kraftwerk have kept the music alive even after they ran out of tunes. Music Non Stop was originally on 1986’s Electric Café, an album later rebadged as Techno Pop. The version here is derived from a jingle for MTV, a soft, almost seductive, thirty second snippet now extended to a dreamy eight minutes. Its title is also remixed into simply Non Stop. In 1991, Kraftwerk rearranged and re-recorded their ‘hits’ for the misleadingly labelled, The Mix. A number of singles, including twelve inch and CD singles, were released as part of the project, giving room for further experimentation. Individually, the tracks are interesting and engrossing. Overall, the sound is smooth, flowing, pleasant. The bass is warm and cosy. However, the thrill has been extracted by seductive Artificial Intelligence. The defiant Kraftwerk saltiness is sweetened. Amazingly, none of the remixers manage to create a genuine club banger, perhaps Kervokian’s Aerodynamik coming closest. (theafterword.co.uk)
