I don't think this is about remixing. It's about, like with the website, allowing the user to almost "make their own tracks". Bussy's book mentioned something about that near the end, in that in the future, people would be able to take the sounds that Kraftwerk had and use them themselves. The website seems to be an embryonic representation of that ideal. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jan R. <dasfestistzuendeaus@yahoo.de> To: Kraftwerk Mailing List <kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:21 PM Subject: Re: [Kraftwerk] KW Likelihood of forthcoming releases

You're damn right - the idea of an entire DVD filled with KW data is really enticing and I'm sure Ralf is concerned about perpetuating his work and allowing others to "play" with KW music.
Given their attitude at "refining" their current tracks instead of composing new ones, I think that such a release is a tad more likely to happen than an entire new album.
I'm not quite sure about that, even it would be a charming idea. But we all know: They are presenting their pieces nowadays as a kind of repertory plays (they call it "work in progress", I presume), and concerning remixes they seem to be ticklish. AFAIK, they never gave away the control; each one of the official remixes circulating around has their blessing. I remember that Yello did this some years ago, but it's hardly imaginable to me that KW will ever give their material to other hands without having any possibility to control the results.
