I think they didn't plan to release a greatest hits album at least in the beginning. Nevertheless this is obviously just my point of view and I could be wrong.
I understood it to be that Kraftwerk were supposed to release a conventional "best of" album after Electric Cafe, but Huetter decided that they should "get their hands dirty" rather than just re-releasing old songs. I think credit is due for that (if this is true). Orbital's "Work" album is their "Mix" album if you like (but the tracks aren't re-worked). There are a number of parallels to be made.

So I was wrong. Thank you for correcting me. Enrique Correa wrote:
"The Mix" is not a shelf filler. A "Best Of" is.
If Kraftwerk had released an "unmixed" old songs compilation album, it would haven't been different from the albums that Cleopatra released some years ago. DER AUTOMAT ®

----------------- Those Cleopatra motherf*ckers used tiny 5 point type for the booklet in their KW box set. And no pictures. Has anybody actually read the whole booklet? I go blind trying to finish it! The CD's are fine. amir
