I respectfully disagree. I'd own this - even though I know people who pan it - simply for the mix of "Pocket Calculator/Dentaku". Of course, I've owned everything they've recorded and would recommend of most of it. BTW, a lot of what they played on their last tour were versions very close to those on "The Mix". They sounded fine to me. jeff Michael Upton wrote: > On Mon, 21 Sep 1998, Jeff Pitrman wrote: > > | Okay, so I don't have gigantic gobs of money with which to > | explore Kraftwerk's old albums.
