Ralf & Florian

Jamaican singer Andru Donalds has journeyed a long way creatively and vocally since he released “Let’s Talk About It” – his last real solo album with all new material in 2001. Now he’s back again and bent on showcasing his rich mix of musical influences and styles with a brand new single called “Marble Eyes” and a pending album provocatively titled "Trouble In Paradise".

By the early '90s, it was quite apparent just how far-reaching Kraftwerk's influence had been. From techno to hip-hop to industrial music to house, numerous others were undeniably indebted to the group. Dance clubs had long been a key part of Kraftwerk's following, and the dance market was the obvious target of The Mix – a collection of highly enjoyable, often clever remixes. While novices would do better to start out with Trans-Europe Express or The Man-Machine, hardcore Kraftwerk followers shouldn't pass up these remixes of such classics as "Trans-Europe Express," "The Robots," "Autobahn," and "Radioactivity." One could nitpick about the absence of "Neon Lights" and "Europe Endless," but the bottom line is that this CD was a welcome addition to the Kraftwerk catalog.
