Sharing another set of Kraftwerk mixes that have yet to be released on CD.

These are my re-creations of the 12" and 7" Versions of "Musique Non Stop" which both appear on the 1986 USA 12" single. Both mixes were generally simple to re-create because they are simply "cut and paste" edits of the original album version (which I used from the Warner Bros. 1986 "Electric Cafe" CD), although each mix also incorporates a segment of "Boing Boom Tschak" in the intro.

So for the first time in full CD quality...

Musique Non Stop (12" Version) 6:16 WAV

Musiqe Non Stop (7" Version) 4:12 WAV

My own scan of the "Musique Non Stop" 12" sleeve (600dpi 1500x1500)

I do not own the 7" vinyl of "Musique Non Stop" but there is apparently an even shorter edit on the B-side. If anyone has this, and would like to share, I'd be more than happy to re-create that mix as well!

Just a thought - maybe you could try to recreate the edited versions from earlier B-sides like "Europe Endless", "Franz Schubert" or "Hall of Mirrors"? :) They aren't likely to surface on CD, so you work may be the next best thing :)

Oh, and here's the B-side to "Musique Non Stop": http://www.mediafire.com/download/660bi ... ide%29.mp3

I don't have any other Kraftwerk 7" singles - just "Tour De France" and the 7" mix of "Musique Non Stop" from the 12" single. But if you or someone is willing to provide mp3s or whatever, I would certainly be willing to give it a go. As long as they are just edits of album versions it would be easy enough for me to tackle.

I tried to get the MNS B-side you posted but it comes up "Permission denied"...

I was able to scrounge up a youtube posting that appears to be legit:

If you can confirm this is the B-side version, I can work from that...

Here's a new link - https://www.sendspace.com/file/drfg6e YouTube, though, seems to be the one, too - just several seconds shorter.

As for other B-sides, I'll have a look - they are somewhere in the depths of my hard drive, - and will post them here ASAP. I guess they are just that - edits of the album versions so, I hope, with your skills you'll be able to do them just right :)

And here they are: https://www.sendspace.com/file/7wah02 - "Franz Schubert" and "Hall of Mirrors". Can't find "Europe Endless" at the moment, when it appears I'll post it too :)

Thanks Passing_Stranger! I like that this mix incorporates a few other segments of the album version that the 12" and 7" A-Side mixes do not. Before hearing it, I was hoping it might begin with the fade-in voice that introduces the album version instead of the "Boing Boom Tschak" intro - just to shake things up. Was happy to find that was indeed the case! A nice little mix indeed.

Here is my re-creation of the 7" B-Side mix of:

"Musique Non Stop" 3:21 WAV
https://www.sendspace.com/file/3zyxcr

I appreciate the 7" edits you've provided me as templates. I'll download the others now and will post them as soon as I'm done. I'm as excited to have these edits in CD quality as anyone else is I'm sure! Happy to do my part...

I hate to be a pain but I am unable to open the file. I assume it's because I use a Mac and the file is incompatible. Could you post the files separately or as a zip or RAR?
