説明
クラフトワーク4枚目のアルバムから表題曲のシングルカットが登場。1974年発売から50周年記念版として7インチがリリースされました。彼らを印象付けるシンセサイザーなどの電子音が曲の主役だが、今作ではギターやフルートなどの生楽器も裏で鳴っているのが今となっては新鮮。(ushiro/ Tecchu Co.,Ltd.)

Kraftwerk are as well known for their albums as they are their singles and the iconic 'Autobahn' is of course the name of both. It is a rather groundbreaking electronic gem originally released in 1974 and soon revolutionised music with its hypnotic synth melodies, driving rhythms and pioneering use of vocoders. The track - celebrating its 50th anniversary and here on 7" - alongside an album picture disc and new Dolby Atmos mix on CD, which seal the birthday celebrations - captured the essence of modern travel by blending motorik beats with atmospheric soundscapes to create a real electronic journey and sense of movement. It still sounds as futuristic now as ever, a record that truly changed the course of modern music forever.
