Autobahn-Remastered

C

The 2009 remaster of this album went pretty well all told. Some fans thought the newly found bass was too much for Computer World, but this one certainly seems like it sounds the best it ever has. I wasn't too concerned about the bass issue above anyway, but no such differences here really. I don't hear too much noise reduction or anything, and the dynamics are great for a record like this. DR13. This is probably the best you will ever hear the record on a format outside of higher resolution.The album never really grates, and it's always experimental and pleasing. Kraftwerk's fourth album, yet major debut for most audiences, from 1974 solidified their synth ambience and funky beats with a chorus on the title track that won over quite a few pop charts at the time. It's a shorter album weighing in at around 40 minutes, but that is a good thing as it doesn't really outstay its welcome. It cohesively conjures up images of cruising on the highways during the day and night, and it's a legitimate must have for road trips.The Minimoog and ARP Odyssey are used along with their own electronic drums. There are occasional instruments on play as well. The four part side 2 is more of a shift toward twilight driving until the very end. All in all it's a must have in their catalogue. This is the sound that made the band and helped innovate so many new directions in music. You need to hear this one at least once.

Either you are into electronic music or not - this is a great album. I like different kinds of music but I have never listened to Kraftwerk, even though I have heard the name, so this is the fist album I bought and listened - amazing, simple and very musical, both relaxing and invigorating. I got the vinyl version - quiet, great dynamic range, no pops or clicks. Will now have to get through their catalog, at least the albums other reviewers referred...

Sonido muy bueno y viene con un catálogo vintage con ilustraciones de la época

I somehow missed Kraftwerk the first time around. Now I’m digging into their whole catalog on vinyl and it’s become essential to my listening life. There is something very special about this music. And the quality of the pressing is outstanding.

Very pleased with this transaction. Fast delivery! Thanks!

As I remember years ago

Little did we know our very proper older-gentleman German teacher was a "head". To us, this was just weird music with German words we tried to figure out. Years later (how many I prefer not to admit), I tracked the song down on youtube (yes, there is an official video).When we planned our trip to Germany this year, I *had* to have a copy to play as we were driving on the Autobahn. Granted, it was not coming on the radio, but that was close enough...If you like their music, get this CD. The other songs, which we didn't listen to in class, were worth listening to!
