Autobahn by Kraftwerk: Kraut Rock/Electronic. That’s right, they’re a German band who made an electronic concept album about driving on a motorway and then the night, but don’t let that put you off. The 22 minute (!) long title track is excellent and actually captures what the band were trying to – that of the different feelings and sights you have when travelling on the autobahn (specifically Koln to Berlin). The second part of the album is darker, what with the concept being night, and the music feels more claustrophobic. A surprisingly great album. Don’t be scared to accept it, it won’t make you pretentious twat. Honest. TWH: Autobahn; Kometenmelodie 2; Morgenspaziergang
Grade: A
