Title: Kraftwerk – Autobahn
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1974, Electronic, Krautrock, Düsseldorf
Matrix #: VEL-2003
Condition: EX (LM)
Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle Kraftwerk were still pushing against the idea that German artists had to copy British and American rock. Autobahn was part identity break, part artistic gamble.
2. Studio Lore The title track originally ran over 22 minutes. Editing it down for single play helped turn a long conceptual piece into an unlikely crossover hit.
3. Media Narrative This is the record that pushed Kraftwerk from underground West German experiment into an international reference point for synth-pop, techno, and hip-hop.
