Title: Der Freshmaker!
Review: In the Kraftwerk catalogue, Autobahn stands out to me as an anomaly. It's sunny and warm, with kind of a Teutonic Beach Boys feel to it. The eponymous track dominates the album, four german hippies take a roadtrip down the autobahn in an old mercedes. The track starts with a steady highway pulse then gets sunnier, almost as if you're entering the country. This Autobahn isn't about speed, it's a stretch of highway with no other cars for miles and cows on the side of the road.The album is devoid of the menance and irony of later releases and the band has pretty ditched the Krautrock muscle of the first three albums. It's a classic. It also doesn't sound like Kraftwerk.
