Song title: Autobahn
Artist: Kraftwerk
Year: 1974
Why I like this song:
Recently I got ahold of Kraftwerk's landmark album Autobahn.
From the outset, it seems that this album's reputation lies in it's title track: A twenty-plus minute epic that simulates a car journey and is largely recognised as a foundation stone for electronic music.
They aren't kidding.
Of course, saying so does a tremendous disservice to the rest of the album which are all superb and mark the transition point where Kraftwerk went from experimental to something more easily embraced.
Still I look forward to the day when I get to go on a long car journey and have this playing
