Kraftwerk's “Autobahn” turns 50, released 1 November 1974

Kraftwerk (power-station in German) is an electronic music group originating from Düsseldorf, Germany in the late 60's. Revolutionary for their time, and greatly influential on ours, the group has released a steadily evolving output of ideas and sounds largely made with analog electronic instruments in their Kling Klang studio. In exploring the curious sounds of cars, trains, robots, computers, bicycles, among other things, Kraftwerk have made a lasting impression on modern music.
