AUTOBAHN PIC DISC

To celebrate reaching its 50th Anniversary, Kraftwerk have announced three new editions of their landmark 1974 album Autobahn for release on March 7. After re-visiting the original 16-track master tapes, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Hütter with engineer Fritz Hilpert have created a brand-new Dolby ATMOS Mix, which takes the listening experience of this seminal recording further and deeper than ever before. The new Dolby ATMOS Mix will be available as a Blu-ray disc and digital release, and for vinyl lovers, the stereo album is pressed as a highly attractive vinyl picture disc for the very first time, making it the only official picture disc in Kraftwerk’s discography.

 

The three formats of Autobahn are as follows:

 

1. Blu-ray audio disc featuring Dolby ATMOS mix, 5.1 mix, stereo mix, 2024 edits of Autobahn and Kometenmelodie 2 (in Dolby ATMOS mix, 5.1 mix, stereo) plus a visualizer video of Autobahn (edit) using Kraftwerk’s live projections. There is an exclusive edition of the Blu-ray, which comes housed in a card slipcase which is only available from the official Kling Klang store and via Super Deluxe Edition here

 

2. A 12" picture disc vinyl (2009 stereo remaster)

 

3. Digital release of Dolby ATMOS mix (Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal etc)

 

In addition, a new single edit of Autobahn (which originally became an underground hit in the UK and US) will be released on 7” vinyl and digitally on February 14:

A. Autobahn 

B. Kometenmelodie 2

 

Kraftwerk acknowledges "Autobahn" at 50 with some newly announced US, UK and European shows, including a headline appearance at the Forever Now Festival at Milton Keynes Bowl on Sunday, June 22. Full line up and ticket info here
