Lee Kelemen's Album Reviews
When I first heard this shortened single on my AM bedside radio, I was a teenager…walking on shag carpet in the hall of my parents house…about to enter my bedroom. It was spring, drizzling and overcast outside. I lived in SW Michigan.
I remember the moment that well.
The song was so different and it mesmerized me so much that I actually sat on the edge of my bed and concentrated on listening to Autobahn for its entire length.
I knew I had to have it.
Bought the album and I was hooked on Kraftwerk for life. My two younger brothers soon followed.
Our grandparents were Austro-Hungarian on one side, German on the other, so culturally Kraftwerk had special meaning for us as well.
