Your reply was all the excuse I needed, Wigbert, to look up the English translation of, "Kraftwerk."
Imagine my surprise when I saw that it means, "power station"!
Makes total sense for the music of the electronic musicians known as Kraftwerk.
(I erroneously thought it had something to do with the kind if artistic expression that involves hand-crafting. Incidentally, I discovered the music of Kraftwerk in the early '70s, and I still enjoy their sound as much as I did back then.)

well, thank you - I’m glad to have inspired some research… 😉😉

yes, they purposely chose that name - as fitting their #music

and yes - it’s still a great piece to listen to on a long drive.

“…Most of the album is taken up by the 22-minute "#Autobahn" … The song was inspired by the group's joy of driving on Germany's autobahns, and recorded music that reflected a trip emulating the sounds of a vehicle…”
