"Released over 50 years ago, the unique blend of instruments and sound effects in this music lends itself remarkably well to Dolby Atmos mixing, as confirmed by the listening experience in this format. All channels are utilized with precision, and the movement of instruments and sound effects, originally presented in stereo, is now expanded into a fully immersive 3D soundscape that envelops the listener. The sense of depth and spatial detail is so convincing that, if this album weren’t already half a century old, one could easily believe it was conceived with Dolby Atmos in mind from the start.
This Blu-ray edition stands as a true showcase of Dolby Atmos technology, offering a breathtaking demonstration." Full review...

"Autobahn" is the fourth studio album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk, released in November 1974 by Philips Records. The album marked several personnel changes in the band, which was initially a duo consisting of Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter; later, the group added Klaus Röder on guitar and flute, and Wolfgang Flür on percussion. The album also completed the group's transition from the experimental krautrock style of their earlier work to an electronic pop sound consisting mostly of synthesizers and drum machines.
