Blast from the past...a trip on the imaginational highway.
Autobahn - Kraftwerk
Part 1
Part 2
Wir fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n auf der Autobahn
Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl
Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band
Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand
Jetzt schalten wir ja das Radio an
Aus dem Lautsprecher klingt es dann:
Wir fah'rn auf der Autobahn...
(We are driving on the Autobahn
In front of us is a wide valley
The sun is shining with glittering rays
The driving strip is a grey track
White stripes, green edge
We are switching the radio on
From the speaker it sounds:
We are driving on the Autobahn...)
Huzzah for the internetz. I remember seeing this film at animation festivals back in the 70's, back when pop music had more room to be relaxed and album cuts of 20 minutes or more were not uncommon. Amazing stuff. Animation by Roger Mainwood, and of course the trippy genius of Kraftwerk, the founders of the Electronika movement in music.
So kick back, fire up the headphones (and any attitude adjusters you may have on hand), maximize your screen, and get ready for a journey down the Autobahn.
