since i just read that today is the 50th anniversary of kraftwerk's autobahn i had to remember how much their music and their technopositivism represent old futures. Space-Lab or Mensch-Maschine are futures long gone. Electric Cafe sounds curiously antiquated.
and so is autobahn. the old paradigm of freedom and mobility is superseded and replaced by klimate change, traffic congestion and environmental harm.
but kraftwerk are versatile. they also made some songs about future transports, even though the source for this song is also long gone ... but it might come back.
