GO TO DISC 2 of 4 go to 7 and play. This disc defaults to Atmos an 3D whereas many discs I own default to Stereo (STUPID STUPID STUPID)
#7 is THE MIX my personal favorite of Kraftwerk releases (so far) and THE MIX is a new mix and a new performance of the Original CD!!. Like if Tull 2017 went into the studio and re recorded 1968's STAND UP - This is amazing. Now I am an Synthaholic Kraftwerk/ELP /Jarre/Vangelis (heaven and Hell Albedo 0.39)). I am also a aficionado of Computer Animation (Mind's Eye stuff by Steve Churchill (Jan Hammer and Thomas Dolby and James Reynolds) so this is heaven for me - Kraftwerk aimed right at me and pressed all the right buttons.
I cannot believe the quality and Immense effort - tis must have cost a bundle to put this out.
The Atmos Mix is as surround sound should be. Attention Giles Martin ET AL and all you safe conservative mixers. I could just cry this sounds so good - You are in a shell or Dome and you can just touch the music all around you and in your head. I have a Epson 5040ube 4k compatble projected on a 109 inch screen 12 ft diag (I think) it's big nonetheless.
The robots - track - is mesmerizing 3D stuff and so is Radioactivity.
Autobahn is a 17 drive on the virtual Autobahn - filled with cars important to ME (how did they know?) A vintage Beetle, Karmin Ghia, VW Bus, Mercedes 280 SEL 4.5 and Finally the most beautiful machine ever made the Mercedes 300 SL (E should have been in there for Einspritzer - fuel injection) I am Dying of Joy here. THEN THEN they turn on the radio and notes come floating towards you and float past your head. Amazing Fing 3D. and it concludes with the little beetle driving off to a pinprick with the Dolby Atmos Following it fron surround backs to Surround to TMH to Fronts to center where it and the Beetle fade from View. This has to be seen to be believed. If you are in the Connecticut area come on by.
on the only downside I am storing my discs in a soft plastic blu ray case - you need a monumental effort to get the discs out of this case good for transport bad for use. Since my first cd in 84 (JT Stand Up BTW) I have been fastidious about NEVER EVER bending the CD lest you damage the aluminum or Gold or Silver or vegetable substrate. No one knew the longevity of CDs in thoses heady days. So I am ingrained thus. And have treated al subsequent optical media like they were vinyl - I threw away the scratchy paper sleeves and replaced them with audiophile plastic sleeves so most of my LPs are pristine and no mold. It's good to see BAGS UNLIMITED still protecting collections since the 70's - anything you can think of they got. I've been using them since the 70's and can vouch for them. People here should check them out.

I am buying a second set as archive, This is an effort worthy of the MOMA and I mean the Blu Rays (MOMA art book included a worthy inclusion)
