My Amazon.ca pre-order arrived today, wahoo! Remains a bargain at $20.98 CDN. I won't have a chance to listen to it this evening as we are off to a show at the OLG Stage in Niagara Falls; a fantastic venue by the way. Will report back in a day or two.

Wow I just spotted the Amazon CA price last night, should arrive today.

I beg to differ! This mix is wild and will make everyone's top ten mixes of 2025.

Apologies, have just listened again, and loud, and I agree, it is wilder than I thought the first time (when I wasn't really paying attention, I was actually working at the time!).

Love this album, will be listening tonight. Hoping big things.

Nostalgia comes to mind, going back 50 years, hearing it on my brother's music center, wow. The tears are welling up in anticipation

I was debating on getting this, then I saw them live Thursday night in Philly (absolutely incredible). I picked this up at the merch table on the way out. Can't wait to hear it this weekend!

Ripping Notes:
I had to go to the hard disc to figure things out a bit.
5 track album rips as Atmos TRU HD, 5.1 DTS HD MSTR, PCM Stereo. All 24/48.
The single edits got me a little confused. Autobahn* (2024 edit) (4.34) mainly transforms to a moving picture (like all of the previous 3D Catalogue version).
If you rip this single edit you could replace the MKV Track 1? I don't think I will.

The other single edit Kometenmelodie 2 (2024 edit) (4.12) is a single edit, mainly for the purist, sounds a bit different.

So in the end I have decided to keep all the root files, use the 5.1 album in the car and the Atmos in my JRiver player (home).
All others will just be held in my external safe hard drive.

Is the stereo mix the original or has it been remixed?

• After re-visiting the original 16-track master tapes, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Hütter with engineer Fritz Hilpert have created a brand-new Dolby Atmos Mixwhich takes the listening experience of this seminal recording further and deeper than ever before. I heard the Atmos Mix at a playback event in London last December and can confirm that it’s a great mix!
  
  The blu-ray edition features the album in the following versions:
  
  • Dolby Atmos Mix
  • 5.1 Mix (48/24 – rendered from the Atmos)
• • Stereo Mix (48/24) [2009 remastered audio]
