Autobahn was the first album I bought for myself. It made me curious about classical music, the idea of Europe, and that cover had a profoundly significant effect: it made me realise how a greater landscape of possibility could come from one image. It made us think about travelling through a continent, but also travelling through time. It looked like a cathedral and a power station. Factory's industrial aesthetic came from there too, and that imagery came to define Manchester, the first industrial city. Kraftwerk playing at the Manchester Velodrome [in 2009] meant everything. It broke my heart that Tony Wilson wasn't there to see it.
