Kraftwerk have announced a 50th anniversary blu-ray edition of their 1975 album Radio-Activity.

Using the original 16-track master tapes, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Hütter with engineer Fritz Hilpert have created a brand-new Dolby Atmos Mix which takes Kraftwerk’s first all-electronic album and brings vivid new shading, forensic detail and richly layered cinematic depth to the most boldly experimental album in the Kraftwerk catalogue. I heard the Atmos Mix at a playback event in London last week and they’ve done a very good job with this 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]
