- Black Sheep Hit: Despite Kraftwerk not being the kind of band you'd expect to have a hit on the US charts, the title track made the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100, albeit in drastically edited form (whittling the 22-minute song down to 3:28, basically just keeping the opening section). It was their only US Top 40 hit.
- Breakthrough Hit: The album and its title track established Kraftwerk as a major act internationally.
- Completely Different Title: Japanese
- Kometenmelodie 1 and 2 -> 大彗星（鼓動 and 軌道）(Large Comet, Beating and Orbiting)
- Mitternacht -> 深夜そして姿なき足跡 (Traces of Footprints on Midnight)
- Referenced by...: The Fake Band Autobahn in The Big Lebowski, an Affectionate Parody of Kraftwerk, takes its name from this album. One album of theirs that is shown in the film shows them even dressed in the same outfits Kraftwerk wore on the cover of The Man-Machine.
