Trans-Europe Express (German: Trans Europa Express) is the sixth studio album by German electronic music band Kraftwerk. Recorded in mid-1976 in Düsseldorf, Germany, the album was released in March 1977 on Kling Klang Records. It saw the group refine their melodic electronic style, with a focus on sequenced rhythms, minimalism, and occasionally manipulated vocals.

Trans Europa Express was the first Kraftwerk album to be mixed in two entirely separate versions, one in German, the other in English. Most German pressings (as well as the 2009 remastered reissues) list 'Metall Auf Metall' as two separate tracks, the second part entitled 'Abzug'.

Melodic themes are repeated often and occasionally interwoven over deliberate, chugging beats, sometimes with manipulated vocals; the effect is mechanical yet hypnotic

Album: Trans-Europe Express (1977). Charted: 67. Get the Sheet Music License This Song. The title track of Kraftwerk's 1977 album of the same name, this contributed to the ongoing mutual appreciation society formed by David Bowie and the German electronic band in the late 1970s. The bond started when Bowie borrowed some of Kraftwerk's ideas on their 22-minute epic "Autobahn" for his Station to Station album. They included the title track beginning with an electronically generated impression of a chugging train.

Trans Europe Express. Trans Europe Express (2009 Remastered Version). The songs There are relatively few songs on this album, but they are all fairly long, and one gets the sense that Kraftwerk worked on each one a lot before they decided they were satisfied and approved the album for release. One gets the impression that every small note shape, timbre, rhythm, and embellishment is there because the band decided to put it there, and nothing was accidental. The stereotypical German attitude toward precision certainly seems to be here.

But with Trans-Europe Express, they set out to reinvent a different legend: that of Europa itself. In the process, they changed pop music forever.

Talk about Kraftwerk - Trans Europe Express


Flarik
Digitalised, yes. In fact, the spine proudly displays the phrase 'KLING KLANG DIGITAL MASTER'. The word 'digital', we are told, is a sign that the record will lack the warmth of an analogue record. This is largely true, but this is a Kraftwerk record, and somehow a lack of warmth does not detract from what was already a cold and clinical production; it is barely noticeable. What is apparent, however, is that this remaster sounds clear as a bell.

Digitalised ! Beware ! Analogue loss.
