Trans Europa Express was the first Kraftwerk album to be mixed in two entirely separate versions, one in German, the other in English.

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.
