Trans Europa Express presents Kraftwerk's 1977 masterpiece in its original German-language form, pressed on clear vinyl as a UK import.
Released in 1977, the album found the Düsseldorf group refining the electronic pop vision they had sketched on Autobahn and Radio-Activity. Its subject was Europe itself, celebrated as a continent of elegant cities, long train rides and shared culture, and its precise, machine-driven rhythms would go on to shape synth-pop, hip-hop and techno.
Hearing it in German adds a layer of austere charm. "Europa Endlos" opens with a gently rolling melody that seems to stretch all the way to the horizon, while "Spiegelsaal" is a moody, slow-moving reflection on fame and self-image. "Schaufensterpuppen" is deadpan and witty, the group casting themselves as shop-window mannequins who step out into the world.
The title track "Trans Europa Express" forms the record's centerpiece, a hypnotic sequence of clattering percussion and rail-track rhythm that Afrika Bambaataa famously borrowed for an early electro landmark. It still sounds startlingly modern.
For collectors, the German version offers a fresh way into a record many know only in English, and it makes a fascinating companion to the more familiar edition. The clear vinyl gives this cool, gleaming music a fittingly sleek look.
