Trans-Europe Express (German: Trans Europa Express) is the sixth studio album by German band Kraftwerk. Recorded in 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. The themes include celebrations of the titular European railway service and Europe as a whole, and meditations on the disparities between reality and appearance. Thompson, Dave.

This idea was dropped for a photo by New York-based celebrity photographer Maurice Seymour, with the group dressed in suits to resemble mannequins. [18] J. Stara's image of the group was taken in Paris and is a highly retouched photo-montage of Kraftwerk from their shoulders up again posed as mannequins which are shown on the cover of the English version of the album. [18] [19] On the inside sleeve, a color collage of the group sitting at a small cafe table designed by Emil Schult was used. The photo for this scene was from the session by Maurice Seymour, taken on the group's American tour. Other photos were taken by Schult that show the group laughing and smiling. These were not used for the album's release. [19] Composition [ edit ] Danny opens the second hour with a quote from General Patton. Of course he does. They do a superb, in-depth look at the German football scene and how the World Cup has affected Germany’s sense of their footballing selves. Hatchard is a German football expert and gives us the low down on the current state of play over Ozil and how only one young Leverkusen player has come out and supported the Arsenal man. It’s a great, rather serious discussion about the European liberal perspective on national identity and dual nationality, and how complicated it is in Germany in relation to Ozil. Hatchard says how much he hates the very idea of accusing him of having split loyalties. They go on to discuss the state of the Bundesliga and how it needs a title race. This was wonderful stuff and proof that you can do a show which mixes light and heavy without undermining either.

Danny Kelly, Rob Daly and co have such an encyclopedic knowledge of all the goings on – perfect Sunday night radio.’ The nature of how they deal with all this info is key to the enjoyment. It’s obviously based on loads and loads of research, but what is clever and enjoyable about it all is that they interact with each other in the way any of us would when talking over a few drinks. So it’s far more structured than a rambling discussion, but way less formal than pure journalism or reportage. A perfect balance.We start off with a discussion about the 39th Game and how its seen across the continent, led by Brassell (who, I didn’t realise, is a Brass-ell, not a Brassle).

[5] [6] Paul Alessandrini suggested that Kraftwerk write a song about the Trans Europ Express to reflect their electronic music style. Hütter and Schneider met with musicians David Bowie and Iggy Pop prior to the recording, which influenced song lyrics. Maxime Schmitt encouraged the group to record a French language version of the song "Showroom Dummies", which led the group to later record several songs in French. The album was recorded at Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf. [6] Artistic control over the songs was strictly in the hands of members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, with Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flür contributing sequenced electronic percussion. [7] Kraftwerk went to railway bridges to listen to the sounds the train would actually produce. The group found the sound the train made was not danceable and changed it slightly.

Trans Euro Express is currently broadcast at 9pm on a Sunday evening on talkSPORT 1 for a full three hours, right up until the witching hour – or Monday, as we more fearfully call it. It’s been a movable feast on the radio station for a couple of years now, always on a Sunday sometime from 7pm to 10pm. But this year, it’s settled down to the 9pm slot which is perfect for the end of the week. Pour yourself a few large ones, put your feet up and get with the European programme.
