I'm fireId up. Went to Cabaret tonight. They played Trans Europe Express...Started doing the dance...Looked up, people were doing the dance. Now that was FUN!!!!

I know we did it right but thought there was more to the dance.

Does someone remeber the actual dance to TEE? Great Flashback!!!

Love the beat.

[AGreenAngel]

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS GOD!!! I remember my DJ uncle blasting this in the very early 80s. We kids went wild with the energy. But this was surely the very beginning of Trance!

I don't really read carefully enough some of the nonsense that fills these pages. But.. I am an Atheist Jew who knows thousands of Jews and I am damn impartial. Jews come in all kinds. Most don't care that much about Zionism, some are sorry the Israelis behave like some Muslims sometimes. If you know a hundred Jews personally, then feel free to blog badly about them. Or just tell me I am a cretin, I don't mind. This trans euro express is taking the Jews back to Naziville and it must stop.

[phil1002010]

@11xzxzxz Taking Jews back to Naziville? What are you on man? you wouldn't say that if they weren't fucking German! Trans Europe Express....Hmmm, let me see, what could it be about? It's a difficult one, I'm not sure what they are singing about here.... oh, I've got it!!!!! It's about a train ride across Europe isn't it!!! Silly me!! It stops at many stations such as Vienna, where they all have tea in a late night Cafe, oh and they meet Iggy Pop and David Bowie in the process too! Grow up !!!

[11xzxzxz]

@phil1002010 It was a joke. I just don't like the song. I would say it if I was German (self-mockery is my forte) and I have some very wonderful German friends and no bias. I like Iggy Pop and Bowie.. what are you talking about? You assume so much about me from a little throw-away joke. Take care.

[phil1002010]

@11xzxzxz Sorry for the misunderstanding. There are some on here that would say the most ridiculous things, as we both know I am sure. Obviously, you are not one of them, so again I apologise for my comment. Kraftwerk are not everybody's cup of tea either! I love them though, and for me, this particular track is possibly my favourite of theirs. I love the musical 'description' of the journey, the clang of the tracks, amazing and brilliant for 1977. Best of wishes to you :-)

[11xzxzxz]

@phil1002010 Best wishes to you too. No problem I am not easily understood without explanation sometimes. 

[xalener]

@phil1002010

Dude... that was so obvious a joke...

"atheist jew" you should have picked it up there.

[tremendamamota]

THANKS A KATRILLION BAZILLION THANK YOU'S TO THE PERSON THAT WAS BRILLIANT TO POST THIS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS L.P VERSION FOR A TRILLION YEARS AND A DAY. YOU'RE THE BEST!!!

[phil1002010]

I had already bought komitenmelody II in this record shop underneath Bretonside Bus Station in Plymouth when I was about 11 or something, and my mate across the road had Ralph and Florian, and he kept playing it backwards! Trans Europe Express came out about a year and a half later, he got it for his birthday, I got it for Xmas!

[WpgLwr007]

Loved this since I got it new, back in the 70s...

[dashza]

I actually bought this album back in the day just for this song! Can't believe I found this! We went crazy for this song. Bronx River anyone?

[mandyak999]

this song gives me goosebumps

[kmg501]

I only wish these guys (and myself) realized the multicultural destruction that was to befall Europe & America by the secular progressive Jews back then. We might have been able to head off some of the damage done. Music is a great path to inform people. Unfortunately none of us knew back then what the communist/ racial supremacist Jews were up to.

Now the Jews own everything (govt/media/finance) and they pit all races against each other. :-(

@kmg501 What's with all the antisemitism?

[gpenn2]

[downrodeo2112]

[Cordobike]

MASTERPIECE.

[7ACDCFan]

Just Trance Music. I love it

[ScrewLimbBizkit]

I never understood why they didn't just make this into one big track.

[sputnick21]

You had to have the NASA synthesizer to make music like that at that time. LOL ... to make them work you had to be an engineer (note: the first album was in 1971!) Maximum respect in more than they made me dance in adolescence (in 80 was the most danced in some places) UNIQUE

[DJJAZZYREAVES]

GOT THIS 12" VERSION WHEN IT FIRST HIT THE REC STORES..... ONE OF MY VERY FIRST ALBUMS............

[TheKazumaChan]

[Thorsethflame]

I am 43 and I remember these guys from the 70's and 80's. It actually brings a tear to my eye to here them. I love Kraftwerk

[coolmox00]

[Godscarmachine]

Hey! HighVoltageRobot! What about Abzurg?

[sparky4444444444444]

Electronic music is a very flexible genre, and it's very diverse. wwww

[Bolly558]

Always remember groovin to this in a club in Ibiza way back in 1978. Long before the clubbers etc had hit the island. I was 22 then, into the scene way ahead of time. Having just come off the Wigan Casino Northern soul circuit here in the UK. This mixed nicely into, before or after, a track called The Dancer by Gino Soccio. We were there first . No sleeping, 24 hour party freaks....

[SKOTP69]

Trans AUSTRALIA Express!!!

[dukehines]

these boys were before there time .hell of a group

[YoknapatawphaKid]

HighVoltageRobot...you are a GOD among men for combining these two tracks into one YouTube video. These two MUST be listened to in direct sequence!

[alkh3myst]

@YoknapatawphaKid This is how DJs used to play the tracks together in clubs. Okay, so I'm 950 years old...

[PandoraNYC1]

OMG! Havent heard this song in about 30 years. Thank you sooo much for sharing.

[silo3849]

Thank's H.V.R. for playing the whole copy of this 80's classic. I remember playing this when I DJ ed. My friend DJ nasty nest nestor would work the lights at the club and at 3:30 he would do this funky light show, then I would hit the raid alarm and the place would go nut's. Thank's for the good memories.

[lunupe83]

@silo3849 this is a 70's cut! i first heard it in 77..

[Arimanthael]

Classic!!!! EPIC AWESOMENESS this takes Me back... WAAAY BACK LOL !!! .... thanks for uploading this = )

[djmagiccee]

truth is...when kraftwerk hit newyork at the time hiphop started it was popular with the hiphop dj's we used it for a break...we mixed the beat... and being popular with the street dj they played it on wbls newyork ....when it hit bls then it hits the charts....i don't really know if what came out in the states at that time had any influence in Europe but what came out in newyork usually became a hit.... if it wasn't for the hiphop dj i don't think this record would have been so popular

[malkuth3]

@djmagiccee

Also at that time, there was a certain dance movement on the rise in the streets of NYC that made good use of Kraftwerk's music (the beat alone was copied and saturated throughout early hip hop/rap). Kraftwerk was popular long before hip hop culture got a hold of it. Many of us didn't hear this group in clubs. I personally heard this tune in catholic school in 1977! The Nuns called it washing machine music, LOL!

[electrokinesis]

@malkuth3 LMFAO at "The nuns called it washing machine music." :-)

[Blackdiamondpierre1]

@malkuth3 It was a version of the robot, like east coast poppin'...I took it down to Miami and we added 'soul tranin' to it...this song was very popular in Miami in '77...WEDR...Jimmy G...good days...peace~

[leeharveyosmosis]

@malkuth3

Those nuns sound like the coolest.

[KKumokun]

Remember many a nite zonin' an' dancin' to this one! Hah!  Great memories. Thanks for uploadin' this!

[lunupe83]

The greatest Krafwerk tune ever!! I rocked this in 1977!!

[backupaka81]

This sounds like shit they need to thank hip hop for makiing it sound better.

[shinji1991]

@backupaka81 Don't tell me you don't have respect for timeless classics!

[TheRgordon16]

I remember hearing this for the first time in 77. I was blown away. Even then I thought this song was ahead of its time. Many early rappers owe alot of money and gratitute to Kraftwerk.

[WRI2012]

Witness the very beginnings of techno .....ALL HAIL KrafTWeRK

[NintendoSegaSonyGuy]

Metal on Metal is probably Kraftwerk's best song. The metal hitting metal sounds are spot on, perfect, and just plain catchy.

[Flatron855]

creepy 

[BLUEJACKEL72]

MUCH RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!

[73dodge]

TRULY EPIC! THE true beginning of hip hop.

[ventilatedzygote]

@73dodge did you just call kraftwerk the beginning of hip hop? wow die

[IllegalAmigo07]

@ventilatedzygote someone hasn't done their research. DJ afrika bambaata (since you know everything hip hop im guessing you've heard of him) took the melody from this song and the beat from their other song "numbers" to make the 1983 hit single "Planet Rock", which was seen as helping bring the hip-hop genre to the forefront of the pop charts. not that it matters, hip hop is garbage now

[SupperOfTheMightyOne]

@ventilatedzygote

Why? He might be a little off in his assumptions (no sampling...or rapping), but Kraftwerk WAS a huge influence on dozens of hip hop artists.

[ventilatedzygote]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne I don't doubt that but from everything I've heard, Kraftwerk=transcendent whereas rap=trivial. To say Kraftwerk is the beginning of rap is like saying Beethoven is the true beginning of classical music ringtones.

[SupperOfTheMightyOne]

@ventilatedzygote

If you really believe hip hop music is trivial, then you obviously haven't heard nearly enough of it to judge. Have you ever listened to DJ Shadow, Wu Tang Clan, Nas, CunninLynguists, Madvillain, Deltron 3030, Public fuckin' Enemy FFS? I doubt it. Now go educate yourself, my friend.

[WillShakespeare2007]

@SupperOfTheMightyOne - I don't claim to be an expert on musical genres but as I remember it Kraftwerk started Techno. Isn't hip hop rapping - sorry I do really know as I do not listed to this music - because I am old not because there is anything wrong with it.

[XmegaPresident]

@ventilatedzygote LOL I know right!  That is the greatest insult to this classic!!!!

[Godscarmachine]

@XmegaPresident

Not really.

Not really.

Just because something doesn't appeal to your personal music taste, doesn't mean it isn't at all artistic. While I personal dislike hip-hop, In fact I cannot stand it most of the time, saying that something being part of a music genre you dislike is just a bit distasteful.

While I know that Kraftwerk did start techno and trance, it started and helped many others. And in my opinion, saying they influenced more, meant they were a better band as a whole.

[XmegaPresident]

@73dodge Ummm. No. 

The true beginning to Techno / Trance Music.

[Godscarmachine]

@XmegaPresident

Actually, both to an extent.

Kraftwerk started the Electronica movement in Europe, and CONTRIBUTED to the Hip-Hop music scene in America in the late 70s and early 80s, due to one of Detroit's prominent black disc jockeys playing their music more than frequently on his radio show.

[melitosse]

@XmegaPresident Techno / Trance ? Silver Apples - Oscilations - 1968 ? Just Sayin ;)

[n1n00x]

@XmegaPresident  ya i agree

[Sarcophagus76]

This shit is WAAAAY ahead of it's time. Incredible!!!! Check out the tune Die Roboter...amazing.
