@73dodge Ummm.  No.

The true beginning to Techno / Trance Music.

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!

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

[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 :-)

@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.

@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 !!!
