Trans-Europe Express CD Review

Kraftwerk, 1977.

Purity of sound par excellence.
4 nerdy robotic types - but listen!
Minimalism in melodic and rhythmic motifs.
The birth of the electro-hip hop beat (on the title track - and pop would never be the same again)!
Spooky songs Hall of Mirrors and Showroom Dummies (greeat for working with Year 9s - turn the lights down low and look VERY scary...)
Outstanding vision and realisation of sound.

10/10.
