Highly acclaimed
1977 album by influential German musicians
Kraftwerk. Perhaps the most
accessible of Kraftwerk releases, TEE revolves around two main themes:
European optimism and the blurred lines between
image and
reality. The title track has proved immensely important in the development of modern
dance and
hip-hop. This album was much more than merely
Autobahn on tracks.
Kraftwerk: Trans-Europe Express
- Europe Endless
- The Hall of Mirrors
- Showroom Dummies
- Trans-Europe Express
- Metal on Metal
- Franz Schubert
- Endless Endless
The title track is the fourth track on the album. Sampled heavily (and without permission, much to the band's dismay) by
Afrika Bambaataa on "
Planet Rock", TEE was highly influential in the creation of
hip-hop, thanks to its steady
drum machine beat.
