Sealed 2009 Kling Klang Digital Master. Although Autobahn Was A Left-field Masterpiece, Trans-Europe Express Is Often Cited As Perhaps The Archetypal (And Most Accessible) Kraftwerk Album. Melodic Themes Are Repeated Often And Occasionally Interwoven Over Deliberate, Chugging Beats, Sometimes With Manipulated Vocals; The Effect Is Mechanical Yet Hypnotic. Overall, Trans-Europe Express Offers The Best Blend Of Minimalism, Mechanized Rhythms, And Crafted, Catchy Melodies In The Group's Catalog; Henceforth, Their Music Would Take On More Danceable Qualities Only Hinted At Here (Although The Title Cut Provided The Basis For Afrika Bambaataa's Enormously Important Dance Floor Smash "Planet Rock").
