Our Take

KRAFTWERK's "Trans-Europe Express" reissue on clear vinyl is a truly electrifying experience from start to finish. This iconic album, originally released back in 1977, still sounds fresh and innovative, with its seamless blend of electronic music and catchy melodies.

From the hypnotic title track to the pulsating rhythms of "Metal on Metal," every song on this album is a sonic journey through the heart of Europe. The production is slick and futuristic, showcasing KRAFTWERK's masterful use of synthesizers and drum machines.

One standout track is "Franz Schubert," which cleverly incorporates elements of classical music into the band's signature electronic sound. It's a playful nod to the group's German roots and their love of blending different genres together.

The album is also notable for its thematic concepts, exploring ideas of technology, transportation, and communication. It's a reminder of KRAFTWERK's forward-thinking approach to music-making, setting the stage for generations of electronic artists to come.

Overall, "Trans-Europe Express" is a timeless classic that still sounds as cutting-edge as it did over 40 years ago. This reissue on clear vinyl is a must-have for any fan of electronic music, showcasing KRAFTWERK at the height of their powers. So hop on board and take a ride through the musical landscape of Europe with KRAFTWERK. All aboard the Trans-Europe Express!

Hailing from Germany, these four enigmatic musicians have been pushing boundaries and bending genres since the 1970s, making them true pioneers of the electronic music scene. With their sleek, futuristic aesthetic and robotic stage presence, Kraftwerk have become synonymous with the term "electronic pioneers." But don't let their cold, mechanical exterior fool you - their music is anything but sterile. Combining catchy melodies with innovative use of synthesizers and drum machines, Kraftwerk have managed to create a sound that is both timeless and ahead of its time. From their early experimental albums like "Autobahn" to their later, more polished releases like "Computer World," Kraftwerk have consistently pushed the boundaries of what electronic music can be. Their influence can be heard in everything from techno to hip-hop, making them true trailblazers in the industry. So whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, it's impossible to deny the impact that Kraftwerk have had on the world of music. Their music is a celebration of the past, present, and future - a sonic journey that is as captivating as it is groundbreaking. So plug in, tune in, and let Kraftwerk take you on a journey through the future sound of yesterday.
