Product Description

Kraftwerk reached a creative peak on this 1977 masterpiece,whose second side was entirely devoted to a breathtaking aural recreation of an intercontinental train journey. The first side featured the shimmering beauty of "Europe Endless" alongside the eerie, dislocated vocals of "The Hall of Mirrors" and "Showroom Dummies", the latter track demonstrating the band's often unappreciated sly humour. Representing one ofthe pinnacles of 70s electronic music, it was a notable irony that the expressionless and mechanistic Kraftwerk went onto become, via Afrika Bambaataa's sampling of "Trans-EuropeExpress" on his seminal "Planet Rock" single, one of the early pioneers of dance music.

Customer Reviews

Kraftwerk at their peak
Kraftwerk hav a strong claim to be the most influential group of musicians ever to emerge from Europe,possibly excepting the Beatles!!!At the time of TEE,their more obvious disciples were Bowie,Fripp and Eno,and since,well,just about anyone who has touched a synthersizer has learned something from Kraftwerk.Go to any dance club today,and you'll hear Kraftwerk clones and rip-offs non-stop.
TEE shows why,it's their best("Man Machine" being a close second).The highlight is "Trans-Europe Express/Metal On Metal",a brilliant soundscape that really evokes a long train ride-try listening to it on a train and you'll see what I mean."Showroom Dummies" is a danceable song,and "Europe Endless" and "Franz Schubert" return to wonderful soundscapes.
As with most Kraftwerk,TEE is available in German and English-try to get the German-language version.You won't regret it.

pretty damn amazing!
i recently purchased this album and was absoulutely amazed by it!!! it is very melodic with very catchy electronic riffs. when i put it in my cd player i was bombarded with a plethora of amazingness! kapow

buy it now!!!!!

Great electronic music
This is a brilliant album. If you think it will be rubbish as it is electronic you are completely wrong. The electronic voice is what makes Kraftwerk brilliant and unique from other bands and groups. It is worth buying just to see what it's like.
