Euro Express

Product Information

If you’ve not taken three hours out of your life to listen to it, please do. Even if you’re not a big European football fan, it doesn’t matter. It will pull you in and it will become your friend. Danny Kelly, Rob Daly and co have such an encyclopedic knowledge of all the goings on – perfect Sunday night radio.’ In mid-1976, Kraftwerk began to work on the album which was then called Europe Endless. [5] [6] Paul Alessandrini suggested that Kraftwerk write a song about the Trans Europ Express to reflect their electronic music style. Hütter and Schneider met with musicians David Bowie and Iggy Pop prior to the recording, which influenced song lyrics. Maxime Schmitt encouraged the group to record a French language version of the song "Showroom Dummies", which led the group to later record several songs in French. The album was recorded at Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf. [6] Artistic control over the songs was strictly in the hands of members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, with Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flür contributing sequenced electronic percussion. [7] Kraftwerk went to railway bridges to listen to the sounds the train would actually produce. The group found the sound the train made was not danceable and changed it slightly.

The nature of how they deal with all this info is key to the enjoyment. It’s obviously based on loads and loads of research, but what is clever and enjoyable about it all is that they interact with each other in the way any of us would when talking over a few drinks. So it’s far more structured than a rambling discussion, but way less formal than pure journalism or reportage. A perfect balance.

But as ever, with TEE all this knowledge is very light. This isn’t high-brow in the slightest and is all very informally done with Danny the able ringmaster as ever. Trans Euro Express is currently broadcast at 9pm on a Sunday evening on talkSPORT 1 for a full three hours, right up until the witching hour – or Monday, as we more fearfully call it. It’s been a movable feast on the radio station for a couple of years now, always on a Sunday sometime from 7pm to 10pm. But this year, it’s settled down to the 9pm slot which is perfect for the end of the week. Pour yourself a few large ones, put your feet up and get with the European programme.

I think this is its third year and it has never been better in its new expanded format. While many of us regretted the slaying of talkSPORT 2’s European Football Show with Andy Brassell, it would seem TEE was the beneficiary by getting their extra 60 minutes and Mr Andy B too. So all’s well that ends well, which is also the title of a very good live album by Welsh stoners, Man. This is something Danny Kelly himself would know, of course, and he would happily play something from it if it linked in with the show’s weekly musical homework. This is one reason why we love it.

Trans-Europe Express was originally released in March 1977. [31] With the help of Günther Fröhling, Kraftwerk made a promotional music video for the song " Trans-Europe Express". The video features the group wearing long coats on a train trip from Düsseldorf to nearby Duisburg. Photo stills from this video were later used on the single sleeve for "Showroom Dummies". [28] Fröhling would work with Kraftwerk again on their album The Man-Machine doing the photography for the album cover. [32] To promote the album to the press in France, EMI Records hired a train with old-fashioned carriages from the 1930s to travel from Paris to Rheims while the songs from the album were played over the train's announcement system for the critics.

Tim is in Brazil and contributes each week. He’s talking all things Copa Libertadores and how the last eight could be all Brazil and Argentina sides. He also chats about how Uruguayan football clubs and players have fallen out with its FA which is mired in corruption and how the national management is in disarray as a result.
