[@thomasrios6837]

Kraftwerk never gets old.

[@Mikepecchiore]

100% agreed

[@amandatangney7928]

My daughter is extremely obsessed with Kraftwerk!! Is 13 years old now and has been listening to kraftwerk since she was 1 and a half.

I first listened to Kraftwerk when i was 10, i fell in love with telephone call and radioactivity, about 2 years later i started to listen to their all songs it ended me knowing entire discography... Now i moved to other synthpop bands but Kraftwerk always will be around them.

I know a lot of fans and especially critics did not like this album but this song (especially this remix) is absolutely epic Kraftwerk 🇩🇪 This was the very first song and mix that I heard when I first walked into Starck Club in Dallas in 1987.

[@Kiril.Gagachev]

It's one of my favorites Krafтшerк albums. Didn't realize why critics don't like it.

Thank God for creating Kraftwerk and bring them to be the pioneer of electronic music!

[@jameslechner726]

I think Francois Kevorkian was like the hidden fifth member on these later releases by the original 4. He really took Kraftwerk's stuff into the stratosphere and this is a perfect example of that.

[@fweenerson]

+James Lechner agreed! they even used his remix for the video version ....

[@icysurfer1]

Conny Plank too..?

[@Keesz1]

I rather think that Schult is the 5th member. Kevorkian didn't participate in the actual writing of the songs, while Emil did.

[@Iffy]

As he was for Depeche Mode too

The fathers of modern electronic music. You can go back years later and this is still amazing.

That would be Delia Derbyshire and Daphne Oram.

Karl Bartos as lead vocal on The Telephone Call song is perfect. I don't mean to say Ralf's voice is bad but Karl's voice is kinda 'softer' and match with this song

[@mmkuyt]

I've been a Kraftwerk fan since 1979, and I can tell you, Ralf's voice is not great.

Fabulously Good from beginning to end. This is the reason why Kraftwerk are the Forefathers of Synth-Pop and way ahead of everyone else.

[@deftcoleman0552]

6:17 “We’re sorry, your international call could not be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again.” “Dial again, dial again, dial again” This is my favorite part of the song/remix. Francois K is a bloody genius!

[@coldsharkride]

I was given my first Kraftwerk LP in '75 - Radioactivity. By college, I had an infatuation with Germany, which caused me to learn German and then spend a summer there in a college work-exchange program. Excepting Can, there was nothing like Kraftwerk in the early 1970s and everyone that came after them owe them a debt of gratitude. That first Radioactivity LP literally changed my life.

I still prefering the German version by far. It has something special that the english version doesn't have

[@icysurfer1]

It does. I agree. Could be it was written in German, and this is sort of a translation.

[@lxolxo7]

Or perhaps you are German, and that is your native language. No disrespect. I first heard "Trans Europe Express" in 1984 in English. Bought the album from an older brother of a friend of mine. At the time I couldn't believe he actually sold it to me. Bought the album again when I was stationed in Germany, and yes it is the German version, and yes it is just as dope!

[@algordon9387]

In the description, the first song is labeled a remix, but if I’m not mistaken, the first song is the long official album version of the telephone call, different from the single version, which is much shorter and has been the official version of the song (probably after remastering) since the release of the box set The Catalogue Edit: actually, having now heard the original album version, I see this is the 12 inch single remixed version in the video. I was just confused by the lengths of the two versions being very similar

[@austinslater530]

Yeah they’re very similar but not the same. I WISH the album version had this bass, though!

[@seanotron4559]

Yup.

[@FireStormDel]

I wish it was this longer version of Telephone Call that got remastered/had a remastered release, they only did the 3 minute version when they remastered and re-released everything for their 2009 box set. Though, it may be a case of not having that full version in archive, as well as having to pay for any extra costs for Karl's vocal contribution in that mix.
