Although a Fairlight sampler was used on that record for the orchestral stabs I doubt even a monster machine like that had enough memory for such a long sample back when that was made. The beats are an 808.

Another great cover version of Trans Europe Express was "Trouble Funk Express" by Trouble Funk


Yeah!!! I play the Trouble Funk version all the time!

Another thing to look out for is the Tommy Boy 2x12 promo called "Don't Stop... Planet Rock" that came out in 92. It has a remix of Planet Rock done by Karl Bartos who was part of Kraftwerk and helped make the original. Simply amazing sounding... *HUGE*

I don't know, man. Look at the dates on the back of their albums.....I mean, 1974??? Listen to what everything else sounded like in 1974, even through the end of the '70s......and then check out anything dance, hiphop, or pop related from the '80s on......and tell me they didn't change it all.
