"Trans Europe Express" by Kraftwerk (1977)
Was reading about the early days of hip-hop culture before dinner tonight, and was struck by Nelson George's reminiscing about Bronx block parties at which African American DJs would spin this Kraftwerk track, and the spacy synth sounds could be heard throughout neighborhoods. Not the music I'd choose to be blasting through my neighborhood every day, but a quirky enough delight for this summer evening--even if it's just me spinning it, from an mp3 file on the laptop, in the localized neighborhood of my home study.
