Danny opens the second hour with a quote from General Patton. Of course he does. They do a superb, in-depth look at the German football scene and how the World Cup has affected Germany’s sense of their footballing selves. Hatchard is a German football expert and gives us the low down on the current state of play over Ozil and how only one young Leverkusen player has come out and supported the Arsenal man. It’s a great, rather serious discussion about the European liberal perspective on national identity and dual nationality, and how complicated it is in Germany in relation to Ozil. Hatchard says how much he hates the very idea of accusing him of having split loyalties. They go on to discuss the state of the Bundesliga and how it needs a title race. This was wonderful stuff and proof that you can do a show which mixes light and heavy without undermining either. Trans-Europe Express charted higher in the United States than Kraftwerk's previous album Radio-Activity by peaking at number 117 on the Billboard Top LPs & Tapes chart.

It is three hours to give European football “its full weight, its full width and its full gravitas”, as Danny says at the outset. And he’s absolutely right. It begins with the host whetting our appetites by trailing all the sweet meats that are lined up for our consumption on the groaning TEE smorgasbord and it sounds like a really belly buster.

The very thought that there is another one waiting for us this Sunday is a very lovely thought indeed. a b Trans-Europe Express (CD). Kraftwerk (digital remastered.). Mute Records. 2009. CDSTUMM305. {{ cite AV media notes}}: CS1 maint: others in cite AV media (notes) ( link)
