I dig the ingenuity, the innovation of the obsolete object, the fork-in-circuitry beats, all of it! The whole fuckin' vibe is one of the best and most logical celebrations of Kraftwerk's timeless legacy since John Fox's "Metamatic" or Drexciya, and I should know, I'm a Kraftwerk junkie. I have two sons, aged 4 and 9, and they have a little boom box in their bedroom that alternately kicks the mighty KW, Devo, Afrika Bambaataa, Ramones, Killing Joke, Run DMC, African Headcharge, Black Flag, etc. Kids connect with stuff that's direct, evocative, idiosyncratic and instantly memorable. Anyway, my older boy wore out my vinyl copy of Trans Europe Express, I kept having to play it over and over as he built makeshift trains out of chairs and pillows. Now, all he wants to hear is your version from 8 Bit Operators. It is brilliant, taking the essence of the track and retooling its DNA, something all great covers should do. Not to diminish your original material, it's bad ass and also "psychedelic labcoat," just thought you'd appreciate hearing about an unjaded reaction from an innocent yet knowing pair of ears.
