Das Gnarls Barkley– und Broken Bells-Mastermind, der Mann hinter dem Grey Album und Produzent der zweiten Gorillaz-Platte, Danger Mouse über eine Heldenplatte:

„A record by a hero? Trans-Europe Express by Kraftwerk. The most influential band of the last 30 years. They had such a huge impact on all the hip-hop stuff I used to listen to in the 90ies. Their influence is so important in everything I’ve done, and what I continue to do.

.

Strangely though, it’s not necessarily the kind of music I’d listen to a lot on my own, it just finds its way into so many parts of songs that I love. „Showroom Dummies“ in particular I really loved because I’d never heard anything like it at the time.“
