Trans-X is a Canadian synth-pop band formed in Montreal, Quebec. They are known for their hit song "Living on Video", which was a worldwide hit single.
== History == Trans-X was started by Canadian musician Pascal Languirand, son of Jacques Languirand. He was previously known for his albums in the ambient, cosmic and space music genres. The name of the band comes from the 1977 Kraftwerk song "Trans-Europe Express", which Languirand thought "was catchy and reflected well the direction I wanted to take with Trans-X". In 1982 he recruited Montreal keyboardist and programmer Steve Wyatt as the second half of the Trans-X duo. Together they recorded a demo that got Trans-X a recording contract for a single, "Vivre sur Vidéo".
