About this item

New studio album from Kraftwerk member circa 1974 to 1986.

• Featuring many big name synth-pop and dance music collaborators including German techno duo U96, Boris Blank (Yello), Thomas Vangarde (ex-Daft Punk), Juan Atkins, Antony Rother, Emil Schult (ex-Kraftwerk collaborator) and Peter Hook (ex-New Order).

There were four members in Kraftwerk’s often mooted classic period from 1974’s ‘Autobahn’ to 1986’s ‘Electric Café’ and Wolfgang Flür was one of them, the band’s erstwhile electronic percussionist.

Wolfgang Flur’s subsequent and celebrated emergence as a solo, creative electro-pop tour de force has been steadfast and determined. His early life’s musical immersion in Kraftwerk instilled a dramatic electronic / synth sensibility which has become, in his highly productive later life, a gift that keeps on giving with a dependability and surprise factor that has eluded many of his contemporaries.

For now, he holds the torch for the continuing creativity of his generation of electronic music pioneers: inspiring and entertaining, while still pushing boundaries within his unique oeuvre of highly melodic, narrative led, retrofuturism. His music is immersive and though he grapples with the accelerated passing of time and the rapidity of changes therein, he does it with a celebratory optimism; a relentless, infectious hope for humanity.
