VIP Interview: Wolfgang Flür

VIP Caught up with Wolfgang Flür, former Kraftwerk Drummer and touring electronic artist, and talked Education, Technology and improbably Hebden Bridge
We also speak to his collaborator and friend Peter Duggal about the art of long distance music-making and putting together a supergroup...

Very interesting, great interview

[@violetstarmusicdivision1509]

I totally agree with you...

[@rocco...]

Wolfgang and Karl were and still are the coolest!

[@violetstarmusicdivision1509]

The members of Kraftwerk are human beings from the future, they were sent back to our times to show us what is REAL music.
They changed my life, we should put their music in millions of capsules and send them in every direction of the universe, just in case...

See my msg above about Wolfgang Flür's birthday

[@TetinKlimente]

I'm reading 'I Was a Robot' at the moment. Superb.

[@novembaer69]

At 4.30 he talks about his former band and says: … the Spirits of Sound,we … They turned this into " Spirits of Zombies"- Great!

[@krollpeter]

I would not use the word "zombies" but of course he's right.

[@franfinesim]

Wolfgang is such a nice and witty person!

[@adolfnoise4673]

Mr. Flür really should do a collaboration with Mr. T.M."Dolby" Robertson where they both get down to their roots with the sound of today. I think they would get along great, both being humble, sensible and knowledgeable.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

the older he gets, the more he reminds me of Cary Grant :)

[@KanalvogtSG]

For me, he looks like Charlie Chaplin, but without the mustache.

[@2150dalek]

Interesting interview. I wasn't sure it would be in English, glad it was.
Hoping to purchase his live performance DJ tunes.

[@SadBnnuy]

You can find them on the channel Wolfgang Flür Archive. There is a playlist of all the dance music Wolfgang uses on his Musik Soldat concerts

Great interview! It’s always so interesting to hear what he has to say.

[@eduardorivera4343]

Wolfgang contributed soo much to KRAFTWERK.

[@LWYRUP05]

Not to the music

[@eduardorivera4343]

@@LWYRUP05 The kick-ass beats!!! The driving force!

[@Wuppie62]

Wolfgang war ein Roboter, ein Musikarbeiter, ein (Kraft)werkzeug.
Wolfgang was a robot, a musicworker, a tool.

[@adolfnoise4673]

@@LWYRUP05 like Keith Moon did not contribute to the music of The Who?

[@JDeolumen]

GREAT INTERVIEW .. tells so much about how to educate the 'real' new talent. It was Wolfgang Flür's birthday on 17th July [72 years and ultra smart.]. I will not add the link, ANYONE can find it with this; U96 + Wolfgang Flür - Zukunftsmusik (English Version) Ground Control 009

[@SadBnnuy]

I hope Roboboy is on Magazine 3
Edit: I talked to Wolfgang and he said he's not releasing it, sad.

[@pierrepochard9418]

Well Wolfgang collaborated with u96 on several songs of the two last albums "reboot" and "transhuman".... The results are great.....

[@victorkorshunov705]

I remember, what wolfgang flur out the mantronix...

[@unadomandaperte]

Find your heart.

Roboboy by Wolfgang and Alexander Young sounds interesting
