Wolfgang Flur stated in this interview that he did not receive any "thank you" letters from music artists for Kraftwerk's influence on music, and that he only received them from his friends. I would personally want to say this to Wolfgang Flur, Ralf Hutter, Florian Schneider, and Karl Bartos: I want to thank you IMMENSELY for all the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that you all went through to create and record the music that you made during your music group's career. Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Rusty Egan That was a nice tribute to a lot of Techno-Pop bands, as well as some other notable bands and music artists that were contemporaries with Kraftwerk, and some that were influenced by Kraftwerk. But where is Lene Lovich in this list? She incorporated Techno-Pop music into her repertoire as early as 1978, in her album, "Stateless". It became more pronounced in Lovich's 1980 album, "Flex", and her 1982 album, "No Man's Land".

I saw Lene Lovich Live in the late 70's I also Signed Jimmy O Neil who wrote Lucky Number his band the Silencers were a kind of Simple Minds Celtic band. Lene had no synths or electronica in her band like Ultravox or Magazine.

By 1980, Thomas Dolby was a member of Lene Lovich's band at that time. I remember watching Lene Lovich in concert on MTV in 1981, and she had an organ player, and Dolby playing the synthesizer and sequencer. Lovich herself referred to what Dolby did was playing "more keyboards" during the concert. As for myself, I always viewed Lene Lovich as a techno-pop pioneer during the time period between 1978 and 1982, when her album, "No Man's Land" was released, and it had the most strongest synthesizer sound in her musical repertoire.

Wolfgang Flur has always seemed to be the most "accessible" of all Kraftwerk members. You can see and tell his "friendliness" in this interview. I don't see too any interviews with Ralf and never one with Florian. Karl remains quiet and a bit "distant," also. Music seemed to be an "outlet" for Ralf, who was definitely "die Intellektueller" of the group. Florian seemed bored at times, and seemed like he didn't want to be bothered - very introverted. Karl made his contributions, but as Wolfgang says, Kraftwerk was Ralf and Florian's "baby." It was great to see and hear this group even in the U.S. We are dominated by the "longhairs," cranking out Blues-based melodies with peeling guitars. The formula stayed the same throughout the decades. The British tried to emulate us, either with The Beatles, Clapton, or Jimmy Page. These German guys looked so "normal," that they were "shocking." I was glad that they could bridge East and West with some lyrics in Russian and English, although they were Germans. Yes, they even sang in Japanese sometimes. Truly an international group with an outlook on "internationality" and "unity." They will truly be missed. But, we all must get old, mustn't we? Wolfgang Flur stands out as the "statesman" for Kraftwerk. I sure would like to improve my German speaking with him. Yes, a "nice," "accessible" person. Way deep down under, he always seems to be smiling. Vielen dank,. Wolfgang, for your musical and intellectual contributions with Kraftwerk and beyond. :)

The interviewer here is actually a very talented and very missed young man named Malik Bendjelloul. He started as a child actor, became a journalist and later went on to film making. He won an Academy Award for his film "Searching for Sugarman", but ended his own some year later. I am glad he and Wolfgang met. Wolfgang is so incredibly warm and intelligent, and when I started listening to Kraftwerk by age 5, it was Wolfgang who was my go to hero, and for many years I assumed that it was he who sang on the records, probably because he looked like a front figure most of them.

Wolfgang Flür is a very kind person , a real gentleman ! I'm a bit disappointed because of how was his situation in the band and that they no longer keep in touch with each other . Just a drummer who done his job . But he did perfectly ! Either way , he has been a part of this amazing band , and he was involved in the creation of their music and the concerts . About the video : The tv-crew was ridiculous and didn't respected him enough , but still they got the best interview of their life . They're very lucky .

I'm on the last chapter of Karl Bartos' book. Over six hundred pages. The book was a birthday gift to me from my daughter. I was shocked since I didn't know the book existed. Karl keeps a good amount of information close to the vest. It's mostly an exploration of his musical journey, the places he hung out and the creative times within the band. It starts out pretty hopeful and almost ends of a sad note. I'm still floored by the amount of classical percussion training he had under his belt before even joining Kraftwerk. His position in the group made him over-qualified. Kraftwerk's style of music didn't allow Karl or Wolfgang to show off their talents. Anyway at my age, I don't know where I'd be without all those wonderful hours listening to Kraftwerk. I have a two year old grandson that loves listening to "The Robots" and mimics the "show room dummies" much to my great amusement. If he's anything at all like his Papa, he'll think back to the days when we shared those special moments listening to Kraftwerk's Techno Pop after I'm gone from this planet.

This is a very good interview of Wolfgang Flur. It provided a lot more insight into what was happening in Kraftwerk in the late-1970s and into the 1980s, and the issues that kept the group from recording and releasing an album at a critical time in music history in the early-to-mid-1980s, as well as into the 1990s. This interview also provided a more deeper glimpse into the human side of Wolfgang Flur, more so than in any other previous interview of him that I have seen. The voters on the induction committee for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame need to watch this interview, and this footage should then convince the members there to vote to induct Kraftwerk into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I would recognise any one of them whatever haircut... especially Florian Schneider and Wolfgang who both have an 'out of time' look which isn't to do with hair or how they dress but more to do with having a look to their facial structure which is reminiscent of maybe the 1920's or 30's and it was a huge part of how I perceived Kraftwerk. It was a romantic vision of Europe in days gone by spliced with beautiful melodies and amazing sounds. I think Florian Schneider is kidding himself if he thinks he can fade into the background anywhere. I don't think any of the original members could but especially Wolfgang and Florian.

It’s was interesting how he described the period during the transition from analog synths and analog/tape recording to digital synths (along midi sequencers/ digital recording, etc. and you had to sync everything up also). He said they spent all of their time just working on the studio and learning it. Sure everything works fine now but what a nightmare it was when things were still developing and things didn’t work. I don’t know about everyone else but the first time being faced w operating digital synths and navigating its menus and pages was a PITA. It’s not like an analog synth with all the knobs right there in front of you. It is a more productive and natural workflow I think, especially for old school guys to just play everything to tape live, just vibe w the track and play - no fighting with equipment and fixing sequenced riffs, and whatever other technical issues you’re faced with. It’s prob why they were more productive in the early years.

I saw him performing live in London a few days ago. after the show I got my original Autobahn vinyl which I found and bought for £1 in a charity shop signed by him :) Now to try and find the other 3 members to sign it too. Where the hell do I start? It's just not gonna happen is it :(

What R&B was to white pop in the 50's, 60's & 70's rock/pop music, Kraftwerk is to everything 80's on... no doubt
