Hi Andy and mark I’ve just been watching your interview with the legend the godfather of the electronic percussion instruments Wolfgang flur. I’ve ordered his new album and have been listening to on Spotify it’s the most brilliant piece of work since Kraftwerk days so many references to the band that he was part of my first album I bought was Autobahn what a masterpiece I give his new album 5/5 so enjoyable love electric sheep this goes to Florian Schneider clearly dedicated to him and in the interview I cried when he bumped into Florian and made peace with him it touched me great interview guys electronic cafe is a must for me 🤘👍🎵🎶🎹💿🎼

Apologies for my late congratulations on this wonderful interview. Sincerely a landmark interview for the channel with Wolfgang and Peter! Inspiring, driven and genuine humble humans. What a great friendship and collaborative union they have. I spent my childhood like Peter, around Birmingham, the Bull Ring as it was then in the 80’s. Similarly had an Atari 1040 running Cubase synced up to a JX8-P. So know the pains of latency etc. You’ve both surpassed yourselves with this episode, so can’t thank you enough. Thanks guys.

[@electroniccafemusic]

I bought the CD when it came out & I've been playing it constantly for quite a while. I've only just seen this wonderful interview with Wolfgang & hearing him explain how it all came about was great to hear. You guys are so privileged to actually be able to talk one of the masters from Kraftwerk. He's such a nice guy. My personal favourite track is Birmingham. With Claudia Brucken's voice it so totally works. I'm glad Andy McCluskley turned it down. Thanks again for the great shows you put out. It is much appreciated.

There's something for everyone on this album. The electronic landscapes are beautiful and varied. Wonderfully immersive experience that pays homage to the past and looks with wonder and awe into the future of sound. Plenty of chill, plenty of groove.

[@soulsway]

Really cool interview, and funny Peter lives in Hebden Bridge which is my nearest town from Todmorden - so we’re in the same bit of Valley. What was interesting was to be reminded that Wolfgang was the drummer in Kraftwerk, and when you think of all those complex bass drum patterns and skeletal percussions that flowed so effortlessly on Man Machine & Computer World that was all his doing. The nicest thing though was how he chose everything he does at this stage of his life with heart before anything else. I’d definitely have a beer with him!

[@electroniccafemusic]

Thanks Mark. Much appreciated. Indeed. Wolf was such a lovely guy. As is Peter. We were pinching ourselves throughout. Here was a man who was actually in Kling Klang when these pivotal albums were made. It blows my mind. MW

[@davidstewart9463]

To be honest, I spoke to Wolfgang last week and I found him aloof and far from friendly, he even insisted on complete silence in the car from the driver/owner of the venue he was playing at that evening when collected from the airport!😂

[@electroniccafemusic]

To be honest. I returned from Cologne last week and I felt the same in the car 😂 Jokes apart, I’ve met him a few times and have always found him charming…. I even shared a packet of peanuts with him in Brighton last week. English is his second language and personally speaking have always found Peter and Wolfgang to be charming.

Flur in German Helmet reminds me of DEVO's General Boy. Interesting to hear a bit of Flur's history. I would like to purchase what I been hearing on Wolfgangs D.J. shows, but I have a feeling it's all custom per performance.....

Odd that he didn't seem to know the origin of "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" (the titel of the story that Bladerunner is based on). Nice interview though.

[@electroniccafemusic]

In the context of Wolfgang's "Electric Sheep" song - the phrase "do ROBOTS dream of electric sheep" was the concluding line of an email sent to him by Carl Cox's manager which he borrowed and used, not in relation to Blade Runner. Glad you enjoyed interview and thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. Appreciated. MW

[@gorgoncorpsus1277]

So, with all due respect to Wólfgang. In other words. In response to his message in his track entitled “Say “No””, it’s “okay” to “say “no””, to being armed, in event, of a serial killer, or, an armed predator should break into one’s house while being home, only to have his firearm shoved down one’s throat, or, better yet, have succeeded in compromising a family member. Then what? Would you expect that individual to, simply, roll up in a ball and take the shot?

[@electroniccafemusic]

As Wolfgang explained, it’s a song based on the poem “SAY 'NO'", by Wolfgang Borchert written in 1947.

[@MagDiSante]

I don't want to be fussy nor pedantic BUT Kraftwerk are NOT synth pop ... they are a band that compose, produce and play ELECTRONIC MUSIC and they make it in such a way that it ALSO becomes somehow "pop" and dance ... and their influence in pop and dance music of the last 45 years id obviously Huge !!! But once more, they are not synthpop: the synthpop is basicaly POP music produced by synths, samples, drum machines, musical SW, etc ... but it could easily be played by traditional instruments and it would work anyway ... We could actually say that 90% of today's pop music is "synthpop", more or less ... FUrthermore, Kraftwerk reached the TOP of their popularity at the end of 70s, NOT in the 80s ... They actually almost competely skipped the 80s for many reasons and their popularity re-start increasing in the 90s, that are much more KW-related than 80s, indeed !!! Just to be precise, I repeat, there is no polemical tone in my comment :-) !!!

[@electroniccafemusic]

The classic line up was 75-90. Thanks for watching Electronic Cafe. MW

[@MagDiSante]

@@electroniccafemusic of course BUT let's be honest : the TOP of popularity was reached with AUtobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans-Europe Express, The Man Machine ... all they are album from 70s ! Then came Computer World in 1981 and it was a success, too (strangely NOT in my country, Italy ...) but the decade was just beginning and KW have been absolutely "silent" in the 80s ... "Electric Cafe" (that i like very much, actually) was a total flop and it probably was released too late ... We can say that KW came back in the 90s, at least re-starting playing live; but the classic line up was gone . B.T.W. i subscribed to Your channel 🙂
