A member of Kraftwerk during the group’s golden era, Wolfgang Flür was the band’s electronic percussionist from 1973 to 1987.
The show includes mind-bending visuals and Kraftwerk masterpieces such as ‘It’s More Fun To Compute’, ‘Pocket Calculator’, ‘Neon Lights’, and ‘Cover Girl’, which was a sequel to Kraftwerk’s number one hit ‘The Model’. It also features tracks from his band Yamo (a collaboration with Mouse on Mars) and latest releases such as ‘Eloquence’.
Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Flür became the third member of Kraftwerk in 1973, replacing a drum machine. He was a member of the group from their international breakthrough with the album Autobahn (1974) and remained as they experimented with proto-techno on albums such as Trans-Europe Express (1977) and Computer World (1981).
Frustrated with the half-a-decade it took to produce Electric Cafe (1986), he left the band after the LP’s release. In 1997, he launched his solo career under the name Yamo and released Time Pie, an album that featured work with the experimental duo Mouse on Mars.
