A heavy influence on artists from Daft Punk to Kanye West, the true impact Kraftwerk‘s music can’t really be be overstated.
A huge part of the phenomenon is the accompanying, mind bending visuals.
Upon leaving Kraftwerk in 1997, Flür formed the band Yamo and released the album Time Pie, a collaboration with Mouse on Mars.
Wolfgang Flür’s solo show MUSIKSOLDAT comprises all of the now standard components combined with sharp aesthetic and relentless efficiency and this is the show he’s bringing to Wigan in February 2020.
