The Radcliffe & Maconie Show

Mark and Stuart are joined by German musician and Kraftwerk pioneer, Wolfgang Flür.

He’s here in the UK to talk about all things electronic music – from the past to the future – as well as his new music collaboration with British musician Jack Dangers, who is best known for his work as the primary member of Meat Beat Manifesto.

Wolfgang joined Kraftwerk founding members Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter in 1973 for rehearsals and the group went on to perform as a trio on the German TV show, Aspekt. He remained in the pioneering band until 1987, playing electronic percussion, and counts the Kraftwerk albums Autobahn, Radio-Activity, Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine, Computer World and Electric Café in his discography. He also claims that he invented the group’s signature electric drums used throughout the 1970s.

Plus, there are all the usual features including The Chain and Tea Time Theme Time.
