Wolfgang Flür – ‘Times‘ (Double Vinyl LP/CD)

The irrepressible Wolfgang Flür, once an essential part of the so-called “classic” Kraftwerk line-up, returns with the follow up to his ‘Magazine 1’ album. Glistening synth pop with Flür’s quizzical vocals takes on the world of 2025 with guests like German techno pioneers U96, Boris Blank (Yello), Thomas Vangarde (ex-Daft Punk), Juan Atkins, Anthony Rother, Emil Schult (Kraftwerk collaborator), and Peter Hook (ex-New Order). With its combination of vintage retro-electro stylings and forward-thinking sounds, the album is a bold statement from one of electronic music’s original trailblazers.
