Kraftwerk\u2019s computerized rhythms and deceptively simple beats, which produced such classics as \u201cAutobahn,\u201d \u201cShowroom Dummies,\u201d \u201cTrans-Europe Express,\u201d and \u201cThe Model,\u201d made them one of the most influential bands of the 20th century.  <!--more-->  But Fl\u00fcr\u2019s influence extends even beyond his creative musical talents to include his technological gifts as exemplified by his co-inventing of the first ever electronic drum pad, alongside Kraftwerk founder Florian Schneider, which Fl\u00fcr put to good use both in Kraftwerk\u2019s stage show as well as studio recordings. Now, a new collection of Fl\u00fcr\u2019s solo recordings from the last decade is about to see release in the US on Cleopatra Records October 30.<\/p>\n<p>The collection, entitled Eloquence, kicks off with the highly autobiographical track \u201cI Was A Robot,\u201d which hit #6 on the German club charts upon its initial release in 2004. Immediately following is a stunning quasi-sequel to the Kraftwerk classic \u201cThe Model\u201d called \u201cCover Girl.\u201d In contrast to the cold, calculating compositions of his former band, Fl\u00fcr\u2019s solo work is densely layered and veers more toward the warmth of house music with the catchiness of techno. This collection also features a number of prominent guest producers including Nitzer Ebb\u2019s Bon Harris and Meat Beat Manifesto\u2019s Jack Dangers as well as Pizzicato Five vocalist Nomiya Maki. Kraftwerk fans and anyone looking for some superbly crafted electronic music will not want to miss this exciting release.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>1. I Was A Robot<br \/>2.
