Electronic dance troupe Jâgèñflürg were at the forefront of musical innovation; one of the pioneer groups of the electro genre. Their album Leben is considered way ahead of its time, on account of none of the technology existing before its release date. Simply astounding. We log on to Jâgèñflürg's mainframe and ask them about Life (or "Leben"). During the episode, three new songs are generated on the spot, and we also hear how they were influenced by classical composer Tracy Ore's philosophy "Music Is Everywhere". The episode traces speculative futurism and retrospective myth‑making in 1970s synth culture.
