In the new episode, or should I say the Neu! episode, I had a chat with Michael Rother, of legendary Krautrock pioneers Neu! and Harmonia and ten solo LPs.  I’ve always loved his music, which seemed to birth a kind of radical year zero approach to rock, mixing electronics, experimentation, drones and textures. He was also in a very early line-up of some band called Kraftwerk and we had a really warm chat on a cold morning about his complicated relationship with drummer Klaus Dinger, the new LP Dreaming, which he finished in lockdown and the way in the 70s West German music makers like him made music like nobody had ever heard before.<a href='https://www.michaelrother.de'>Michael Rother’s website</a>Title music by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/___e.s.o/'>ESO</a>Enjoy!
