Wolfgang Flür was a member of the Kraftwerk electro-pop group from 1973 to 1987, playing electronic drums. Flür also built much of the group's studio and stage equipment in his workshop below the band's Kling Klang studio .

Previously he had played a convential acoustic drum kit in the Düsseldorf band The Spirits of Sound . (Another member of this band was guitarist Michael Rother , who also spent a few months as a member of Kraftwerk in 1971, before forming NEU! with then Kraftwerk drummer Klaus Dinger .)

Flür is now the founding member of Yamo , who released an album Time Pie in 1997, produced in collaboration with Mouse on Mars.

Flür also wrote an autobiography, published in the year 2000, called I was a robot , showing the inner workings of Kraftwerk from the beginning. This book met with hostility and litigation from his former Kraftwerk colleagues Hütter and Schneider.
