    Times feels like a valedictory vista - across time, money, sex and space travel. [May 2025, p.91]

    The best tracks revisit some older collaborations: "Hildebrandlied" is an acid house belter while Belgian techno producer Fabrice Lig hits the synth-pop jackpot with the Pet Shop Boy-ish "Cinema". [May 2025, p.31]

    An album preoccupied lyrically with past, present and future is matched by music that is sleek, chromium-plated, retro-futurist. [May 2025, p.73]

    At least lyrically, Flür is trying to glance forward at the future on Times more than he did on his previous albums, which nostalgically referenced his past. Like his other albums, however, the songs themselves aren't always exciting, as well-produced as they are.

    Ultimately, it's an well-executed update on his storied history. [Apr 2025, p.102]

    This is a digitized, (somewhat) modernized take on the clean, sharp, ultra-stylized electronic pop music Kraftwerk invented. In that sense, it is just like thousands of records that have appeared over the last 40 years. The presence of an OG Man-Machine in Flür at least adds an air of authenticity.
