Iggy Archive Show 2: Berlin Bound

Another chance to join Iggy as he takes you on a journey through Lieder song, the Weimar Republic, Schlager, Krautrock, contemporary classical and the beat of Berghain.

Iggy delves into the archives for the next few weeks.

This week, there's another chance to join Iggy as he takes you on a journey through German Lieder song, the Weimar Republic, Schlager, Krautrock, contemporary classical and the beat of Berghain.

Iggy also touches upon the influence of this once-divided city on non-German musicians as well as the inescapable soundtrack to his short time there as a resident.

Following the demise of Iggy & the Stooges and some personal issues in the mid-70s, Iggy ended up relocating from Los Angeles to what was then West Berlin for a couple of years. It was during his time there that he worked on music that led to his seminal solo albums The Idiot and Lust For Life.

First broadcast in 2019.
