Iggy Archive Show 2: Berlin Bound

Duration: 2 hours

First broadcast: on 6 MusicLatest broadcast: on 6 Music

Available for years

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.
