Wolfgang Riechmann started his musical career in 1966. After playing in a school band with Michael Rother and Wolfgang Flür (who would later join Neu and Kraftwerk, respectively) he then became a member of Streetmark, another Düsseldorf-based band.
Toward the end of 1977, Riechmann began working on a solo project. The result was the LP Wunderbar, which was issued on Sky Records.
Unfortunately he did not survive to see the album's release. In August 1978 he was fatally stabbed in a random act of violence.
