Synopsis

Product Description

Upon the breakup of legendary Krautrock duo Neu!, drummer Klaus Dinger formed La Düsseldorf with his brother Thomas and keyboard player Hans Lampe. This, their self-titled debut, was recorded in 1975 and is a staggering mix of Dinger's trademark motorik rhythms, glammy synths, pulsing organs, and urgent guitar work that altogether create a sound that, at times, predates both punk and post-punk, no small feat. Featuring their European hit single Silver Cloud, La Düsseldorf's debut record is classic Krautrock on par with the best offerings of Neu!, Kraftwerk, and Can.

CD Reviews

A must for fans of Neu!

Roberto Campana | Fayetteville, Arkansas | 01/12/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was so psyched that there are finally legit (albeit pricey) reissues of these classic albums. If you dig Neu! you'll love these spacey-yet-driving jamz. The sounds of planes landing, roaring crowds, and swelling synths all gel with pianos, crystalline melodies and a very Euro feel throughout. Klaus rocks the axe this time, with his bro Thomas and Hans Lampe on percussion and electronics. Comes in a cool mini-LP sleeve with liner notes in Japanese. Also check out "Viva". "White Overalls" from that album is a speaker-exploding overblown mini-masterpiece that just makes you wanna freak out and pump your fists in the air and run all over the place."

Düsseldorf Düsseldorf Düsseldorf!

"If you like Neu. by this! It is simply a continuation of the Neu! approach to music, simply better recorded. The song "Düsseldorf" is at the same time beautiful and hilarious."

Classic Neu! sound

(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you like the Neu!/Kraftwerk "motorik" beat, then you will like this. The songs initially sound the same, but after a few listens you get into it. The final song "Zeit" is my favourite. Its probably not as good as the Neu! albums, but if you are a Krautrock music junkie - and you need another fix - you cant go wrong with this one."
