La Düsseldorf

Upon the breakup of legendary Krautrock duo Neu!, drummer Klaus Dinger formed La Dsseldorf 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 Dsseldorf's debut record is classic Krautrock on par with the best offerings of Neu!, Kraftwerk, and Can.
