La Düsseldorf was the German project founded in 1974 by drummer, guitarist, and singer Klaus Dinger, former member of Kraftwerk and Neu!. The band was completed by a series of musicians, including Nikolaus Van Rhein (keyboards, synthesizer) Thomas Dinger (vocals, percussion), Hans Lampe from Neu! (percussion, electronics), Harald Konietzko (bass), and Andreas Schell (piano).
La Düsseldorf was one of the most representative bands and ultimate survivors from the krautrock scene. The band recorded three legendary albums in a period of seven years, produced by the legendary Kraftwerks producer, Conny Plank. The bands debut album La Dusseldorf was released in 1976 and it included the funk track Silver Cloud, which surprissely reached the top charts in Germany. After two years of innactivity and after the recognition of their influence by artists like the Sex pistols and David Bowie, the band released their second work Viva La Dusseldorf! in 1978, reaching the German top charts again with the instrumental track Rheinita.
One man All-made record-excavator into the deep limbo of egoXploitation. —Features 43 min. of decadent loco self-conduct & mystifying woodoo'lectric playing, directly dropped down from the sole complexion of individual force as a plural human's sonic concoction, the alone-lineup that never existed but in the incarnation of one : Full-Blown Expansion.
