Description

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question.   OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us.  Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.   Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable.  We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 22+,000 positive feedback.   We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.   We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

  7. Sought Krautrock La DUSSELDORF (first LP) legends
  8. (ex-NEU!)  ... 

  10. NEU! split in 1975, drummer/guitarist Klaus Dinger took the remnants of  the pioneering KRAUTROCK band, and with only a few minor adjustments, re-emerged the very next year as La DUSSELDORF
  11. at the wheel of a shiny new musical machine named in honor of Dinger's  hometown on the river Rhine.

  12. How's this for civic pride: a band from the city of Düsseldorf, calling itself La Düsseldorf, with a self-titled debut album on which the first two tracks (filling all of Side One on the original vinyl) are named "Düsseldorf" and "La Düsseldorf". And don't forget the lyrics, for the most part an endless repetition of the mantra "Düsseldorf...Düsseldorf...Düsseldorf...Düsseldorf...", all of it reproduced ad infinitum on the enclosed lyric sheet. It's enough to make the local chamber of commerce stand up and cheer.

    Klaus Dinger was always the more hard-boiled half of the pioneering NEU! duo (alongside the pony-tailed hippy benevolence of MICHAEL ROTHER), and the one responsible for the band's trademark motorik beat, refined here to the relentless perfection.

  14. La Düsseldorf may have broken stylistic ground, with stripped down rhythms, yet were a breath of fresh air in an age of increasingly hyperbolic virtuoso overkill.

    Check out the unique instrumentation: two drummers working in lock-step syncopation, and a lot of chiming electric guitars, with no soloing allowed. The bass player is only an occasional guest, and the sparsely utilized "synthies" (quoting the album credits) add a shimmering veil of colorful highlights.

    None of the music is improvised (although you might be forgiven for thinking otherwise), and the mood is more upbeat and brighter than the typically dark counterculture excursions of most classic Krautrock, often building to an ecstatic, exhilarating climax. Lend an ear to the (first) title track, and to the album closer "Zeit" ("Time"), in which Dinger alternately whispers and wails in three languages over an escalating series of clockwork rhythms. 

  16. The album even yielded a surprising hit single (in Germany): the toe-tapping instrumental "Silver Cloud", the title by the way an apt description of the music.

    Listening to the album is like taking a long road trip, where the journey itself is the final destination.
