La Düsseldorf

La Düsseldorf is a German band formed by Klaus Dinger after his work in Neu!. The group released the albums La Düsseldorf (1976), Viva (1978) and Individuellos (1980) and is associated with krautrock and early electronic/new wave sounds.

Klaus Dinger formed La Düsseldorf following his role in Neu! (with Michael Rother). The band's work is frequently described as part of the krautrock movement and bridges experimental electronics, repetitive 'motorik' rhythms and pop elements.

La Düsseldorf is presented as a seminal krautrock project led by Klaus Dinger. The 1976 debut is praised as timeless; Viva is celebrated for its energy and 'Cha Cha 2000'; Individuellos receives disappointment in one review. Overall the reception is mixed but attentive to the band's importance.

For:Listeners interested in krautrock, experimental 1970s rock, Neu! fans, and those exploring Klaus Dinger's work.
