LA DÜSSELDORF - S/T
For all the attendant frustrations when the odd scheduled reissue gets pushed back (we'd be looking at you if you weren't such a distant speck, Crazy Rhythms!), Water sure are thorough, licensing swaths of interrelated artists/albums in one fell swoop, as they have with the kosmische rock of Cluster/Kluster, Harmonia, Michael Rother and, now, Neu! partner Klaus Dinger's own vehicle, La Düsseldorf. La Düsseldorf and white-overall-clad successor Viva are as worthy a part of the late Dinger's legacy as the Neu! trilogy, expanding on 75's whisper-to-a-sneer Side B with utopian screeds spurring a new German consciousness, canned football cheers and all.
