La Düsseldorf


La Düsseldorf was a German band formed by the former member of Neu!, multi-instrumentalist Klaus Dinger, his brother Thomas Dinger, and Hans Lampe.
La Düsseldorf released a string of successful albums during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and were considered highly influential by Brian Eno and David Bowie, with Bowie going so far as calling La Düsseldorf "the soundtrack of the eighties". The release of their third record Individuellos was followed by a "years-long legal dispute" with the record company Warner Brothers and disagreements between the Dinger brothers.

Discography

Albums

The following albums were released by Klaus Dinger without the participation of any other band members. Due to legal disputes, the albums could not be released under the La Düsseldorf name, but were subtitled "La Düsseldorf 4" and "La Düsseldorf 5" respectively.
In 2006 Klaus Dinger sought to revive La Düsseldorf properly, but was again blocked by legal problems. He instead chose to release under the name "La-duesseldorf.de" or "Klaus Dinger + Japandorf". This project features only Klaus of the original band.
