Viva
The 2nd release from KLAUS DINGER's post-NEU! Krautrock group. Originally released in 1978, this is a stunning combination of washed out synthesizers, swirling guitar work & Dinger's trademark motorik rhythms & accessible experimentation. Feat. the classic "Cha, Cha 2000." An essential record, released domestically for the 1st time ever.

Released in 1980, is the 3rd & final release from these German proto-punk/Krautrock legends. Ranging from ambient to sound collage to motorik synth & guitar workouts,Êthis is a fine feather that is reissued here domestically for the 1st time ever!
