Dinger, Thomas

Artist: Thomas Dinger, La Düsseldorf
P: 1982 / 2000
Late drummer from Krautrock band "La Dusseldorf"'s first,and only,solo album. You would describe this as sounding quite similiar, with that La Dusseldorf motorik beat but with a more somber,contemplative mood. The overall tone reminds a bit of Michael Rother's solo output that more or less came out during the same time period (early 80's). Not so much in sound (Rother's is very much guitar driven), but in the slighly melancholic mood that they both share. If you're a La Dusseldorf fan check this out, it's a great release. Rest in peace, Thomas Dinger.
