Dirty Dinger

 

Die Engel Des Herrn ‎- Die Engel Des Herrn [LSD 2.000-2 DEU 1992 FLAC]

I own the blue vinyl pressing of this rare self-released album, the pressing quality is rather poor. There was also an even rarer compact disc, most of which were shipped off to Japan for Captain Trip Records. After years of searching, I have finally tracked down a copy of the original limited German release - which sounds much much better than my vinyl.

This was Klaus Dinger's comeback album after years in the doldrums following numerous failed attempts to revitalise his career. Only 1000 compact discs were ever pressed and those not given away to family, friends, press etc were sold via mail order. 

As with most post-Neu! Dinger work, expect an eclectic blend of motorik-beat choral symphonics like the title track and the excellent Tschüs, and messy punk stompers such as Little Angel and S.O.S. The album is let down by the awful schlager-pop of Bitte, Bitte!. As a treat (sic) we also get two unnecessary arrangements of Cha Cha 2000 - the twenty minute closing motorik-kraut-punk jam Die Bengel Des Herrn was exclusive to the compact disc.
