DUNKELZIFFER Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Emotional Rescue is proud to reissue one of Germany's best - if most underrated - bands.
As the Krautrock explosion of the 1970s came to an end, a new collective was formed from the embers of
the 1970's explosion of experimention and openness.
With an ideal that all members had equal rights to composition and decision making,
Dunkelziffer was formed out of the original sessions that created the classic Phantom Band.
Centred around Dominik Von Senger, Reiner Linke and Helmut Zerlett, the flating line up also
included contributions from Can's Damo Suzuki and Jaki Liebetzeit, as well as The Unknown Cases'
Stefan Kratchen and Reebop Kwaku Baah.
This true "supergroup", over a 6 year period, made 4 ground breaking albums that covered the classic
Krautrock triumphrat of heavy, repetitive drumming, intricate, overlapping melody and sonic intonation,
but added in to the melting pot heavy dub, soul and jazz elements to expand the sound in to the new
decade.
A secret for the likes of DJ / Collectors such as Phil South (Golf Channel / No Ordinary Monkey) and Tako
(Redlight Records / Music From Memory) this timely reissue is as always fully licensed and remastered.
Split across 3 separate 12"s to fully cover the highlights and varied styles of their career, this limited
repress allows a second chance to collect a piece of German Krautrock history. Danke.

Review: Emotional Rescue's latest reissue project sees them collect three separate EPs of collected material from Dunkelziffer, one of Germany's best - if most underrated - bands. Arriving at the end of the Krautrock explosion of the 1970s, Dunkelziffer was formed out of the original sessions that created the classic Phantom Band, and was centred around Dominik von Senger (Golf Channel), Reiner Linke and Helmut Zerlett, but with a cast of floating members that included Jaki Liebezeit, Damo Suzuki, Olek Gelba, Wolfgang Schubert, Stefan Krachten and Matthias Keul. Making four ground breaking albums over a 6 year period, the took their cue from the classic Krautrock triumverate of heavy repetitive drumming, intricate, overlapping melody and sonic intonation, Dunkelziffer added dub, soul and jazz elements to expand the sound into the new decade. The first part features four tracks all fully licensed and remastered; "This Is How You Came", "Q", "Klein Python" and "Network", which all perfectly introduce the group's expansive sound to the uninitiated.
