Pioneering German new wave music: La Düsseldorf's "Time" (1976)

YouTube Poster

La Düsseldorf was a German experimental band formed in 1976 by the late Klaus Dinger, formerly of Kraftwerk and Neu! Their hypnotic, trancy new wave sound influenced everyone from Brian Eno and David Bowie to Stereolab and Sonic Youth. Bowie once described La Düsseldorf as "the soundtrack of the eighties." Above is a video (unofficial) for their stunning track "Time," from their first and self-titled album La Düsseldorf. (via Ben Gibbard)
