Re-release!
With their first album, the German-American Friendship (DAF), which later rose to world fame as a duo, did pioneering work in music: Rober Görl, Wolfgang Spelmans, Kurt Dahlke (Pyrolator) and Michael Kemner created what is probably the world's first noise rock album in 1979. Radical, brutal, instrumental. Real DAF connoisseurs are of course aware of the early phase of the Düsseldorf-Wuppertal band. But most fans of the later world-famous duo would probably be shocked when confronted with their debut: purely instrumental, unstructured noise rock, played by long-haired and moustached bands! A band can hardly go through a more drastic metamorphosis. "Ein Produkt der Deutsch-American Freundschaft" was first released in 1979 on Warning Records (later Ata Tak).
The reissue comes with liner notes by Carsten Friedrichs (Superpunk), rare photos and memorabilia on 180-gram vinyl.
