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 floating 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) 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, the release will be sold either as a special one off Record Store Day limited edition of 100 “Obi Sets” of all 3 records or after 20th April as individual EPs.
