La Düsseldorf was basically a band formed right after Neu! disbanded after their Neu!'75 record. Michael Rother went on a solo career and Klaus Dinger formed La Düsseldorf with his bandmate Hans Lampe who was a drummer. I believe it went like that although I've read many versions of the line up of this group.
Luckily the most important thing of all, the music, is brilliant! It definitely has clear Neu! influences, but Dinger has developed it into more emotional direction and the whole sound is more packed up than Neu!'s deserted, icy sound was.
Viva has six songs, one of them only being 1½ minute long with bird sounds in it, two 2½ minutes songs that could be easily categorized as a proto punk, two 7 minutes pieces that combines the best sides of Neu! and Dinger's new vision. The final track is "Cha Cha 2000", which is considered as one of the anthems of the whole krautrock movement.
All in all Viva is an amazingly strong display of power from Klaus Dinger that is as influential as any of the albums Neu! recorded - and is quite a compliment! It don't matter whether or not you're interested in La Dusseldorf (or krautrock itself), 'cos if you're listening any alternative music then you'll hear echoes from krautrock (and maybe from this band). You'll never understand perfectly what's the point of alternative music style, if you haven't heard krautrock. Viva is an excellent starting point to expand your visions.
