[5] Dinger's first acquaintance was Kazuyuki Onouchi, who had studied traditional Japanese painting at Tama Art University.

Onouchi was advised by his lecturer Noi Sawaragi to come to Düsseldorf if he wanted to pursue a career in music, which he subsequently did.

She was born in Tokyo, having moved to Düsseldorf in 1994 to pursue a career in installation art, particularly involving ambient sound recordings.

In 2001 Satoshi Okamoto - a keyboard player from Kobe who had previously worked with J-Pop acts - came to Zeeland to join sessions for Viva Remix.

In the meantime, Onouchi and Okamoto began working together independently of the rest of the group, forming themselves into a band they named "sub-tle."

On 21 March 2008 (Good Friday) Dinger died in his sleep after a sudden heart attack, having almost completed the album.

His will left his estate to Miki Yui, and she set about completing the album, writing and recording her vocals to "Spacemelo" amongst other things.

"Udon" is named after a Japanese noodle soup, which Nakao cooked when he joined sessions in Zeeland for "Viva Remix" in 2000.

After eating the meal and drinking tequila around the outside campfire, the band returned to the studio where Klaus picked up a guitar and began playing a riff, announcing into the microphone "now Nakao will tell us how to cook udon".

"Osenbe" was recorded outside at Zeeland near the campfire, with Nakao and Yui providing vocals over Dinger's acoustic guitar before collapsing into laughter.

The album was positively received by most, with Phil Newall of Louder than War calling it "a fitting tribute to Klaus Dinger and a suitable closure for the entire La Dusseldorf project".

4’ is another guitar and drum jam between Dinger and Onouchi, starting on one painfully distorted chord, from which it does not progress for the first three minutes.

Finally, in the closing moments of the jam, the guitar breaks into the most rapturously beautiful four chord motif, releasing all the energy which has built up over the previous nine minutes.

This is a climax rivalled only by the twenty minute version of ‘America’ presented on ‘Blue’, and like that song it quite literally sends shivers down your spine.

It’s the real stuff, the eye watering distillation of sixty years of rock’n’roll in ten minutes.
