Unless another collaboration has been released in the meantime, i believe it is with the fabulous hip hop group Dalëk, which you should also check out individually as they are probably one the most exciting hip hop outfits of the moment.
And the collaboration itself, although not perfect, is pretty damn brilliant.

I am pleased that there is another big KD fan out there, but apart from that I disagree completely. For one, K.D. was not crazy or mad, if Michael Rother makes him out to be and gives more interviews than Dinger that doesn't make it so. Rother, for me, is the more egocentric of the two, he is too stuck up about the NEU! releases and only talks about them and Dinger now that he is dead.
Secondly, Viva 2010/Viva Remix is not writer's block! I have heard one track from the upcoming album on the now deleted compilation 'Mon Amour'. Geld 2006 is MUCH better than the original, and thats saying something. The original Viva is my favourite album of all time, and yet Dinger somehow made it better. The fact that he returned to the themes of his earlier work doesn't mean he ran out of ideas. If Miki Yui is to be believed then there are also 2 more new albums being released soon. One is 'Japandorf.com' and a track from it can be heard on the NEU! tribute album 'Brand NEU!'. The track, Sketch 1_08 must've been one of the last tracks Dinger recorded and it is also one of the best. I am more than excited about the new albums!
La! NEU? in my humble opinion is also one of Dinger's best. Cha Cha Live is undoubtedly the best album overall, but there are some real gems in their catalogue. 'Year of the Tiger' for instance, is as damned good as any Dinger album. After a short introduction we get 'Autoportrait Rembrandt', a track that comes closer to TRUE motorik than anything by NEU!. The final track 'Notre Damme' is a soothing indo-beat jam much more La D. like in texture, but as with Autoportrait, it takes the idea to its logical conclusion, resolving Dinger's past and looking forward. At the same time as YOTT another, completely different, album was released: Goldregen. Aside from Cha Cha Live, Goldregen is probably my favourite la! NEU? album. All of the proffessional sounding effects, synthesizers and studio work is taken away leaving an entire album of ambient piano/harmonium/violin/vocal jams. Tracks such as 'Langweg 27. Mai' and 'Langsam Bewigt, aber nicht Traurig' show the heart of Dinger, we pull off of the autobahn and into a layby for a while, just watching the rest of the world go by. The other la! NEU? albums (Dusseldorf, Zeeland, Live Vol. 2, Live at Kunsthalle Dusseldorf) each have one or more immensly amazing songs, and are each definately worth owning. Also there is Dinger's unreleased second solo album, 'Blue', which I would rate as his second best studio album, and two albums by the slightly cliched 'Die Engel Des Herrn' which are nontheless both worth owning.
I do not exaggerate when I say that Dinger never made a bad album, and await the three new albums hungrily!

i never did check it out! Just been listening to a bit of Dalek since you brought the thread up and they remind me a bit of Saul Williams in their delivery, which to me is a good thing.
