"new" Klaus Dinger finally coming out?

It seems that the last album Dinger was working on, "Japandorf", is scheduled to come out on Gronland in late March, which would be five years after his death.
There is a short promotional film about Dinger here:

In the book Miki Yui mentions, which I have, it states that there are three albums' worth of Japandorf materials recorded. Don't know if all of them or coming out at once, or bit by bit. Anyways, let's hope it was worth the wait.

Was that was the book that was reviewed in the Wire which had loads of his artwrok in?
Slightly mixed review but I do recall there was a picture of a slashed vinyl copy of Neu4! which it seemed to suggest had been sent to Dinger by Cope.
Obviously a long distance and tetchy relationship. Seem to remember Cope saying something about Dinger getting pissed off with him after he wore a Neu! t-shirt on top of the pops and saying he owed him money. Cope sent him a reply saying 'Dinger you ist ein Donger' or some such. Made me chuckle.
If I'm not talking at cross purposes the book looked great I thought.
Never got on with the La!Neu! stuff but would be interested to hear anything that comes out.

Yeah, that's the same book. I'd also have to give it a mixed review. It's basically a collection of pictures (most never before published) with some interviews (also new) throughout. The photographs are often quite striking and the interviews do fill in some of the gaps in Dinger's life (especially when it comes to the bitter breakup of La Dusseldorf). But as a whole, I felt it was more style than substance. It's arranged to replicate Dinger's minimal style, I guess, which means that many times there is just one photo per page. Despite being 96 pages in all, the book feels kinda slight. Especially for its price (50 Euros, I think, is what I paid for it).

Have you tried the La!Neu? Dusseldorf album? I think it's genius, not so enamoured with the rest of them though.

It's coming out- I got sent a promo just before Christmas. It's the last of the three albums that he was working on, I don't know what's happening with the other two.
I only know the classic Neu! and La Dusseldorf albums, so I can't compare it with Dinger's other work, but I like it. It has a true La Dusseldorf feel to it, energetic and playful. Some tracks still feel quite unfinished and demo-like, but thankfully no noodling ambient experiments; if anything it veers towards instrumental pub rock in places!

Anyone got the La!Neu? Live in Tokyo vol.2 CD - what's it like? Think I need some new Dinger in my life.
