Dunkelziffer – Colours & Soul (1983)

 

A varied New-Wave and experimental band and part of a family of Krautrock-related acts from Cologne, "Dunkelziffer" were formed in 1981 involving members of Phantom Band and musicians that have collaborated in various Can-related solo projects.

Their first LP still misses Can's Damo Suzuki, but another world famous musician takes part: Reebop Kwaku Baah, percussionist of Traffic and late Can.

Also in 1983, this bunch of musicians founded 'The Unknown Cases' and recorded the hit 'Masimba Bele'.
