Reifenstahl Secret Weapon Appears (Die Wunderwaffe) [SSZ3077] Japan Music CD

Product Description
Media Reviews and More The D?sseldorf-based band Reifenstahl, who debuted on Ink Records, have their first-ever reissue! Their band name is a play on the name of Leni Riefenstahl, known for directing Nazi films, and means "worn-out iron." Produced in 1981, this album, "The Secret Weapon," is Reifenstahl's first album, blending various elements from progressive rock to Bach, reggae, and funk, with electronics, pop, and a touch of horror. (C)RS About the Artist [Reifenstahl] Formed in 1979 by Gerd Gaida, who rented out PA systems in D?sseldorf, and his classmate and teacher, Matthias Rapp. After releasing their debut single on Ink Records in 1980, they released their full album, "The Secret Weapon," the following year, 1981. Later, Michael Reinhardt of Crooks and Mike Schmidt, the label's owner, joined, bringing the band to four members, but they disbanded once. In 1984, the second iteration of Reifenstahl was formed by Gaida, Reinhard, and Schmidt. They released the album "Rex" in 1986 on "Der Produzentenklub," the successor label to Ink Records, before going on hiatus.
