“Kling Klang” is a song from the early beginnings of Camouflage.
At the time we were still rather “electronic” and “Kraftwerk” oriented.
The decision for this song was made during a might session developing into an ecstatic analogy and finding special-moog-system-operator Dan Lacksman to be willing victim.

Made In West Germany.
