"if you read the name daf you probably expect forceful synth bass sounds, snappy rhythms, gabi delgado and leather - but that was all conspicuously absent when deutsch-amerikanische freundschaft released their debut album in 1979. later to find global fame as a duo, daf's 1979 line-up of robert görl, wolfgang spelmans, kurt dahlke (pyrolator) and michael kemner created what was quite possibly the world's first noise-rock album. radical, brutish, instrumental. the influence of can is clearly audible. considering the fact that other prominent noise-rock bands such as chrome, flipper or even sonic youth recorded similar music at a much later date, this "product of deutsch-amerikanische freundschaft" should certainly be recognized as a pioneering work. originally released in 1979 on warning records (later ata tak)."
