Rheingold

**Rheingold** was a German synth-pop band that bubbled up from the late-’70s/early-’80s Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) scene, blending icy electronic grooves with catchy, German-language hooks. Hailing from Düsseldorf—a city already famous for pioneering acts like Kraftwerk—they leaned into sleek, mechanical rhythms and moody atmospheres, landing cult hits like “Dreiklangsdimensionen” and “Fluss.” Their sound even slithered onto the big screen, providing the eerie synthscapes for the controversial 1982 film *Der Fan* (a soundtrack later remastered in 2005). Though they disbanded by the mid-’80s, Rheingold’s chilly-cool aesthetic found new life through reissues and nods from modern electronic acts, proving their retro-futuristic vibes were way ahead of their time.
