Neu-4

Requested by Felix. Not their best by a long shot, but still pretty damn good. Out of print and pretty hard to find.

Fly Dutch you bastard!

Neu-75

More Neu!, as requested.

"After splitting the band up, Rother and Dinger eventually regrouped for their best album. Strangely, it's anything but a cohesive masterpiece: Neu! 75 sees each occupying fenced-off artistic territory, the tracks divided fifty/fifty, and the components of the group's music being separated and ushered to extremes. Rother's fascination with texture and harmony results in wintry, crystalline music, frosted by keening analogue synthesisers and pristine lead guitar; Dinger has little patience with all that, and weighs in with two pieces of proto-punk lunacy. The moment at which Rother's painfully hushed Leb Wohl ("Good luck") gives way to the scabrous intro to Dinger's Hero acts as an utterly incontestable argument for divorce. That Dinger proceeds to the utterly insane After Eight, in which two fuzztoned chords pummel it out while the song's author and vocalist sounds like he's flying, bat-like, round the studio, only adds to the impression of barely-managed discord."-John Harris

E-muzakkkk

Neu-Neu 2

More Neu! was requested, so more Neu shall be posted.

"Neu! 2 is one of those rare albums that challenges the very notion of music itself. It scrutinizes the concept of the album, the relationship between the artist and the listener, the producer and the consumer, as well as making the very notion of originality extremely dubious."- Nick Taylor

Fur immer

Neu-Neu

The Genesis of Motorik. Staggering. Everyone from Wire to Stereolab, man up and pay them royalties.

"Neu!,their 1971 debut is arguably the strongest record the duo of Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger made; its stunningly reductionist stuff, rock stripped down to its essentials of pulse and texture, arguably predating techno and the whole post-rock movement by a good fifteen years. It's music with no narrative structure, not much in the way of dynamics - it just is." - Pete Marsh
