Krautrock

Label GB

<p>Neu! was a German krautrock band formed in Düsseldorf in 1971 by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother, after their split from Kraftwerk. The group's albums were produced by Conny Plank, who has been regarded as the group's "hidden member". Despite minimal commercial success during its existence, Neu! is retrospectively considered one of the founders of krautrock and a significant influence on a variety of subsequent rock, post-punk, and electronic music artists.</p>

cheap cd reissue on gronland. until the first wave of reissues 10 years ago only a handful of famous and/or connected musicians - david bowie, kraftwerk, add n to x, daf, blur - had heard this relatively obscure album, first released in 1973. stereolab isn't the only group this experimental, minimalist, unsettlingly beautiful germanic duo influenced, though; you can hear traces of suicide's aggressive disco-punk and almost all present-day dance bands within klaus dinger's almost robotic, forceful drumming on 'spitzenqualitat' and the finale 'super'. what strikes the listener most about 'neu! 2', however, is the sheer enjoyment these aural visionaries were deriving from their conveyor-belt grooves: ecstatic yelps of ecstasy sometimes obliterating the percussive din, keyboardist michael rother thumping his guitar like he's the first child on a new motorway of sound which, indeed, he was. tracks are sped up and then slowed down, almost at random. indispensable listening.
