I don't know how the charts work in Germany but, yes, my copy of the first album has a sticker saying "Contains the hit single, 'Silver Cloud'". Also K. Dinger got annoyed with J. Cope for saying 'Silver Cloud' was their big hit because he said 'Rheinita' was a much bigger hit. As for M. Rother, "Flammende Herzen" (at least), sold a lot in Germany.

I've just discovered the self-titled, which is every bit as great as the Neu! albums. Can't help thinking this is underrated, and I should have been compelled to buy it years ago. Viva next.

don't know if they're as great as the s/t neu! albums, at their best they were just about as good as music got in the latter half of the 20th c
damn good nonetheless

surprised there has not been one post on the La Neu! album Blue, which is basically the fifth La D album (Neondian was the fourth). it starts on a weird note but has some real moments of serene beauty ("Lilenthal" is pure bliss) and the extended, presumably live cut of "America" is the hardest they've ever rocked and could easily go on for even longer. I really can't understand why this wasn't released at the time it was recorded!

It's been a long time since I was that confused by anything but my god that's amazing.
What an artefact.
