Neu! - Classic or Dud?

To the Cornyfield they fux0r.

does the rest of their albums have the same mix of heavier and and more ambient songs?

these guys like it though: http://mitglied.lycos.de/neuschnee/Discography.htm

NEU! '72 is definately no album you must have, but it's an album which gives an in-depth look at NEU!'s live problems.

Neu '72 is knocking round in my garage.

They do?

As much as I love the Harmonia Live 1974 album, I really really want this to be released. Preferably on DVD. WDR/Dinger/Rother/Grönemeyer, are you reading?

Does anyone else find Neu's drumming a bit. . . corny?

most wrong thing ever posted on ILM?

I bought Neu! 75 this weekend - my first Neu! album; kinda surprising that it took me so long to pick something up by them. I've only listened a few times but I dig it so far. I'm responding more to the second half than the first, but I've not really spent the right kind of time with the first half. Riding the bus to work = not ideal.

If your busride is 30 plus minutes and your headphones block enough environmental sound than I'd say it's a pretty ideal situation to be listening to Neu!

I think I prefer LaDusseldorf

I listen to La D a lot more than I listen to Neu! but I'm not sure which one I prefer. You might enjoy this great clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b48qPmJudE

Gotta love those white overalls...

If only life were this luxurious.

Now you're talking crazy. La D is pretty great, but the first half NEU! 2 is one of the landmarks of the 20th century. Ok, slight hyperbole, perhaps?

So, are Neu! and Neu! 75 vital, must-have discs, or at this point, just interesting historical documents/period pieces?

I've had these discs on an eMusic "Saved For Later" page forever, but I think it's time to fish-or-cut-bait.

are Neu! and Neu! 75 vital, must-have discs

Yes.

Ja! Fish!

(you'll probably play them for the rest of the night ;-))

Good remembrance here:

don't forget Neu! 2

>>I've had these discs on an eMusic "Saved For Later" page forever, but I think it's time to fish-or-cut-bait.

Seems like a no-brainer purchase for eMusic - in fact, I signed up for eMusic last month and Neu! was one of the first bands I looked up! There's only, what, six tracks on each record? In eMusic terms, that's a pretty solid deal. It'll barely dent your monthly track allowance.

Yeah. Truthfully, it won't even do that; I'm sitting on roughly 1500 extra downloads (down from 2000 originally), via these eMusic Circuit City cards (65 downloads per $5 card).

So Neu 75 translates to roughly $.50... yeah, I'd say buy it.

Just another hero

is that even what he's saying? It's what I always here it as anyway

ordered me this as a lil bday present :)

Selling points in press release!

baller move imo

NEU! featured with cover story in the new issue of The Wire. Mike Barnes writes in 'The Unbroken Circle' about the history of NEU! and cites from an interview I recently did with him on behalf of the 50th anniversary of the first NEU! album.

so, is the box worth it? sounding any different than the previous releases?

Haven't noticed difference in sounds but it's a beauty for the collection

Magic Rother and friends gig tonight, they hit the NEU! / Harmonia / solo classics hard, pretty heavy in places too. Vittoria added vocals to E-Musik which surprised me but worked well. Crowd loved it all.

ach, Negativland, I meant

that sounds awesome, hope someone recorded it

was meant to see them earlier this month but got ill :(

this is great:
