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

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.

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?

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.
― pgwp, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:21 (sixteen years ago) link
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!
― willem, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:25 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I prefer LaDusseldorf
― I know, right?, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:26 (sixteen years ago) link
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

If only life were this luxurious.
― pgwp, Thursday, 3 January 2008 23:53 (sixteen years ago) link
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?
― Bill in Chicago, Friday, 4 January 2008 02:29 (sixteen years ago) link
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 and Neu! 75 vital, must-have discs, or at this point, just interesting historical documents/period pieces?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.
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 8 August 2008 20:32 (fifteen years ago) link

Yes.

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

>>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.
― pgwp, Saturday, 9 August 2008 19:25 (fifteen years ago) link
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).
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 9 August 2008 19:30 (fifteen years ago) link
So Neu 75 translates to roughly $.50... yeah, I'd say buy it.

You mean me? I wasn't trying to be a jerk. Sorry if it sounded that way.

And yeah, I'll pick up both discs today.

Should also say here that the midsection of the 88 BoaDrum performance last night was audibly a mega-Neu! homage, in fact the best damn tribute to Klaus Dinger's impact imaginable, specifically thinking of how it reminded me of "Lila Engel" in its blend of slabs-of-feedback percussive chime and huge drum punch. So no, not historical documents at all, not when 88 drummers from all sorts of bands are pounding that out.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 9 August 2008 20:57 (fifteen years ago) link
No no, he's referring to the lyric of the song "Hero" from Neu! 75.
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 9 August 2008 20:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Ahhh. Got it.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 9 August 2008 20:59 (fifteen years ago) link
>>Should also say here that the midsection of the 88 BoaDrum performance last night was audibly a mega-Neu! homage
Yes, I had the exact same thought.
Also, I just took my own advice and downloaded the first Neu album from emusic.

The Astralwerks reissues were out of print and got hard to find, but a nice surprise this weekend, I saw they're all reissued by Gronland, same 2001 remaster.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
if i recall, gronland was working on this at the time the astralwerks reissues came out. the web site was always kinda vague about where they were on that, which in a weird way seemed appropriate. keeping with the neu! "confused enough yet?" stylee. so did the gronland thing just now come about?

On my cd's it says: "2001 Grönland under exclusive lizenz to EMI Electrola GmbH - Remastered in London" (I bought them in 2001/2)
― willem, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 20:05 (fifteen years ago) link
Earlier this summer I tried to upgrade my old bootleg version of the first album with the remaster, and it simply wasn't available. One used copy could be had for $34 on Amazon.
The reissue is distributed and marketed by High Wire Music via Fontana Distribution, and came out August 26th. $13.99 at Reckless, yay.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 2 September 2008 21:20 (fifteen years ago) link
Fuck I thought I was kinda over Neu! like they were too sleek and cold, I preferred La Dusseldorf and Harmonia to this. But Hallogallo came on early and it just sounds like clouds of dust left behind. Its almost not there. It kindof overshadows everything else though....
