You hear their influences everywhere. Hell, Wilco's "Spider" features a classic driving Neu! beat.

The best tapes are the Kraftwerk live boots with the Schneider / Dinger / Rother lineup, right before D&R spun off to form Neu! An appearence on the TV show 'Beatclub' called 'Rückstoss Gondolero' and the live in Cologne tape, June 12th 1971. They were all collected on a vinyl bootleg called 'Ruckzuck' last year. The Cologne tape is ultra-low-fidelity but the music is incredible.

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

― 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?

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 and Neu! 75 vital, must-have discs, or at this point, just interesting historical documents/period pieces?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

Yes.

>>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.

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.

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.
