Neu! (drum, punk, rock, trance, album)

Because what this forum needs is more Krautrock threads.

I`ve been aware of them for a good while now but never really listened to much and never really got them.

I`m listening to Neu! 75 now.

Fucking hell , how did this slip under my radar.

It`s brilliant.

err yeah ... to the 1 or 2 people that bother replying , discuss or something

They sure are interesting to say the least. I'm not sure which album is my favourite, they each are quite unique. I guess Neu! 75 stands out for it's notable influence on punk.

Yeah I see what you mean

After Eight sounds like the Sex Pistols covering a Rolling Stones song

Neu! > Can

I've never actually listened to them but a friend claims Dinger used to be his grandpa's drum tech.

So ahead of their time. Incredible group, though I strongly disagree with the "Neu! > Can" statement.

I only partially loved Can during the damo era to be honest.

I agree with you - Damo didnt do much for Can at all.

The hour-long Krautrock film is fascinating.
We get Holger saying that he ran into Damo for the first time praying on the street and on the spur of the moment asked him if he would like to join a group called CAN and be their singer.

At the first live gig, Damo started off real subdued like, then as if a switch was turned on he goes all emotive.

The actor, David Niven happened to be in the crowd then and Holger asked him what he thought of the music. Niven said he wasnt exactly sure that you could properly call it music.

In that BBC 4 documentary on Krautrock, who is the fellow that relates the story of going to the market to select in-season asparagus with Ralf Hutter of Kraftwerk?
Is that Julian Cope??

Also, of the group, NEU he had this to say: "..somehow found a way to free himself from the tyranny of stupid blues and rock...some sort of a pastoral psychedellism."

Bump...

Suppose I should say something. Uh... kind of ticked about there not being too much live footage and recordings of them.
