Re: Neu!

Good to see another fan of the band.:grinthumb

Being a big fan of Krautrock, NEU! was a band that bridged Rock'n' roll and dance hypnotic beats with an ambient soundscape. A band that doesn't get the recognisition they deserved. Pioneers.

Re: Neu!

I came really late to the Neu! party myself, but I like almost all the old "Krautrock" bands.

Re: Neu!

I must admit I have always had time for TANGERINE DREAM.[:bow:].and KRAFTWERK....
NEU ! [ Pronounced Noy...:oyea: I have been pronouncing them as "New" for years...... are an interesting band. They followed up from the very early KRAFTWERK with avant garde/art/experimental sound referred as Krautrock. I have been curious about NEU! as such great artists like ULTRAVOX were compared to them,and you can hear the influences! [hear tracks]
Listening to the early NEU! recordings Sunny has put up I was amazed one of the tracks sound like JOY DIVISION....and this was the early 70s!!!!
A lot of NEU!s tracks remind me of Brian Eno...
As for Krautrock in general I know Joe has thrown a few obscure in his thread...its definately a type of music I should be looking into .....CAN ,CLUSTER,GURU GURU etc
