Ein zeitloses Meisterwerk. Auch 2022 absolut höhrenswert. Neu!, Kraftwerk und La Düsseldorf waren/sind mehr als nur experimentelle Klänge. Nichts für den schnellen Genuss, sondern Musik, die im Kopf verarbeitet wird und dort Spuren hinterlässt.

[@CabalWFM]

Danke, du sprichst mir aus der Seele...

[@henry-me5ly]

@@CabalWFM Vielleicht empfinde ich das nur so, aber anscheinend gibt es so etwas in der heutigen, schnelllebigen Musik nicht mehr. Ein Hit nach dem anderen wird am Computer produziert, danach verschwinden die Protagonisten in der Versenkung. Nach ein paar Jahren kann sich keiner mehr daran erinnern und vermisst werden diese Stücke auch von niemandem. Für mich sind Neu! etc. ganz nah an der Klassik. Eben zeitlos!

[@CabalWFM]

@@henry-me5ly Hallo Henry, genau so empfinde ich es auch. Ich hab ungefähr noch über 500 LP´s und wie oft habe ich mit meinen Kumpels ne platte angehört und jetzt ? niente... viele meiner Freunden sind alt, weggezogen oder gestorben... am ende werden wir alle alt und es Interessiert die junge Generation die alte Musik von früher nicht mehr. Die meisten wollen Influencer/rin werden. Und beim Handwerk ist es genauso...

Brain records. A gift to the world. German rock -- nothing like it. Neu! best rock band you've never heard of. Not surprising they'd go on to work with that other genius, Brian Eno.

You're thinking of Cluster, not Neu!.

[@benmcconaghy3313]

I only 'discovered' Neu this year! Thank you BBC Radio 6. I am 54 years old and I am hearing Hallo Gallo for the first time. It is clear that these guys were producing works of genius. Timeless music that speaks straight to the heart. This is what it is to be human: Neu.

[@nickmk1]

Hello Ben, do you know something about La Düsseldorf or Michael Rother. If not, please listen to it. Klaus Dinger, member of NEU! plays also at La Düsseldorf together with his brother Klaus Dinger on Drums. Michael Rother´s Flammende Herzen (Flaming Hearts) and Sterntaler are nice to listen.(He plays guitar at NEU! Jaki Liebezeit (Can) plays the drums. NEU! and La Düsseldorf are from Düsseldorf, just like me. You will enjoy it. Greetings from Düsseldorf,Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany. Electriccity

[@garycremin7054]

They were re-writing the music rule book

[@snapsnappist4529]

@@carnmarth334 I wouldn't go that far. The first and third albums are pretty much perfect. Side 2 of the second album is the way it is because the record company ran out of money so they used it as an experiment. The fourth album isn't really canon. The sessions were abandoned and it was never supposed to be released. Even the "official" 2010 reissue is a salvage job.

[@dumpygoodness4086]

fun fact! google's placement of ads is illegal FRAUD and arguably even harassment, and other criminal statutes. EX: I once listened to the Velvet U's first album on YT, and they placed an ad 20 seconds before the end of EACH song! They have the tech to have placed them in the gaps tween songs, but the GOAL is criminal intent: to bully each of us to "upgrade" to YT RED with no ads. The Richer a company gets, the more aggressive they become to exponentially increase their riches. (they gotta up the dose!) Heck, half the ads on YT are.... in house GOOGLE ads! (Meaning, no one paid them to place an ad there, so they gratuitiously made a wide variety of fake ads to harass us into submission.)

Happy Birthday to one of my favorite guitarists and musicians, the experimental and innovative Michael Rother. Neu! '75 is my favorite of his albums, especially the opening two songs "Isi" and "Seeland". I also highly recommend his solo albums Flammende Herzen, Sterntaler, and Katzenmusik.

Fine album, better than the debut. One of the most innovative and influential recordings. One can hear the seeds of Post-Punk and Post-Rock here.

[@logonazo]

that was because they had Conny Plank's new owned studio, so they can stay much more time recording their songs,...their first LP was recorded in 2 nights for instance, and in their second album they cannot finished it and ocupied the entire side B with remixes and experimentatios of an early single of them...so this band is a miracle in more than a way...

OprichnikStyle Si es Rock.

[@logonazo]

ramón roca si nos basamos en la definición de un estilo musical Pop (pop en el sentido de música popular, donde cabría desde el Blues, el Jazz ...hasta el rock con todas sus variantes , en incluso en musica clasica, un vals por ejemplo) por su tipo de ritmo, todo el tecno, house, electro etc no serian mas que derivaciones de un ritmo 4/4 del Rock o como el clásico que aquí escuchamos de NEU!, por lo tanto hay una gran influencia Rock en Kraftwerk obviamente, lo que ocurre es que aquí no hay un interes por la melodia precisamente, sino en las posibilidades de las texturas sonoras, pero como digo todo normalmente bajo ese patrón ritmico 4/4, si quieres saber lo que es electronica de verdad empieza escuchando lo que hacia Stockhausen en los años 50 o lo que hacia Pierre schaeffer en los 40 ( música concreta, music tape, música para cintas) o mas recientemente y fuera de ese academicismo en el que tambien se convirtio la electronica al paso de los años, a Conrad Schnitzler, hijo de la misma epoca que vio nacer a Tangerine dream Cluster o Kraftwerk, pero eso si, dejate llevar y aceptalo tal como viene, porque si vas a esperar escuchar lo que tu y muchisima gente llama electrónica te vas a llevar una decepción y lo entiendo,...pero estas cosas son así vaya.

[@doceunodoceuno]

Álvaro Vega Joder Álvaro, que capacidad para deducir cosas... solo he dicho "entre el rock y la electrónica" y menuda película te montas.Llevo toda la vida (y ya tengo muchos años) escuchando rock y electrónica... como todas tus deducciones sean así...

[@doceunodoceuno]

ramón roca Respecto a lo que comentas... no sé qué decirte, la verdad es que no acabo de comprender muy bien qué es lo que quieres decir: ¿que lo de este disco es rock? ¿que no lo es? ¿que es electrónica? ¿que no?... quizá quieras decir que lo que yo llamo música electrónica no lo es, o que la llamada música electrónica no lo es en realidad. No sé exactamente qué quieres decir.Si te fijas, apenas hay un par de comentarios, y uno es para decir que "no es rock", y el otro para responder "Sí es rock". Para mí es rock (en sentido amplio), obviamente. Y también es electrónica (y muy buena), y además electrónica que a diferencia de mucha de su coetánea, ha envejecido muy bien.
