NEU! - Seeland

[@ShadabMalik]

Ich gehe eine gepflasterte Straße in Berlin-Kreuzberg entlang, beleuchtet von sanftem Licht, und höre diesen Track im Winter 2023. Ich werde von nostalgischen Gefühlen überwältigt. Es ist, als ob man jemanden sucht, ohne genau zu wissen, wen. Vielleicht wird das, wonach man sucht, in einem unerwarteten Moment der Begegnung klar....

[@curqur-m4o]

Wie die Zeit vergeht... ich bin soo dankbar für dieser Zeit ...

[@henry-me5ly]

Weshalb muss ich mir dieses Album immer mal wieder anhören? Die Antwort istz ganz einfach: es ist einfach genial!

[@diegedankensindfrei4954]

Von Anfang an in den 70ern war und bin ich begeistert von dieser Musik von Neu , Rother ......

[@LJMLJM740]

It's beautiful 👍

Still listening...only this time self quarantine due to a pandemic! Love this song Wow, I’ve been here over a year...here’s what I wrote about this song... Spilling my heart...the power of music... I bought this LP on a visit to San Diego back in I think 1975 in a place called tower records while visiting a very long distance new girlfriend. I was 20, canadian she 20 American and in SD. We heard this song over the store speakers and slow danced to it...it’s what you did back then, all good. I instantly bought the album unheard just for this song...it was the right song for that loving moment (sorry, hard to explain) I was young and this long distance relationship and listening to this song made me look at ways to make the distance shorter...it encouraged me to gain a commercial pilots licence and a thriving and exciting career. It was a great time it was a great era (pre internet) for me. This song soooooo...transports me there...and yes, I’m still in the sky. (I’m 65 now and remain still great friends with that awesome lady (and her family) and she knows that she will always be in my heart...and yes...you really can have life long friends) Ps/ to this day....I still have and cherish the memo that album gives me.

Awesome real life story Tom, just a few years younger than you, live a hour or so north of SD, used to go to several different Tower Records, back in the day, I also bought this album in 75 (went i came out) but I already knew about Neu because of "Hallo Gallo"...cheers

[@kareystone2285]

This song takes me to places I can't describe. The minimalistic quality of this piece is what I like the most. A lone guitar playing in the rain, my German heritage bonds to the essence of memories past that aren't mine but I feel an appreciation for the fact that I can feel them. And it makes me feel neu

[@thewrinklingbrothers]

What a great story.

[@carlosmendes2034]

Fabulous! NEU Forever. Michael Rotther & Klaus Dinger ... double fantastic!

Michael Rother! Pure genius have listened to this song many,many times! Jayne

I was watching Portlandia and she mentioned Neu! I had to Google them. Very cool band... thanks Carrie!

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

1976 die Platte gekauft. Und 40 Jahre später höre ich mir das immer noch an.

[@kareystone2285]

That's tripped out, the translation to English was in perfect Grammer. Rare that two languages overlap like that.

[@Slazlo-Brovnik]

​@@kareystone2285 Random stuff hwich comes to my mind right now: "Geist aufgeben" indeed translates to "giving up the ghost" (Geist=Ghost, auf=up geben=give) I would have sworn that that would never work and that it would be meaningless in english.

[@frankplatt323]

I remember watching over the Baltic sea and listening to this song as my relationship with a German woman came to an end. I recall the feeling of relief as I watched the ringvsink into the sand. I caught the next ferry home

[@kareystone2285]

That sounds like it could be the video to the song.

[@thetrickisirarelyrespond5945]

I remember when you listened to this song and dreamt up that scene.

this is a great timeless track......I cant understand why its not been played more on radio

[@ChinVape]

because radio is mind control broo

[@kareystone2285]

That's because radio sucks

[@zapbranigan5314]

It’s not played more on radio because it doesn’t fit into a ‘box’ ; labeled ‘pop’ or this or that

Hat Conny datt noch gemischt? Absolut gelungen. Fand ich getz noch das beste NEU! Album.1 und 2 waren eher experimentell. Ich meine "Hallogallo" ist der Klassiker schlechthin. Will zurück in die 70ger...

[@jasonmoyer]

If I had to make a "top-10 albums of all time" list it would be really hard to not just include the first 3 Neu! records, the 3 Harmonia albums, and the first 4 Rother solo LP's (i.e. the ones he made with Jaki).

[@lamestudiosinc418]

What about Can? Ege Bamyasi and Tago Mago are both really fuckin' good.

[@jasonmoyer]

Ege Bamyasi is one of my favorite albums of all time. Probably #1 on the right day. I guess this is why I don't make "top-whatever of all time" lists. :D

[@lamestudiosinc418]

@@jasonmoyer Neat! I love Ege Bamyasi and it's probably the best Can record imo.

[@jasonmoyer]

It's great. Lately, for some reason, I've been really getting into Soon Over Babaluma for the first time. I never really listened much to the post-Damo stuff, but the drumming on Babaluma has to be some of Jaki's best stuff.

[@Vingul]

@@jasonmoyer are you familiar with Drums Off Chaos? Good to check out if you're curious about what Liebezeit was up to in his last years. I have a couple of their records (the ones with black covers and strange geometric shapes on them).

[@andchat6241]

Anyone heard OMDs song 4Neu ? ...it's a 'tribute / thanks' to them. And This Song in Particular...

[@TOMinPDX]

Had one OMD album but was never a fan. I will have to check out that track. I first heard NEU! years ago on college radio. In those days I was really into Stereolab & I couldn't believe my ears. I thought Stereolab had a very unique sound but man they lifted stuff straight out of an early 70's German band I had no idea about. I love NEU!

[@andchat6241]

TOMinPDX...'legendary' is an overused word in music ...but I think it's fair to say Neu! were.. I liked (earlier) OMD.. The tracks on KZbin ...OMD did say 'their life began' after seeing Kraftwerk in 1975...who for brief period had k.Dinger & m.Rother as members..

[@humdrumclub3814]

OMD have a song called Sealand as well.

[@andchat6241]

Yes ..they have got a song called Sealand( I had forgotten about that track)- thanks...
