Pioneering instrumental rock which later came to be known as "kraut rock". Songs ranging from the most blissful, epic, ethereal to experimental musique concrete-ish reworkings. Their best songs are some of the best music I listen to. They released three albums during their original life span - Neu!, Neu! 2 and Neu! 75 - all of them are recommended. This is an appreciation thread c",) |

sounds like some einstuerzende neubauten ripoff |
||||||||
|
|

no |

EN were at kindergarten or still at scholl when Neu! were recording Neu!, Faust, Can - great pages of german music history |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wicked - i know a lot of EN and can but have never heard of neu!. must have missed this page. what should i start with ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
start with Neu! then go to Neu! 2 then Neu! 75. in that order. it makes sense. they're really amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you like Neu! you should listen to Harmonia. its michael rother of Neu! with Cluster. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sounds interesting, I will |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first of all, comparing EN [experimental music ?] to Neu! [kraut rock ?] is kind of strange, but.....well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who compared them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol... u |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LoL I DID NOT!!!!!!!111111111 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
come on EN don't have just a experimental face. i was thinking about their more melodic works. but actually i might be wrong if what i'm thinking about is really considered being "kraut-rock" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i haven't found any source that would link EN to krautrock |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay i acutally WAS wrong thinking i would knew what can be considered krautrock |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've learnt quite a lot about music history tonight ;] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
krautrock is almost the most important genre there is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Neu have never really done it for me. i like Zuckerzeit era Cluster and Harmonia a lot more. but as far as kraut rock goes, Can blows everything else 15 storeys out of the water. unfortunately. it's a tease, y'know? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a fan boi too. And yes, Neu can be labelled pioneers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People! Where should I start with Neu? What's some of their best stuff? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
find neu!. its a white album with red NEU! on it. hallogallo starts the album off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Three albums: Neu, Neu2 and Neu75 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Neu is nothing compared to Can and Faust |
||||||||
|
|

|

hi futureimage did you ever get into the Neu! ??????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I forgot to check out Harmonia |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Brian Eno was in Harmonia or at least on some albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah he was on their last one i believe |
||||||||
|
|

came out in 98 as a tribute to Neu! Features: Rother, Autechre, Download, DVOA, Pink Dots, James Plotkin and others doing versions of Neu! tracks. Mark Spybey (DVOA. Reformed Faction, Download et al) was also a member of Sofortkontakt!, which was Michael Karoli of Can's late project before he died in 2001. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well now ive got to hear autechres take on weissensee. is it any good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not finding anything when i search for Sofortkontakt! did they release anything? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Awtecher remix is brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never heard anything by that project. Just read about it in Spybey's blogs and Can related sites. I had a little more luck finding references when I searched for Michael Karoli. Yea I remember liking the Autechre track on there. I need to give the whole thing another listen. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all of this inspired a nice loud playing of Tago Mago. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Finally listened to some stuff. Neu '75 is currently my fave, the longer more "motorik" tracks are pure brilliance. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! good stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Typical rubbish that you say without knowing anything. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ihave to agree with QRDL, ive never found the appeal of NEu they always sounded to me like a very cheesy kraftwerky version of the kraut rock i had grown to love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not big into neu (yet) either...can and cluster on the other hand...i love those..and popol vuh..and a bunch of other krautrockers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Schal, isnt that Autechre 'remix' actually a cover of that song and completely made from scratch or is it a literally a remix? i was under the impression it was a cover, but i could be wrong |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you can find the ealy concerts of Neu with ralph and Florian playing you'll be converted straight away. I tried to find it on this computer but it's not there. There's ana amazing live set that starts with a few synths that sound like a cross between vowels and raw synths. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't know. It's not actually called a "remix" anywhere, so it could might as well be a cover. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll have a look..i imagine it must have been something closer to harmonia and i like them quite a bit.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its more like what youd think of as neu! than kraftwerk or harmonia. instrumental jamming, etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i see...it's weird really..i normally like that sort of disharmonic harmonies, but neu just seem so very detached of (pleasurable) emotions..and i imagine synths add something on that end..i hope i can find it |
||||||||

|
so now that were on the subject of kraut rock what are some other good or memorable bands from the Faust/Can/Neu era? Im not too familiar with the genre. People have recommended to me 'this heat' and hawkind but the stuff ive heard by them hasnt gotten me in the mood really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just find them more predictable than Can and Faust. I've got oversaturated with music similar to Neu! in high-school. Granted it was from the 90s and it shouldn't prejudice me against the grandpas of noise-rock, but it was still very alike and I just can listen to Neu! without those connotations. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do you know kluster/cluster, roedelius solo work, popol vuh, ash ra tempel, amon duul,? check some of that is you don't know it yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooh amon duul and ash ra temple i have heard of both of them but totally forgot to check them out. Yes i am a big fan of Cluster, but only really heard their pre Eno esque ambient stuff, not their rock any particular albums i should hear? |

Zuckerzeit!!! |
