And finally, breakdown. The world was catching up just as the engine blew out. And there wouldn't be another chance for Neu to show that they were still ten steps ahead of everybody else. The world was getting wise to their sound. So would you have been surprised then when the phone rang just a year after this record was released? He phoned up Rother, mentioned something about Berlin, a new sound, some project with Eno, and hey, maybe you'd like to sit in?

The project, of course, would be Low. And Rother declined. Brent S. Many many years before Outkast took their amazing dynamic apart and tried to hoof it on their two elements, another duo made the same choice. And just as in , one has to lament the choice, while also being pretty darn fascinated at what the deconstruction ends up sounding like.

And while the most dramatic thing that really ended up coming in Outkast's case was Andre turning into Prince Long story short, Neu! Problem is that label and money issues weren't all that had been the matter before, because Klaus and Michael were drifting musically apart.

And sure enough the only way they ended up creatively resolving this during the sessions here? Was to basically split the album into two halves with one being in charge on side one, and the other on side two. Neat choice and the only choice since fighting constantly would have resulted in probably NO release , but as with Outkast it robs the band of their synergy and makes things damned schizophrenic. Side one is Michael Rother's side, and it's uh Kind of dull honestly. Basically he's opted away from motorik industrial music and opted instead for what is honestly basically New Age music.

Not so bad as that might sound, but also partly yeah. Leb Wohl is what, even a track? It's eight minutes of whatever. I like the other two enough, but even in their case I miss the motorik, and they do too because they lack the sense of blood flow that the pulsation gives instrumentals like them.

They seem kind of boneless and flubby. Side two though, now that's where the gold is. So yes I am super taking sides here with Klaus Dinger, I dunno if that's polite or whatever but fuck it.

Klaus in fairness is the one sticking the most to their old sound but it's not like he isn't bringing radical new ideas to bear.

While E-Musik is just great motorik, the other two songs are flashes of Punk and Post-Punk yet to come with their mix of the Krautrock styles with some of that primal guitar energy.

Dinger's half is just all around smarter and more economical. He tries his new radical plans, but also knows how to incorporate it with their foundations, he doesn't just edit out everything. In contrast Michael's pretty instrumentals cut away some too vital material and lose out. And it leaves me wondering how much better the album could have been if the two of them had managed to keep working together. And my evidence is Dinger's side! You could even say they were competing about which style would be the future of rock music or something.

And while Post-Rock would somewhat vindicate Michael in the 90's, it damn sure is Klaus who won the bet here. Whatever the case, this is really the point where Krautrock's motorik days winded down and it's sun seemed to set. The point though where it turned out a certain David Bowie would pick them up and take their lessons to heart, and in doing so deliver their sound to the Anglosphere proper and really change shit up a ton.

It sounds like a farewell concert from two guys who can't play together anymore, but also Zephos Mind-blowingly good. As in "one of the best 50 or so albums I've ever heard".

Gorgeous, exhilarating-yet-meditative, diverse sound. It's even got proto-punk, along with early post-rock and new-age-ish tendencies. These are all pretty divergent impulses, but they're integrated here just about seamlessly. Location: las vegas. NV I get the feeling Johnny Rotten's singing was inspired by them. Slim Zooms , D. Location: MI. Their second album might be my favorite at this point. It's like a brilliant EP on side one with a single and remixes on the b-side, a vital blend of Neu!

I do not own the fourth album, though I've checked it out online a bit. Not horrible, but I haven't been in a rush to put it in my shopping cart.

Tristero , May 20, When it comes to Neu Brain ; December Using repetitive guitar lines and unchanging drum patterns, Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother create hypnotic music from rock roots. A good variety of guitar sounds and sound effects keeps it interesting. DesertChaos , May 20, You must log in or sign up to reply here. Show Ignored Content. Share This Page.
