 Seven Up entered my life just as the previous Schwingungen had perhaps done. It is certainly one of the most hallucinatory points of Kraut.

 ‘She’ is music, ‘She’ is Music. That drug discovered by Manuel Göttsching, which led him to see everything from another perspective.

 When I listen to this album, I listen with my heart, ignited by the flames of someone who, with a couple of guitar and synth strokes, can show you the aurora borealis from the moon.

 This album really falls below expectations.

 The album closes with 'Das Yvönnchen', which turns out to be the most enjoyable track on the album, perhaps because it is based on piano and without too many effects or glitters.

Individuellos, the final chapter in La Düsseldorf's trilogy, fails to meet the high standards set by its predecessors. The album's heavy use of synths and 80s effects detracts from its impact, leading to a disappointing experience. While some tracks show promise, the overall direction feels lackluster compared to earlier works. The reviewer laments the band's struggle to resist contemporary trends, resulting in a subdued ending to a remarkable career. Explore La Düsseldorf's journey from Krautrock legends to synth-driven experiments—listen and judge Individuellos for yourself!

 It’s Punk two years before Punk. And Dinger is Rotten two years before Rotten.

 This album is too fragmented compared to the first, and too between-the-lines compared to the second, but it is equally a masterpiece.

Neu! 75 is an artistic milestone capturing a unique mid-70s musical transition. Divided into two distinct halves, it combines reflective ambient and space rock with aggressive, pioneering punk. The album reflects the creative tensions between Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger, resulting in a powerful and fragmented masterpiece. It stands as a classic and influential work that reinvigorated music during a turbulent era. Dive into Neu! 75 to experience the groundbreaking fusion of spacey ambiance and raw punk energy that shaped music history.

 Kraut is a whole different story, it's made by crazy people who take you by the hand into desolate meadows and... invite you to raise your eyes to the sky, towards the cosmic, towards the indefinable.

 Faust IV is its worthy epitaph, and even if they will never be remembered and cited enough... no one will ever know what really happened, except them, of course.

 Simon Jeffes is a quiet genius who prefers to operate in the shadows rather than in the sunlight.

 "Sound Of Someone You Love Who’s Going Away And It Doesn’t Matter" is magnificent, grandiloquent, and essential music at the same time.

 What happens to a band among the most innovative in the history of music after it has released 3 albums redefining the concept of music?

 The disco shift managed to ruin such an extremely valid and innovative project as Neu!.

Neu! 4 is a fragmented and controversial album that strays from the groundbreaking innovation of Neu!'s first three records. Compiled from mid-80s recordings released in 1996, it reflects the musical shifts of that era but often sounds dated and irritating. While some tracks show glimpses of their earlier brilliance, the disco influence and experimentation fail to recreate the original magic. Fans of the classic Neu! works are advised to stick with the earlier albums. Explore the roots of krautrock but beware of this rare and flawed Neu! 4 record.
