Neu!

Musical Group

Neu! was a German duo formed by Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger, noted for pioneering the motorik beat and for stark, experimental 1970s albums that influenced electronic and post-punk music. Core releases appeared 1972–1975 with a later, contested 1980s reunion.

Members: Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger. Early recordings produced with Conny Plank. Associated with the krautrock/kosmische scene; notable for the so-called motorik beat and for tape-manipulation experiments (Neu! 2). Later mid-1980s material was released under disputed circumstances.

The reviews praise Neu! as a pioneering German duo whose obsessive rhythms (motorik), tape experiments and stark production reshaped experimental rock. Their first three 1970s albums—Neu!, Neu! 2 and Neu! '75—are repeatedly highlighted as essential and influential. Later releases from the mid-1980s are described as controversial and uneven.

For:Fans of krautrock, experimental and electronic music; listeners interested in the history of modern rhythm and tape experimentation.

 This is the first case of a remix in the history of music. This is the most difficult, dark, and obscene work in music. But above all, it is Art.

 New. More than new, Neu! was music. More than music, Neu! was an experience. An experience of depth.
