Reviews"Neu! were the best aspects of Krautrock incarnate: willfully simple and streamlined, pushing guitar, drums and bass into virgin territory.", 4 out of 5 stars - "...Bridges the gap between rock and art like no one before or since...with songs that are sparklingly pretty but anarchically noisy...", "...Their Most Listenable Expulsion....The Perfect Sound Forever.", "The Quiet, Floating Bits Anticipate Brian Eno's Ambient Music...", "...Effortlessly swung between serenely pulsing luminous chugathons and more daunting slabs of abrasive psych...", "...the 11-minute lead track is as perfect a declaration of intent as any band has ever managed. The 2 compnents of archetypal Neu! are in place: Dinger's metronomic drums...and Rother's fleeting guitar figures...", 8 out of 10 - "...The album staggers psychotically through metallic scrapings, drifting space musik, unwinding drones, Japanese banjo moments and noise extremism worthy of Pil or Einsturzende Neubauten...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Neu! Invented the motorik beat - Krautrock's defining relentless rhythm....influencing both punk and ambient..."
Good reminder of the German electronic sounds of the early 70's. Worthwhile addition to collection of electronic music from the 70's when it was still developing. This album is probably a must for anyone researching or collecting from that era.
