Music reviews of Neu 75 (Reis)
Music Review: If you are at all curious, give it a try
Rating: 5 Stars
I own thousands of albums and this is one I still listen to regularly. Avante-garde yet oddly accessible and completely listenable. Tons have been written about how important and influential this album was and still is, but so what, so was Metal Machine Music and who still listens to that? "Parallel lines stretching into infinity" some hipster once wrote about the band's albums, whatever that means. This is one "important" "art" album that is actually fun to listen to. And it is okay if you don't speak german. They don't seem to speak it either.
Description of Neu 75 (Reis)
The album oscillates between Michael Rother's more ambient, minimalist approach and Klaus Dinger's rock infused abrasiveness that predates punk by a year. In fact, when Neu!'75 was imported in the U.K., it influenced key players responsible for the punk rock movement. 2001 reissue.Neu! '75 is the third and most essential record from Krautrock wunderkinds Neu!--a two-man experimental force that pioneered the rapid, repetitive drum-beat known as motorik, and mapped out the future of music for groups like Sonic Youth, Stereolab, and Spacemen 3. Recorded after a two-year moratorium on the Neu! design, 75 is the sound of a band in a state of disintegration--but it's the simmering tension between the ambient-minded Michael Rother and the fiery Klaus Dinger that makes this an artistic triumph, rather than a cacophonous dissolution of ideas. Neu! handle this fracture by effectively splitting 75 in two very different parts. The first half, featuring the drifting catatonic majesty of "Seeland" and the tidal ambient lull of "Leb' Wohl" is very recognizably led by Rother's sense of affecting minimalism. The second half, however, is Dinger's blank canvas, over which he bitterly vents his spleen: "Hero" surges forward on an aggressive pedal-to-the-metal wave of guitar, Dinger bellowing "The only crime is money" like an anarchist sloganeer. Suddenly, claims that this record was an influence on the young John Lydon make perfect sense--'Neu! '75' is a masterpiece of cosmic punk rock, beamed in from a time before punk rock even existed. --Louis Pattison
