New Neu! Vinyl Boxset
Groenland Records
Neu! formed in 1971 when Michael Rother and the late Klaus Dinger left Kraftwerk to make music that repeated itself without sounding quite as robotic as their former group. Their broad soundscapes and minimalist grooves didn’t break any sales records, but have influenced more artists than can a human brain can comprehend (including you, whether you know it or not).
Included here are the three original Neu!, Neu! 2, and Neu! ‘75 as well as Neu! 72, an 18 minute live single, and the till now unreleased LP Neu! 86, a recording originally made in 1985-86 but reworked and augmented recently by Rother and Dinger’s more recent studio work. The whole thing comes wrapped with a 36 page book (complete with photos by Anton Corbijn and Peter Lindbergh), a T-shirt, stencil, and download code.
Michael Rother’s current project, Hallogallo, is on tour right now playing the music of Neu! Catch them near you soon.
