Until this long-overdue reissue, however, only a handful of famous musicians--David Bowie, Kraftwerk, Add N To (X), DAF, Blur --had heard this relatively obscure album, first released in 1973. Stereolab aren't the only group this experimental, minimalist, unsettlingly beautiful Germanic duo influenced though; you can hear traces of Suicide's aggressive disco-punk and almost every present-day dance band within Klaus Dinger's almost robotic, forceful drumming on "Spitzenqualitat" and the final "Super". What strikes the listener most about Neu! 2, however, is the sheer enjoyment these aural visionaries were deriving from their conveyor belt grooves: ecstatic yelps of ecstasy sometimes obliterating the percussive din, keyboardist Michael Rother thumping his guitar like he's the first child on a new motorway of sound which, indeed, he was. Tracks are speed-up and then slowed-down, almost at random. Indispensable listening. --Everett True Review: The roots of everything - Welcome to your third Neu! album. Haven't got the other two (we'll ignore Neu! '86 for now)? Then come back when you've absorbed the genius of NEU! and NEU! 75 , because Neu! 2 won't make any sense till you have. But only when you have Neu! 2 will you have a map for the whole journey. Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother, together known as Neu!, invented everything interesting about alternative music since the mid-70s. In terms of importance, they're up there with The Beatles, Elvis Presley and The Velvet Underground. They invented (if you'll forgive a bit of exaggeration) ambient, electronica, industrial, techno, trance and punk. They inspired minimalist cover art when British "progressive" bands were fixated on necromancers and the revealing science of God . They had a rhythm named after them (motorik). They invented remixing. Eno and Bowie came to Germany to meet them and learn their secret, while John Lydon did a distance-learning course in How To Sing Like Klaus Dinger. The punks, the new-wavers, the ravers, the Madchesters and the alt-rock-hipsters copied them like mad. And they had a slogan: "NEW! music for mind and pants." Motorik is the remorseless 4/4 that drove Hallogallo , the stand-out track on the first Neu! album. On Neu! 2, Dinger and Rother took it a stage further with the even longer Für Immer (Forever), with a harder edge and more insistent guitar. Hallogallo is a river; Für Immer is an autobahn. Then the album descends into rhythmic noise till the heavy drums and shouted vocal of Lila Engel usher in the punk era three years early. Then Dinger and Rother ran out of money. What was Side Two of the vinyl album is two tracks: the rhythmic trance of Neushnee and the punk assault of Super: two tracks Neu! had earlier recorded as a single. Dinger and Rother remixed them, fast and slow, with out-takes and noise experiments to fill up the album. On first hearing it sounds like exactly that: sterile and pointless. By the third listen it starts to make sense, as these two push the boundaries of music not as songs, but as an enveloping cerebral experience. With the music speeded up to 78rpm and slowed down to 16rpm, and with the twisted distortions of Hallo Excentrico!, Neu! stretched the boundaries of music more than any other contemporary group. Neu! 2 is an indifferent listen on first hearing. Only Für Immer and Super stand out: Neu! fans should buy the album for Für Immer alone, while anyone interested in the roots of punk should buy it for Super, which is punkier than anything recorded before 1977. Only those two and Neushnee should be listened to on their own, but played all the way through, Neu! 2 is a mind-bending experience, yet one that clears and frees the mind at the same time.
