Official vinyl on Gronland – comes housed in a gatefold sleeve and pressed on white vinyl. by simply slowing down and speeding up different tracks they create totally different feelings and totally different songs. ‘super 16’ and ‘super’ are polar opposites, ’16’ is slow and druggy and sounds like the monster under your bed, plain ‘super’ is intense and punkish. the modern concept of the remix starts here (plus the rest of the songs are beyond excellent, as it goes without saying for neu!). While the other two are most listenable, this is the neu! you cannot live without a minute longer.
Short Bio (with thanks to discogs.com)
Klaus Dinger played drums on the first Kraftwerk LP in 1971. The following year he joined forces with Michael Rother and they formed Neu!, releasing their self-titled debut LP on German label Brain. Their music was heavily innovative and influential, melting distorted guitars with metronomic drumming, noise effects and tapes. The second LP, “Neu! 2”, was released in 1973 and featured the first remix experiments, with tracks recorded at 16 and 78 rpm. The band split in 1975 after releasing their final LP, “Neu! 75”. They eventually recorded more material in the 1980s. Michael Rother pursued a solo career, while Klaus Dinger went on to form La Düsseldorf. Neu! were highly influential on industrial, noise and experimental music.
