Neu! member!

/!

we're really hitting the bottom of the "oh, look who died" barrel here.

i prefer autobahn.

PC LOAD LETTER: we're really hitting the bottom of the "oh, look who died" barrel here.

it's not quite as irrelevant as you think. Though headlining Klaus as just the ex-Kraftwerk drummer is a bit disingenuous.

Who?

PC LOAD LETTER: we're really hitting the bottom of the "oh, look who died" barrel here.

Kraftwerk and Neu! have had a huge influence on modern music. Huge is an understatement.

He's taking the Trans-Heaven Express.

Ja ja ja, mach schnell mit der art things, huh? I must get back
to Dancecentrum in Struttgart in time to see Kraftwerk.

Glitchwerks: Kraftwerk and Neu! have had a huge influence on modern music.

If that's true, then he deserved to die.

We are the robots!

Sad.
Neu! was great.
Kraftwerk is always amazing.

PC LOAD LETTER:

If you died and there was a thread posted, I'm guessing that would be just a little closer to the bottom.

I've got friends who are big Neu! fans. They will not be pleased by this news.

by the way, isn't the picture in the article from the Kraftwerk's Rolf Und Florian album cover? (in other words, it's not Klaus)

FeedTheCollapse: the Kraftwerk's

FTFM.

Yeah, saw that too. Love that picture.

Yeah, that's Ralf when he had his hippy hair.

I thought the article would be about Karl Bartos or Wolfgang Flur.

damnit! why is voting enabled? this is farking sad.

Can someone post the Kraftwerk version of Hokey Pokey, as done by that one comic?

/please don't crucify me for not remembering his name
//it's as fitting memorial
///Lick my Blood!!!
////If you get that reference, you sir or ma'am are just as nerdy as me

pfft..."a" not "as"

Sad. Neu was pretty influential.

Now is the time on Sprockets when we mourn.

transpogue: Bill Bailey is the comic you're referring to.

nice

They had a drummer?

Neu! was a very highly influential band.


other great "krautrock" bands also include:

Can
Faust
Tangerine Dream
Amon Duul
Guru Guru
Popol Vuh
Klaus Schulze
Cosmic Jokers
Ashra Tempel

I think "Oxymoron" by Guru Guru and "Eye Shaking King" by Amon Duul are on youtube somewhere.

Great stuff.
Very stoned music.
I always manage to educate folks of the greatness of kraut rock by way of Pink Floyd.
If you dig "Pompeii" and "Saucerful of Secrets" era Floyd you will most likely appreciate the kraut stuff too.

The first Ashra Tempel record sounds a lot like Hendrix or Trower jamming with Pink Floyd circa 1970.

Karl Bartos and Wolfgang Flur are still alive then?

This headline is a tad iffy.

Aw man,

Time to go listen to some older Kraftwerk.

cameroncrazy1984: He's taking the Trans-Heaven Express.

or the autobahn to hell

www.kraftwerk.com Link (new window) cool site look for autobahn and other interactive stuff

Goonight, funnyman!

paulseta: This headline is a tad iffy.


yeah, it's kind of annoying that everyone here is talking about Kraftwerk when Dinger had more to do with Neu! than Kraftwerk, who are arguably just as important as Kraftwerk.
craigdamage, I know I recommended this way back but I'm not sure if you got the post (I posted it after the thread was more or less dead), but Heldon's "Interface" album would probably be right up your alley. Yeah, they're French, not German, but it sounds like Robert Fripp jamming with Jaki and Irwin of Can.

I have "Trans Europe Express", "Autobahn" on cd, and "Radioactivity" on vinly.
Good stuff.
btw, pope183, my cd cover omitted the bottom of that cover, which looks like the record cover... interesting.... they were probably pressed for space and had to omit something...

wait a minute.... thats' too tall to be a record cover..it's not completely square... more like a rectangle....
was that a poster???

Hee...on vinly.

Probably mastered using dobly.

yeah google search - poss one og my fav images ever - some how the autobahn combined with the high powerlines - the jet airplane in the sky are symbology to imply a new era

I am the operator with my pocket calculator?

Seriously, they had a drummer? Love 'em in any case.

Tour De France oooo aahhhhh oooo ahhhhhh

PET MY MONKEY

what a drag. Neu! were awesome! and he was there for my favorite Kraftwerk records, the first 2.

Wasn't there a Neu! song on the Kill Bill soundtrack?

I like TAUCUARA NOD better.
