NEU! - NEU! 75 (1975) (@256)

This latest upload is dedicated to Klaus Dinger who passed away some two months ago. Drummer of Kraftwerk during their early days, of Neu! and of La Düsseldorf, will be surely remembered for his 'motorik' beat, but also for his growling vocals in the song 'Hero'; an echo of which can be heard throughout Never Mind The Bollocks.

Neu! 75 is a perfect example of an album that was many years ahead of its era thus its importance was recognised through the various groups that were influenced by it (and by the group itself) and span from Stereolab to Tortoise to Sonic Youth to Kasabian to OMD to the Sex Pistols. The vast variety of the genres these groups represent, evidently showcase the cross-genre capsule this album was.
