Peel....Peel
I still recall Peel playing this ...and Sounds in glasgow had a copy that weekend....just loved it ...

What NEU did next
Still waiting for my vinyl copy to turn up (ordered over 20 years ago)As soon as I saw the CD was available I didn't hesitate. Cliche#1, It was well worth the wait (not strictly true as I could have been enjoying this recording long ago)Cliche#2,forgotten classic,again not strictly true, it's status was I believe well known to anyone with an interest in sublime music (I see no need to prefix that with "early 70's German"). The opening track with its undertones of Dusseldorfs other well known "power plant" expands, swells, ebbs/flows, drives, chants, roars and leaves you in little doubt of where the more progressive and grown up British Electro bands found their motherlode (Cliche#3 without the lustre or intelligence)Cliche#4, this really is one of those records that discribes itself.This critic has fallen foul of many gushing reviews of 70's German (and British for that matter)recordings, made by "fans" with no critical filters. If you are a lover of one of the great periods of German music, this recording must be part of your collection. I do not believe in de-constructing songs to their elements, I wouldn't know a complex chord progression if it strummed me in the face, I do know clever, worldly music that fills me with admiration for the better side of humanity.
