The Greatest Music
Neu! '75
by Neu!
The 391st greatest album of all time
Neu! '75, the third album by German krautrock group Neu!, released in 1975, is notable for its split between the band’s trademark motorik, rhythm-driven grooves and a set of rawer, more electronic and abrasive tracks. The record contrasts metronomic, repetitive rhythms, textured guitars and synth treatments with looser, more aggressive songs that emphasize noise, studio experimentation and a proto-punk attitude. That juxtaposition expanded the group’s sonic range and helped point the path from krautrock toward later electronic, post-punk and experimental scenes.
