5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! You DON'T have to travel to Germany to get this CD!?, February 9, 2001

This review is from: Neu! (Audio CD)

Way back in 1997 I was lucky enough to take a trip to Austria while I was in college. During some down time a friend and I turned on the ol' tube to see what TV was like overseas. We tuned into a station that carried music videos. One such video was by Andreas Dorau (Das Telefon sagt Du). That song stuck in my head the entire time we were there. By the end of the trip I hunted that CD down in one of their many CD stores to take back to the states with me.

I love this CD and I was very pleased to find it on Amazon.com. This album is very fun and the songs will stick in your head for hours after listening. I listen to this album for a refreshing change of pace from all those "same ol', same ol'" songs that are played on the radio.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andreas Dorau = Rock/Funk Gott, April 20, 2000

The name of the album is "Neu", the name of the artist is Andreas Dorau, so let's focus on his music and not that other German band. This is a great recording, it grooves, his lyrics are quirky and amazingly playful, and the instrumentation is sophisticated electronic brilliance. Andreas has never gotten his proper due as one of Germany's most innovative artists.

2.0 out of 5 stars do not be misled!, January 13, 2000

By

This review is from: Neu! (Audio CD)

the two reviews theat say this CD is the first album by the band neu! are wrong. the other review is correct: this is not the krautrock classic. i believe that it is actually under copyright control and is only available as a pirate. which is a shame, because it is one of the finest pieces of elctronic music ever made. zen-like in its magnificence. when they make a film of my life, the opening track from neu! will be used to theme the 'tantric sex virginity loss' scene; it is tranquil, sensuous and life-altering (and lasts for 10 minutes - if only!). but, like i said, this CD here is not it, so keep looking.
