Neu! Neu! 75: 50th Anniversary Edition (Picture Disc Vinyl LP) * * *

Neu!'s Third Studio Album Neu! 75 Reissued for Its 50th Anniversary Edition on Picture Disc LP.

Neu! '75 is the third album from the German Krautrock pioneers Neu! Co-produced with longtime collaborator Conny Plank and capturing the growing ideological differences between founders Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother, the A-Side features Dinger and Rother working in their signature duo while the B-Side features the two in a quartet that also includes drummers Thomas Dinger and Hans Lampe. The 6-song set is anchored by the seminal proto-punk cut "Hero."

The influential group was formed by drummer Klaus Dinger and guitarist Michael Rother after their departure from Kraftwerk. They not only challenged the status quo of both rock 'n' roll and dance music, but helped lay the foundation for Krautrock and the future of electronic music in the process.
