NEU! Remix Contest - 'Crazy'
Price: THE WINNING REMIX WILL BE THE BONUS TRACK ON THE ITUNES VERSION OF THE ALBUM OR USED AS A FREE DOWNLOAD FOR AMAZON:Klaus Dinger's and Michael Rother's band project NEU! has left its mark on generations of musicians and international influences - bands like Sonic Youth, U2, Radiohead and Primal Scream amongst many others, all owe a creative debt to NEU!, not to mention their impact on the electronic music of the last twenty years.
Just listen to what Damon Albarn, David Bowie and Thom Yorke have to say about NEU!:
Damon Albarn: “When I listen to Neu I think of a Germany where the autobahn a thousand miles of golden white sands and the sound systems hang in the banana trees, instead of speedtraps and bratwurst.”
David Bowie: “I bought my first vinyl 'Neu 2' in Berlin around 1975 while I was on a brief visit. I bought it because I knew that they were a spin off of Kraftwerk and had to be worth hearing. Indeed, they were to prove to be Kraftwerk's wayward, anarchistic brothers. I was completely seduced by the setting of the aggressive guitar-drone against the almost-but-not-quite robotic/machine drumming of Dinger.”
Together with Groenland Records NEU! have now released a limited edition NEU! vinyl box set. It’s a complete retrospective of one of the most influential German bands of the seventies. In addition to the three original NEU! studio albums the package contains two additional vinyls, appearing for the first time officially. The album NEU! `86 contains never before released material, revised by Michael Rother as well as the most recent studio recordings of both musicians. "NEU! '72 non-public test" is a stunning and previously unheard live recording of the band in Dusseldorf.
Also included is a thirty-six page book with text about the history and the workings of NEU!, illustrated with previously unpublished photographs by Anton Corbijn and Peter Lindbergh, , and a code to allow the buyer to download the digital version of all the albums on the website www.neu2010.com. A free NEU! T-shirt (one of three different designs) and a stencil of the NEU! logo finish off this bumper release.
