Neu! 2 – Neu! – Audio CD – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Neu! 2 stands as a testament to creative resilience and unorthodox artistry. Released in 1973, this sophomore album from the Düsseldorf duo Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger captures Neu! at their most daring. With limited studio time and funds, they famously filled the album’s second side with radical manipulations—slowed, sped up, and warped versions—of their single ‘Super.’ Rather than a compromise, this approach became a pioneering act of sonic collage, foreshadowing later developments in electronic and punk music. The first half is a hypnotic journey through motorik grooves and shimmering guitar textures, cementing Neu!’s influence on generations of musicians from David Bowie to Stereolab. Neu! 2 isn’t just a record; it’s a snapshot of a moment where boundaries were pushed out of necessity and sheer ingenuity. For collectors, it offers a window into both Krautrock’s ethos and the roots of experimental rock. Owning this album is an invitation to witness innovation born from limitation—a rare, essential listen for anyone passionate about bold, genre-defining music.
