Crazy (Neu! Song)
''Crazy'' is a 2010 12" vinyl single by Germany, German band Neu!. It was released shortly after the Neu! Vinyl Box on Grönland Records as a part of Record Store Day. It was the first Neu! single to be released since ''Isi (song), Isi'' in 1975 and the only single to be taken from ''Neu! 4#Neu! '86, Neu! '86''. It was sold in a limited edition and was only available for a short time after 17 April 2010. Recording & Release The two songs were recorded during the brief studio-only Neu! reunion of 1985-6. The failure of the sessions led Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother to seal the master tapes with wax and once again disband Neu!. The unavailability of the original three Neu! albums in the 1990s caused mass bootlegging, particularly by the Luxembourg label Germanofon, which Dinger personally attempted to contact, without success. Many music retailers were fooled by the bootlegs, and the Krautrock revival caused by Julian Cope's book ''Krautrocksampler'' put the Neu! albums in high ...

Neu!
Neu! (; German for "New!"; styled in block capitals) were a West German krautrock band formed in Düsseldorf in 1971 by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother following their departure from Kraftwerk. The group's albums were produced by Conny Plank, who has been regarded as the group's "hidden member". They released three albums in their initial incarnation—''Neu!'' (1972), ''Neu! 2'' (1973), and ''Neu! 75'' (1975)—before disbanding in 1975. They briefly reunited in the mid-1980s. Though Neu! had minimal commercial success during their existence, the band are retrospectively considered a central act of West Germany's 1970s krautrock movement. They are known for pioneering the "motorik" beat, a minimalist 4/4 rhythm associated with krautrock artists. Their work has exerted a widespread influence on genres such as electronica and punk.

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Krautrocksampler
''Krautrocksampler: One Head's Guide to the Great Kosmische Musik - 1968 Onwards'', written by the musician and writer Julian Cope, is a book describing the underground music scene in Germany from 1968 through the 1970s. The book was first published in the United Kingdom in 1995 by Head Heritage, and was later translated into German, Italian and French. The book gives a subjective and very animated account of the phenomenon of krautrock from the perspective of the author, who states: "I wrote this short history because of the way I feel about the music, that its supreme Magic & Power has lain Unrecognised for too long." (orthographic quirks in the original) The book comprises a narrative of the rock and roll culture in post-WWII West Germany, along with chapters focusing on individual major artists, including Faust, Tangerine Dream, Neu!, Amon Düül I and II, Ash Ra Tempel, Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser and the Cosmic Jokers and advocate of psychedelic drugs Timothy Leary. It also has an a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isi (song)
"Isi" was a 1975 single by the German band Neu!, released in the United Kingdom to promote their album ''Neu! '75''. Like its predecessor " Super"/"Neuschnee", "Isi" failed to chart and is now a collectors' item due to its rarity. It was sold in an unmarked paper sleeve by United Artists, who marketed Neu! in the UK. Background & Recording The recording of ''Neu! '75'', the last of Neu!'s original studio albums, was begun in December 1974 at Conny Plank's studio in Cologne. Like ''Neu! 2,'' the album has a definite binary nature, with the first side recorded by the original duo of Dinger and Rother, the second by the expanded four-part Neu!- La Düsseldorf supergroup. "Isi" is taken from the album's A or 'Michael Rother' side, whilst "After Eight" is from the Klaus Dinger-La Düsseldorf dominated side of the album. Dinger recognised this duality, admitting that "me and Michael drift dapart," but Rother maintains that "it was the combination of our two strengths which made the magi ...
