Geeta, you're crazy. I love the punk songs on 75 so goddamn much. And I like the atmospheric stuff.
Of course I may like the 2 La Dusseldorf record more then the Neu! records anyway...
is that an unpopular opinion?
Also, is Klaus Dinger racist? Am I reading to much into "White Overalls"?
― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 March 2004 08:39 (twenty-two years ago)
As for Viva: it's a great record, but doesn't top the Neu! ones IMO.
― willem (willem), Friday, 26 March 2004 08:51 (twenty-two years ago)
Oh man, yeah, I just put it on --- 75 is definitely their best.
There are three La Dusseldorf records! And yeah, you are probably in the minority with that particular stance, Dan, but they're definitely great. Heck, I'm probably right there in the minority with you: I think Harmonia made the best records of the whole axis!!

I eventually 'obtained' Neu75 and play that the most, more because I keep finding 'burn' versions knocking around, than making a concious efft to play the first 2.
I like Neu2 loads, as they say the side 2 is only 50% messin' so its a 75% complete album and the other 25% i like mighty fine too.
The best one? Which is the one with the water sounds and the road drill? (I listened to it on my way home on 'train, and the outside (passed a river, walked through town) matched exactly the album...)

The two first Harmonia albums are indeed amazing, with "Watussi", "Sehr Kosmisch", "Monza (rauf und runter)" there's a lot of kraut's best output.
And while we seem to be exploring the axis: let me extend it to embrace Cluster's Zuckerzeit!
jim: get them all, you won't be dissapointed.
― willem (willem), Friday, 26 March 2004 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)
I lent a mate "Deluxe", "Neu" and "Neu '75" three years ago and he's still not given them back. I miss them, I really do, especially "Deluxe". It's so melancholy. Oh, he had some Rother CDs too. I must get back to him...
I'm not sure which of the La D albums I love most, probably "Viva" for "Rheinita" which is a gorgeous piece of music.

It's about overalls that are white, that's all. There's pictures of the LaD lads wearing them all over the inner sleeve of the album. It's about fashion not fascism! Ha ha.
Also 75 has the stuff Bowie ripped off! ("Red Sails")
Actually, "Red Sails" is really a rip off of "Monza" by Harmonia, play the two back to back and you'll see. Eno was a big big fan of "Deluxe".
― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 26 March 2004 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)
He sings "new style hits the city, oy ya, White Overalls" then later listen how he starts chanting "White Over All, Over All Over All"
I feel like Woody Allen in Annie Hall..."he didn't say did you eat, he said Jew eat?"
Anyway, I'm a huge fan of this axis of krautrock(ok, bad choice of words "axis") much more then the cosmic couriers type stuff.
Mid period Cluster, Zuckerzeit and Soweiso are fantastic, and the Harmonia records.
I discovered what my favorite band in the world would be when I took the first La Dusseldorf record and distorted it a bit.
Eno was a big enough of a fan of Cluster/Harmonia to move to Berlin and work with them on 3 albums!
― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 26 March 2004 16:32 (twenty-two years ago)
The third La Dusseldorf album is "Individuellos", which isn't s good as the first two but is still pretty spiffing. However, if you have suspicions about The Dinger's politics maybe you'd better not listen to "Dampfriemen" which (to me anyway) evokes a bierkeller full of SA men, clinking steins of lager and planning the next Putsch.

the good stuff is fairly divvied up over those six, though perhaps a lot of that could be better than the records (those recent Eloy reissues were really skippable)
& no Neu
thanks for posting, this could make for a good impulse buy

The last thing I listened to that brought a very satisfying repetitive rock experience was a tape by a Milwaukee band called Catacombz. The tape is Mother Tongue One on a label called Cobalt, I think. Circle "Prospekt" is good.
