How many of these are new recordings?

congratulation noel g youve finally got yourself the musical taste of a first year art student

I really hope this is a joek

hahahahahahahaha

went with "wataridori" which is actually pretty aces

I really thought it was one, this morning. xpost

I don't know that SVIIB track, but I know that Benjamin is the biggest Michael Rother fanboy in the world, so I've got high hopes for it.

I think they only did the Noel thing for controversy and WTF?!?! purposes.

i didn't know "watch the tapes" was a cover

very few of these are covers

Neul Hallogallogher

I think none of these are covers. Don't know a lot of these but my guess is that they're all songs with a motorik(ish) beat. That Rother track also featured on an earlier tribute cd. Never heard of that La Düsseldorf track and I thought I had everything (well, up to '81 or so, maybe this is from a later incarnation). The whole thing looks/feels pretty random to me. A shame, really.

What label is this on? None of the reports say, and there's no Amazon listing for it.

On the Neu! thread at least one person reckoned this was a hoax.

"Super Inuit" and "Wataridori" are my favourites of the tracks I know. Luckily I have them and half of the others already.

The thought of some Oasis or Kasabian completist buying this and hearing it open w/ Ciccone Youth was pretty amusing, but I see their tracks aren't exclusives either, so no draw. So I'll just have to be amused at the idea of Bobby G (is it his comp or is he just on it?) making himself this as a winamp playlist while stoned and then thinking how it would be super awesome to, like, actually license it all, man.

pretty sure it's a wind up

I just found this School of Seven Bells interview which suggests it's not:

As far as music goes, we're finishing up a song for a comp that Michael Rother and Gronland Records are putting together of music in the spirit of Neu! called Brand Neu! We're giving them a new track for that.

It's a good title. Not cover versions, but bands that would like to be compared to or have been influenced by.

I don't really see why anyone would think it's a windup based on the people involved - I didn't personally know N Gallagher liked Neu! but, like, they're not exactly lost to a bygone age, nor massively challenging to listen to

That Foals track was a b-side and it's kinda terrible and not a bit Neu!-sy to my ears.

Also wtf is Hook & The Twin?

ZANE LOOOOOOOWE.....
...played Race For The Bone! Last night! The king of motormouth DJs called for texts at the end of the song and the reaction was beautifully split between one hater and a bunch of lovers - one bigged it up as "a mix between Hot Chip, Cypress Hill and the background music from a Bruce Lee film, remixed by The Prodigy". Which is exactly right.

^^^great things promised by their own Myspace blog here

From that description, I can see that they'd be the natural choice for a tribute to Neu!.

stealin' comp ideas from cleopatra way to go einsteins

I did a piece with Michael Rother a few years ago where I sent him a CD of obviously Neu!-influenced songs and asked him to comment. A while later, the label asked me to suggest some tunes for a tribute album but it fell apart when Klaus Dinger vetoed it and I never heard from them again. Primal Scream and Fujiya & Miyagi (but not that tune) overlap with my list. The rest, including Stereolab, Secret Machines and OMD, didn't make it for whatever reason.

Anyway, what I wonder is how long they waited until after Dinger's death before reviving the project.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

^^^^ my brane thot this two

Next up, Oasis do Sex Gang Children's "Funny Little Man" and other early 80s goth classics in Whipped Gallagher And Other Dark Delights

/custos

I know...Oasis and Neu! in the same breath makes my head spin.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

And now I have found a promo version of this!

If someone seriously tries to make a tribute release worse or more pointless than anything Cleopatra Records has made, I will personally send them a Tiara Of Lol

What would such a tiara look like?

I have to make the LOL Tiara first. I'll post the results.
