Reading through this thread I thought some people might be interested to hear this.
It's a bootleg from from Kraftwerk's quite poorly documented krautrock era. Essentially it's Florian Schneider with the Neu duo Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother on drums and guitar - and the three of them grind out some of the best industrial hard-rock and heavy metal you're ever likely to hear.
nice one
on this topic, can their later stuff also be called "krautrock"?
(it was included in the krautrock documentary on BBC4 last night)
:slanted:
Seems like the first three LPs might be getting the reissue treatment btw.
They are coming. We are working on them with more drawings, more paintings, more photographs. We are working on the old tapes, they are very dusty.
Where can a man get hold of the German versions?
If they'd packed it in after Autobahn then maybe they'd be remembered as a Krautrock band who had a massive novelty single.

Am I unrealistic in being pissed off that tickets for these are £60? I'm sure, even a few years ago, tickets for these kind of gigs would've been much closer to £30. It's a joke.
