What do you mean you never heard of either of them?????
I've got Neu (1st album with a foreword penned by Dave Brock on the back
cover) Vinyl LP..............and Neu 2 ( 2nd vinyl LP naturally ).
Neu 2 is the best for one  12 minute track only.....'fuerimmer' or Forever
in english.
The first album though is a bit more consistant in overall quality but very
'chilled......dark.....depressing' if you're in the mood.
The 3rd LP was 'Neu 75' (released 1975 of course!!!) But I've never heard
this one.

I don't know what it is about the Germans but a lot of the progressive
music that came from them in the 70's always conjured up images in my
imagination of dark,depressing,deserted industrial landscapes and
cities..........know what I mean??????
