"NEU! '75" by NEU! (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
NEU!  "NEU! '75"  1975 (Germany)
The third masterpiece of Kosmische minimalism from the duo of Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother was released long past the golden age of psych and prog which birthed the krautrock scene. Through some weird zeitgeist premonition, there are a pair of songs on this album which feature Klaus Dinger's manic tuneless singing and hyperactive simplistic guitar rock: which is to say, it pretty much sounds like The Sex Pistols before that band was even founded! Of course it is entirely possible (and some have speculated) that John "Rotten" Lydon's singing style was in fact influenced by Dinger's tunes on NEU! '75.  (Peter Hammill also released an album with a suspiciously proto-Lydonesque sound in 1975.)
