Neu!’s last blast sees them neck-and-neck with Brian Eno at the forefront of boundary-pushing pop innovation, rising from the ruins of their compromised second album to confirm “motorik” as one of the decade’s essential rebel rhythms alongside Afrobeat, Glitterbeat, roots reggae and the super-heavy funk. Elsewhere Neu! 75 presents avant-pop sounds nearer to those of Eno’s Another Green World, where textural noise and ambient sound support tragic motifs transfiguring music into art.
