Neu! (trademarked NEU! in block capitals, , ) was a German band formed by Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother after their split from Kraftwerk in the early 1970s. Though the band had minimal commercial success during its existence, Neu! are retrospectively considered one of the founding fathers of Krautrock and a significant influence on artists including David Bowie, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, PiL, Joy Division, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Simple Minds, Negativland, Stereolab, Radiohead, The Horrors, and much of the current electronic music scene.

History

(1971–1975) Main career

Rother writes and produces solo albums. Before his death, Dinger was a member of the band La! Neu? as well as collaborating with Miki Yui and band Sub-tle in a project that is unreleased to this date.

(2009) Brand Neu!

In interviews conducted in the summer of 2009, Rother announced that he is working on a box set that will include all of Neu!'s recordings including material that appeared on the Neu! 4 album (which Rother refers to as Neu! '86). "I’m investing a lot of time and effort into the Neu! vinyl box set, which we hope to release later this year," Rother explains. "It will contain all of Neu!’s recordings, also the ones that were illegally released by my Neu! partner, the late Klaus Dinger, in the Nineties." Plans also are to include a thick booklet filled with rare photos and new text. Rother also mentions the possibility of live recordings appearing in the box set. |- |}
