Welcome To My Blog

Thanks for checking the blog out... Hope it offers something a bit different every now & again. Though I come from a pseudo - Mod background (Soul & Ska in particular), I have a diverse taste in music & hope my varied posts will reflect this.

Cheers Skamanc .... I'm not after your undying gratitude, but please leave your thoughts, comments & opinions on the posts & content. I regularly up- & download material, plus buy and trade items. As such, if I have inadvertently "trodden on anyone's toes" in posting anything then please let me know & accept my apologies. Also please support the artists involved & remember that the blog is merely a pointer toward these various downloads, which are stored elsewhere. Legally, any downloads should not be retained for more than a week. So now I've told you the legal bit !

NEU! (1972) & NEU!2 (1973)



Legendary German progressive rock from Neu!
This is also termed Krautrock, along with Can, Kraftwerk & so on.
Pauli & I have briefly made reference to the genre & group in recent cbox messages & I hope some of you download this & give it a try. Personally I think it's 'kin excellent, and I've enjoyed this material for a long time. Pauli has recently sent me some more Can material, which I may post soon.

One of the great things about running a blog is the chance of potentially turning on a visitor to something new, that they might never otherwiase have encountered. I like to think this has happened many times & hope it will be repeated with Krautrock.

As always, comments & messages more than welcome. 



Neu!

Neu!2

    This type of material was a heavy influence on Bowie's Berlin Trilogy (Low, Heroes & Lodger). The first two especially are amongst my fave Bowie albums.
