 | | NEU!'s output seems meager in comparison with their peers' bulging catalogs, but the three official albums released between 1972 and 1975 contain some of the period's most inspired and inventive music. |
 | | This intermingling of artistic practice and the fabric of the everyday, which lay at the heart of Situationism, came across particularly in NEU!'s fragmented, jarring and anarchic tracks, as they incorporated everything from traditional rock instrumentation to drills, cutting, pasting and recycling elements of their own music as they went. |
 | | While NEU!'s packaging displayed a knowing sensibility, the music's minimalist, deconstructionist bent was often a result of necessity, thanks to sparse budgets. |
