	The College Hill Independent
		The Notwist already sounds good on disc, where their production style shines and, like a pint of Ben n’ Jerry’s alongside a pint of beer, is ridiculously good.
		Their live show is what allows the Notwist to reserve a place within the halls of rock ‘n’ roll.
		Throughout the night, the Notwist used elements of shoegazing, hardcore, and dub in their noodling, proving that when it comes down to it, if you wanna rock you gotta know your roots.

	The Notwist - Neon Golden
		Formed over 10 years ago, Germany's The Notwist have been little known on these shores, hardly surprising considering that 'Neon Golden' is their first UK release.
		In truth there's a lot more to The Notwist than this, due in no small part to their employment of other musical forms.
		Interesting to know what their earlier work was like but The Notwist have certainly conquered the 'difficult sixth album' riddle.

	The Notwist: Neon Golden (2003): Reviews
		A decade into their career, the Notwist have created a masterpiece by pulling the same trick they pulled on Shrink: mixing things that might not seem to fit together into a beautiful, seamless whole.
		The Notwist's previous stabs at fusing pop, techno, punk, and jazz were dominated by post-adolescent melancholy and petulance.
		The Notwist are, for me, the band New Order never had a good enough singer, or a creative enough programmer, to be.

	The Notwist - Neon Golden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		They have exhibited a truly refreshing assessment of what it is they do well, expanding upon their best tracks from past albums and exploiting a sound that is not only uniquely theirs, but one that perhaps represents the apex of a vastly underexposed and mutable discography.
		The Notwist's third album, 12 marked the group's first flirtation with electronics and the melancholy minor-chord structures that would evolve into their devastatingly emotional alt-pop sound.
		But it wasn't really until their 1998, Zero Hour-distributed American debut, Shrink, that one would be able to predict the path that would lead to Neon Golden.

		The Notwist: Markus Acher, Micha Acher, Martin Messerschmid, Martin Gretschmann.
		The sonic spectrum of pop as seen by Germany's Notwist is deeper and wider than that of just about any so-called rock band working the end of the millenium.
		Speed-metal guitars, the pure liquid electronics practiced by some of their Cologne-based countrymates, abstract, free-jazz horn surges, and late generation indie rock are all sound colors in the band's palette.

	Music: The Notwist (The Boston Phoenix . 10-13-97)
		(Both Notwist singer Markus Archer and guest vocalist Cindy Dall of Smog bring to mind the artless delivery of the one-time Velvet Underground femme fatale.) There's also a good dose of the kind of dreamy, layered dual-guitar textures that New York avant-gardists like Sonic Youth and Yo La Tengo specialize in.
		--> Add to that the Notwist's penchant for audiophile tricks like hard-panning the entire mix from side to side, the abstract and arty sleeve design, and their seemingly humorless demeanor, and you've got a recipe for pretension.
		Yet it's those high-art aspirations that distinguish the Notwist from bands who merely aspire to little more than fitting some inane definition of modern rock.

	Junkmedia: The Notwist : Neon Golden
		If any of the four bandmembers inside the car were to look out the window right now, they'd see a sweeping landscape of peaks and valleys.
		Scattered among the natural surroundings is the band's winding history: remnants of bills shared with Fugazi and The Jesus Lizard from the early '90s; wisps of forgotten speed metal riffs hang from pine trees; there's a collaboration with Bjork; and, about 1000 meters below, is the band's first Powerbook.
		Melding electronic drones and clicks and cuts with acoustic instruments, on their sixth ablum The Notwist synthesized their ironically twisted past into the record they've been driving towards for the last 14 years.

	Fast 'n' Bulbous Reviews: The Notwist * Neon Golden (Virgin/City Slang, 2002)
		People have been tinkering with the hybrid of electronica and indie rock for a decade, but it took a metal band to perfect the formula.
		Weilheim, Germany-based band The Notwist released two albums of hardcore and metal in 1989 and 1992.
		The Notwist's fifth album, Neon Golden is the sparkling result of everything they've learned in the flurry of activity.

	Splendid Magazine reviews The Notwist: Shrink
		The Notwist are at the vanguard of a guitar-based sound that strives to achieve loftier heights than six strings and an amp head could ever reasonably allow.
		"Your Signs", with its use of vibraphones, clarinet, tenor saxophone and cello, proves that The Notwist were dissatisfied with retreading the salted earth of guitar-based exploration and had committed themselves to developing a truly panoramic vision of a pop world infused with electronics and richer instrumentation.
		It seems fair to suggest that they didn't hit their stride until Shrink, which carved out a unique sonic identity for the group that has since come to represent and entire field of like-minded artists who now regard Neon Golden as a shining jewel.

	Luna Kafé - The Notwist: an interview with Markus Acher
		For the last ten years, the brother Markus and Michael Acher and their drummer Mecki Messerschmid have made a name for themselves as one of the most exciting and challenging bands around.
		First of all, the Notwist are playing a few shows without having a single new song in the repertoire and that's kinda strange, but I can handle it.
		The Notwist is far more Pop-orientated and you wouldn't wanna do one Sax solo after the other.

	village voice > music > The Notwist's Neon Golden by Piotr Orlov
		Mirroring the Notwist's own history, it is a result of shared, constantly evolving figures.
		Album number five dwarfs its predecessors because the members have started treating this group as the sun around which their musical projects must inevitably revolve, and the home to which they must return.
		It's as though the communal feeling that most of the Achers' lyrics long for, and the futuristic blend the Notwist's sound strives to achieve, is the end station toward which the momentary "pilot" would naturally steer.

		Even after living in L.A. for three years, it’s still a shock for me to watch hundreds of teens and 20-somethings with impeccably tousled hair and perfectly apathetic designer-vintage outfits crowded inside a dark club with arms crossed and scowled faces.
		That’s why it’s refreshing to see left-field artists like Themselves and the Notwist bring out music fans who can bob their heads, dance and sing along… the ones who push the too cool Angelinos to the dark corners of the room, where the sound sucks and the view is less than desirable.
		Though their sound tends to have a bit more in common with Radiohead and the Postal Service these days (an unusual combination, I know), at one time the music from this German group was heavily rooted in the school of punk.

	the notwist / console / klimek, solo swim
		Awesome return for the mighty Notwist, away from us for too long pursuing a wealth of their other commitments & projects: Lali Puna, Ms John Soda, collaborations with Alias and so it goes on.
		Here, documentary-moviemaker Jörg Adolph and his cameraman Luigi Falorni have created "Kanalschwimmer", and 'solo swim' is the Notwist soundtrack to their story of the mystic 33 kilometres from Dover to Calais, the Mount Everest for long distance swimmers.

	The Notwist: Neon Golden - Josh Spear
		It's funny how a band and/or CD, often by word of mouth, can surface long after its initial debut, such is the case with The Notwist's Neon Golden.
		The Notwist follow a (now) long-standing tradition of tech-pop set forth by genre stalwarts like Mum and Lali Puna.
		I’d like to place additional emphasis on Lali Puna, whom I’ve found to be the yin complement to the male vocals of Marchus Acher of the Notwist.

	Amazon.com: Neon Golden: Music: The Notwist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The 15 months spent in the studio putting the unlikely components together, however, pays off with a collection beautiful and dreamy lo-fi lullabies in which hazy pop melodies drift by on an eccentric flow of sensual bleeps, whooshes, and crackles.
		Yet nothing is more magical or odd than "Trashing Days," where Notwist manages to make pneumatic space-age sound effects rubbing against scraping beats, woozy horns and a quietly plucked banjo, sound like the most natural thing in the world.
		Thus when a band like Germany's Notwist comes out of the blue to fill such a void (though actually being around for quite a few years), it's like an oasis in the desert.

	Notwist: Notwist: Pitchfork Record Review
		In yet another case of "better late than never," the Notwist did finally receive their well-deserved props, which means most of their unavailable back catalog is sure to be re-released in America.
		Once in a while, these two worlds collide-- the concluding track "Nothing Like You" would pass for pro-forma slack motherfucker-y were it not for the 30 seconds of bridging riffage thrown in at the 2:30 mark, and "I've Not Forgotten You" segues from apocalyptic anvil-banging into spry indie sprints.
		Other tracks ("Is It Fear", "K. Das Devil", "One Wasted") are less shameless about their affinity for rock of a harder vintage-- feel free to imagine the effect (deleterious or otherwise) Germany's biggest rock export, the Scorpions, had on these impressionable kinder.

	KindaMuzik - Interview: The Notwist - The Notwist
		The Notwist, hailing from Weilheim (Germany), have come a long way since their post-punk roots.
		Notwist songs have a high level of experimentation.
		Notwist melodies are often very upbeat and cheerful, whereas the lyrics often act as a more sober, disillusioned opposite to that.

		The point is, the Notwist is a band, not a style or a genre.
		I was lucky to have picked up on them while living in Germany in the early 90's when they released a single that is on 12, a Robert Palmer cover of 'Johnny and Mary'.
		The Notwist is one of my favorite bands, this is there first of 4 cd's they released.

	The Daily Colonial - The Notwist changes gears.
		Once upon a time, The Notwist was a heavy-metal rock band.
		A musical act that began in Weilheim, Germany, back in the early ‘90s, The Notwist have given new meaning to the idea of switching gears.
		After just two heavy-metal releases, The Notwist decided to go down a different route, and ended up in the world of electronica.

	Rolling Stone : The Notwist: Neon Golden : Music Reviews
		Warm electronic atmospheres saddle up close to sad-boy pop on Notwist's Neon Golden: Warm synths meet banjos, turntable styluses drop on sandpaper and synthetic orchestras swell alongside skipping CDs.
		What keeps it from being a crackling mess is Markus Acher's sweet, plaintive voice pushing these selected ambient works toward song structure and melody.
		The German former punk-metal band keeps it eclectically real with straight-up Eighties synth pop ("Pilot"), alternative-rock angst ("One With the Freaks") and a bluesy techno freakout ("Neon Golden") that sounds like Robert Johnson dueling Jeff Mills down at the crossroads -- innovative and catchy.

	Music \| The Notwist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The remainder of Neon Golden offers similar mood music for rattled modern minds.
		Like Radiohead, the Notwist once worked with traditional vocals, guitars, and drums, only to expand their palette with the sampled scribbles of European electronic music.
		But because they’re German, with a long history of inherited electronic music, or perhaps because vocalist Markus Acher is nowhere as demonstrative as Thom Yorke, they’ve submerged themselves where Radiohead simply dipped their toes.

	the notwist, pick up the phone
		Third single from the highly acclaimed album, and ‘Pick up the phone’ stands up at its full height to almost anthem proportions, from flutey beginnings, a crunched up beat and catchy lyric, give way to a good chunky slice of guitar.
		‘Red Room’ contains echoes of both Console and the Tied and Tickled Trio, offshoots of the Notwist which should by now be familiar to one and all.
		Beautiful composition with horns and strings taking the listener to another place entirely.
