Not sure what you mean by "they", as Neu broke up in the 70's and one of the two band members is dead, but if you mean "they" as in the fans, then hell yes, I'm still playing it...!
You don’t need drugs, or booze to relax and enjoy this. Just close your eyes and listen to all the pretty little sounds playing off each other. Divine and healing.
jackal59 Rother liked to record himself for a while then play the tape backwards and re-record the same thing forward again over it. I think that’s what is going on in Hallogallo.
I heard this first in a small record store in my hometown in Germany near Düsseldorf in 1972. I had no money to buy it, but it never left my mind until today. So in a way it changed my life!
We discovered Neu in 1974 aged 15 at school in London. It felt revolutionary and led us to Can, Tangerine Dream and Kraan. Somehow connected in my mind with Velvet Undergound also, for example -Foggy Notion. I had to buy Neu and Neu '75 again a few years ago as they were 'borrowed' by my son and his friends.
Nico, Lou Reed, and John Cale already made a blueprint of this sound back in 67'. Just listen to It Was A Pleasure Then on Nico's solo debut. Neu! was definitely influenced by the Velvets, and that song in particular
Sometime in December of this year will be the 50th anniversary of this song... Unbelievable. Can't imagine what it must've been like listening to it for the first time back then.
Shoutout to Stereolab for bringing me here. Their song "Jenny Ondioline" is pretty much a Hallogallo love letter in how heavily it references this song musically, especially the second section around the 7 minute mark. I can't listen to Hallogallo without "We got to keep the lift hope and struggle" constantly playing in my head lol.
@@internetuser8922 You can now add The Smile to the list, particularly Read the Room and Under our Pillows. But I'm sure as discerning music connoisseurs you already know this ;)
Boah..wie genial diese Musik ist ..das ich sie jetzt erst entdeckt habe bzw mir bewußt wird...das ist wirklich Musikgeschichte. Weiß gar nicht was ich sagen soll..Dankeschön Klaus Dinger ❤❤❤
❤️ genial. Kommentare nur auf Englisch. In Deutschland wird diese progressive Musik der 1970er leider nicht gewürdigt, obwohl oder weit Jahre voraus.Dafür aber in England und Asien.
Sie wird gewürdigt. Aber nur von Kennern, wie Ecki Stieg. Geh mal in einen richtigen Plattenladen und frag nach Dinger, Rother, NEU! oder La Düsseldorf. Wenn der Laden gut ist, wird man Dich mit großen Augen anschauen und fragen, woher kennst du die?!? Und das war schon vor über 30 Jahren genauso. Eigene Erfahrung.
I agree 👍 I live in Melbourne Australia but, many people don't even know ELOY, or, Far East family Band. I don't have turning table I'm morly to the digital media side, but I will check yr recommendations definitely. 😊👍🧐 Ch3ck Sweet Smoke band. LP, Just a poke. Germans obviously 😊
I first heard song in the mid 2000's when Billy Idol used it as the last PA system song before he took the stage. Having travelled to many Idol shows I quickly learned that when this song started, Idol and his band would be onstage in about 10 minutes. I am still listening to this song years later, same driving beat, same vibe, I'm just 40lbs heavier!
I was too young when Neu! entered the scene. It wasn't until 1980-81 that I realized how ahead of their time they were and how influential they were to a number of artists: Bowie, Talking Heads, early Simple Minds, and many, many more. Pure love!
i discovered them in 2006 when i was 21, some Techno dudes played it on a Party, i was blown away realizing the age of it. My dad showed them to me earlier, but i was much too much into british Punk and stuff in my teens haha. I think NEU! is a band that grows on you as you grow.
@@piepflitze788 I feel the same way, I didn't really like them when I heard this album for the first time when I was 18 and looking for some post-punk to listen to. Then, as I grow older I appreciate the beauty of repetitiveness and experimentation more and more, and I can enjoy sitting through a whole 10 minute song that sounds almost the same all the time
@@brutallyremastered4255 : Yep! Have a listen to Simple Minds’ two albums Real To Real Cacophony and Empires & Dance. The band even referred to Neu as a major influence on these two albums…
soulminer 1970 you need to check out some CAN, “Vitamin C” is a good start.. it’s hard to believe an actual person could be such a damn amazing drummer
Can you dig it? Mother Sky, Paperhouse, Spoon to name a few of their more "popular" tracks. I would personally recommend the live Beat Club version of, "Paperhouse" on YT as an introduction to Jaki's wonderful, rhythmic drumming.
really? can you share examples? i love this drum beat. and i have to stop myself from using it on every song i make. (not kidding). so of course i want to head other people that have used it
@@topspin4456 The earliest example of a motorbike rhythm I can think of is actually from CAN's "Mother Sky" that came out two years prior. Dinger I think was the one that counted the term.
Klaus Dinger and Michael Rother started out in Kraftwerk, who later became famous for their hit "Autobahn". "Autobahn" was meant to be a musical interpretation of what it's like to drive a car but I've always thought this song sounded more like that experience. "Hallogallo" just _sounds_ like driving through a city on the highway late at night to me.
There's a drumbeat that was really made popular by krautrock (German music from this era), called the motorik, which is just a very specific repetitive backbeat. Can used it a lot, and so did Neu! I've heard it described as illustrating the pace and pulse of driving. Autobahn doesn't have it. That's probably what you're hearing.
@@ScisaacFisaac Yeah, it's the bass drum on every 8th note except 2 and 4. I used to play it on my drums back before I even knew it had a name. It does have a very propulsive feel.
ITV4 clearly have a Neu fan in their production department,as this was used, along with 'ISI' as background music during this year's Tour de France coverage.And they were the only artist to be used more than once. Can got a look-in too.
Jörn, du bist mit Sicherheit nicht der einzige! Schau dir mal die unzähligen Kommentare aus ganz Europa an, wenn es um Kraftwerk, Neu, La Düsseldorf, Harmonia, respektive Klaus und Thomas Dinger und Michael Rother geht. Der Rother hat immer noch unzählige Fans die zu seinen Konzerten gekommen sind. Viele auch mit Hans Lampe, z. B. in England und Schweden etc. Leider findet er in Deutschland nicht so viel Anerkennung wie im Ausland. Also, dein Geschmack ist nicht so schlimm! 👍😃 Ich höre diese Musik seit 50 Jahren! Nicht ausschließlich, andere mach(t)en ja auch gute Mucke. Aber es ist immer wieder ein Genuss, die Jungs zu hören/sehen!
Musical perfection, or damn well near. I don't think Rother and Dinger even know / knew how many musical ships they set sail with their music. Between this and "Hero", they're arguably the most influential band in history.
I love this. It sounds like they were years, decades, ahead of their time. If you're bored listen to JJ Cale's "Durango" and compare. The similarity is remarkable.
You'd think this song was made during the time when new wave was the rage in 1980s, but this was 1972 when England and America were stuck with Glen Campbell and Harry Nilsson. Fantastic.
Also from 1972; th-cam.com/video/DJgMyk5vJ20/w-d-xo.html And, demonstrating that Hawkwind had listened to Neu! th-cam.com/video/UVzMDYI0kjo/w-d-xo.html
This music gets so little credit but, like many have said, it was groundbreaking and innovative. It has this wonderful "alloverness" that makes it almost impossible to pick one thing out and follow it.
First time I heard this song (album) was in '90 in foreign exchange music program (Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp). I was with host family, and he was playing this album (this particular song was playing as I walked into their house). This totally blew my mind. New and unique to what I've heard (Metallica, AC/DC, etc.)
old memories.. in the context of time.. it was all new then.. Neu.. in German.. remembering the evenings spent with friends taking the time to listen to the music.. sharing the joy of these new sounds and creativity.. we had no walkman then.. only our good quality stereo system with the best of loudspeakers..
Fox Sports Cono Sur (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay) included an excerpt of this song in the announcements of the Grman Bundesliga's games between the seasons 2017-2018 and 2019-2020
I hear: Kraftwerk - Autobahn, Joy Division - No Love Lost, and Alien Sex Fiend- Zombiefied. Cool to hear an original source/potential source for so many different songs. Just found this at random too, never heard of this band or this song before.
Apparently Neu! were an influence on Joy Division/New Order drummer Stephen Morris, so you heard right! This also reminds me of Theme for Great Cities, an early Simple Minds track.
I recently listened to this album while heading west driving across Canada, we were in Saskatchewan driving across some fuckin desolate prairie during a heat wave. Was just me and my bro high out of are minds. Such a memorable experience it was pure bliss.
bought Krautrock 3lp set.. early 1974, and this was first track i listened too.. one of the greatest 3lps i ever bought.. put me onto german and euro music and left behind the pop/mainstream forever
the same here, Richard. Bought the 3 LP set in 1974 (as you) and was thrilled by the first song, Hallogallo! The third LP is intesting too, more jazzy...
This is that music many people have heard in documentaries, desperately trying to Shazam it in the little gaps where the narrator isn't talking over it.
I'm compiling a list of the greatest singles of all time but have a '10 minute' rule. This is 10 minutes 8 seconds. You know what they say, rules are there to be broken!
@@j.b.8546 I'd happily share it but I've only worked my way through 1964 to 1984 and there is 3,242 songs on the list. And that's just the one's on iTunes so there are actually more. Think it might break YT comment section!
This played before Billy Idol gig, I didn't know it & had to do some serious digging to find it, but here I am, and so happy to have found this fantastic track.
Legend has it, they are still playing this song.
Stuck in a feedback loop forever
It's true...heard it in a Home Depot bathroom over the weekend@@kozmic4276

@@MoontownMoss When your mind, heart and soul are already in the right space, you don't need it. The music is magic on its own.
shutup hippie
@marinazolotic4347 They're right. It's good music to clean house to.
I can't disagree with you but I have to say that after a couple of grams of coke and a bottle of whiskey it slams pretty hard.
Thank you Iggy Pop for playing this on your Radio 6 show the other day and introducing me to a whole new world.
Super familiar with Iggy from Detroit/A2 times. Wow. Radio 6. Didn't know. Thanks man!
For 1972 this is unbelievably futuristic, wow!
Agreed
it is not futuristic, it is timeless.
I don't think anyone in the comments has used "beautiful" yet, but the guitar tone floating over the top really is.
jackal59 Rother liked to record himself for a while then play the tape backwards and re-record the same thing forward again over it. I think that’s what is going on in Hallogallo.
Oh yes. It is beautiful. And if he is really playing and recording it that way than it is beautifuly amazing or amazingly beautiful.
Finally a song with a nice guitar tone,today is littered with shredded cheese.
Gorgeous, just wish the stereo mix was done better, pretty annoying mix.
Funny, the first neu/kraftwerk album was called tone float
This is seriously one of the best songs ever made.
It's a tune! Songs have lyrics.
@@trevorgibb1019 Fair enough man.

Born in 1989, heard it in 2002, it changed my life

Who new drum machine had feelings...
Indeed one of the best beats that's consistent and perfect tempo
Bowie was still in his Ziggy phase when they made this. Low happened 5 years later.
Incredible.
Nico, Lou Reed, and John Cale already made a blueprint of this sound back in 67'. Just listen to It Was A Pleasure Then on Nico's solo debut. Neu! was definitely influenced by the Velvets, and that song in particular
2023 and just got hold of a CD of the album. 50 years on and still selling and still giving my neighbours a joyous sonic experience. Timeless.
I bought it on vinyl. Already had the CD. Just a magical tune.
This track is 50 years old and it's still epic!
I came for my NEU fix 😎
I came from Bowie, many thanks
I just discovered this masterpiece, It feels like driving with a huge car trough on a long road somewhere in the Usa with a wide horizon. Pure fun
It chugs along nicely Peter , welcome aboard!
It's a mile muncher!
The drum beat is described in German as "Die lange gerade" wich means "the long straight/stretch"
It is the never ending road.
This was recommended by a friend recently. The first time through I wasn't sure, but now I love it. Makes me want to get up and MOVE!
Das war für die Zeit so unglaublich weit vorn. Einfach nur großartig!

Das ist eine Musik Kultur wie es sie nicht mehr gibt,ausgestorben,kommt nie wieder. Wir haben die Zeit erlebt und gelebt.Und es war geil.

Bring it back
nothing is ever lost. the spirit lives on, just trust in the process
@bigdiddy25 I would agree it was a moment in time that can't be repeated but Motorik has cast a fairly long shadow nonetheless.
Schade
Das ist wunderbar.

This is that music many people have heard in documentaries, desperately trying to Shazam it in the little gaps where the narrator isn't talking over it.
Lief oft in der kleinen Discothek in Lindern im Hotel Schute! Und natürlich auch in der Scala in Lastrup!
I'm compiling a list of the greatest singles of all time but have a '10 minute' rule. This is 10 minutes 8 seconds. You know what they say, rules are there to be broken!
Can you share the list please? 😏
@@j.b.8546 I'd happily share it but I've only worked my way through 1964 to 1984 and there is 3,242 songs on the list. And that's just the one's on iTunes so there are actually more. Think it might break YT comment section!
@@j.b.8546 Philliben1991 has some youtube playlists on his channel for the best singles of 1964-1970 (one playlist per year)
its just so good
this transcends to eternity!
It does
Great stuff!
Listened to this by accident in 1973 ( I was 16). Love at first hear
Burt472 today same Good feeling at 1974 i 15 years old
it probably sounded like nothing you ever heard before
@@jaceyp.8457 True that
One of the most sublime
Please listen to Early Ultravox and see how they were influenced. 'Hiromshima Mon Amour' and ' Face to Face' specifically.
The guitar intro to Face to Face sounds remarkably like this track! Hallogallo is a masterpiece
Beautifull
Perfect to sleep or study to!
Aphex twin!
I only listen to Krautrock while asleep. I just have my friends insert the headphones once I hit REM.
@@killianborman246 I’ll get the Mrs to do that for me 😂

You couldn't imagine anyone else creating a track like this in 2020.
Sei Still
elder covered wessensee and made it into its own beautiful song in 2019 check it out!
Check Mood Taeg 2MR
You clearly haven’t heard of DIIV then haha
See Pharaoh Overlord, especially the 3rd album... predates 2020 by a while but merits a listen.
This is a really big influence on Hawkwind's 'Opa-Loka' from Warrior On The Edge Of Time from 1975. Both superb tracks.
Fuck yes. You nailed it. I absolutely LOVE Opa-Locka. My fave song off my fave album. Great call, man
Oh Lord.... Yessss I see what you mean....
This played before Billy Idol gig, I didn't know it & had to do some serious digging to find it, but here I am, and so happy to have found this fantastic track.
This is perfect music to have playing before most types of gig :)
@@IThinkYouLookLarvely This is the music to play in the stead of most gigs.
Ich höre immernoch neu und Kraftwerk und es ist jedesmal wie neu❤
