2024 Repress. Neu! were formed by Kraftwerk members Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger who took the sparse early Kraftwerk electronic sound and utilized many effects like lock-groove rhythms and minimalist melodies currently used by today's electronic artists.

In his famous Natural History, Buffon tells us that “peasants used to believe that the nightjar, a bird of twilight, entered barns at nightfall to suckle milk from livestock.” Originally, the nightjar was simply a bird, later transformed by…
