Neu!

German krautrock band formed in Düsseldorf in 1971 by [a=Klaus Dinger] and [a=Michael Rother], after their split from [a=Kraftwerk]. The group's albums were produced by [a=Conny Plank], who has been regarded as the group's "hidden member". Though [a=Neu!] had minimal commercial success during its existence, the band is retrospectively considered one of the founders of krautrock and a significant influence on a variety of subsequent rock, post-punk, and electronic music artists.
