Editing Neu! 2 (section)

== Overview ==
This album further focused the classic Neu! krautrock sound,<ref name="AM"/> with the 11-minute "Für Immer" in particular being the archetypal example of their style -- a forward-driving vamping, propelled by [[Klaus Dinger]]'s drumming and [[Michael Rother]]'s layered guitar with its fluid lines and [[Drone (music)|droning]] harmonic structure. ''[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]]'' described the album as featuring a [[proto-punk]] sound,<ref name="Pitchfork">{{cite web |last=Sirota |first=Brent S. |title=Neu!

Side 2 of the record caused consternation at the time. Neu! had quite simply run out of money to finish recording the album, so the second side consists entirely of their previously released single "[[Super/Neuschnee|Neuschnee/Super]]", manipulated at various playback speeds on a record player, or mangled in a cassette recorder. Critics at the time dismissed this as a cheap gimmick and a rip-off. While it was indeed an [[Experimental music|experiment]] born of desperation and necessity, it was entirely in keeping with Neu!'s [[pop art]] aesthetics, taking a "ready-made" sound object and re-presenting it with a series of stylized manipulations, and also quite in keeping with the way Neu!'s music deconstructed and pared down the form of [[rock music]]. Dinger subsequently pointed to side 2 as being a prototype of the now ubiquitous multiple [[Remix|remixes]] which typically accompany any [[Pop music|pop]] single release.
