NEU! Tribute Album
(Grönland Records)

As we all know, each Neu track plays forever in some other corner of the Multiverse. If that one chord does the job, why shift it? When I first heard this album, I found myself staring at the wall, some odd peace doing the rounds of Ye Olde Cardiovascular System. It’s unashamedly itself: crisp, repetitive, full of quiet magic. No shit prog false grandeur. There are soft melodic rills running over here and there but there’s no showing off. I don’t like the idea of the rework. The National? Christ on a carbon bike. What are we supposed to do with that? They made a finished work first time around; there’s bugger all anyone could do with it worth talking about.
