NEU! - Hallogallo

Sunday, time for a classic!

"Hallogallo" is a tune by German krautrock band NEU!, taken from the debut album Neu!. It was released in 1972 by Brain Records. It was the first album recorded by the duo of Michael Rother and Klaus Dinger after leaving KRAFTWERK in 1971. They continued to work with producer Konrad "Conny" Plank, who had also worked on the KRAFTWERK recording sessions. They released three albums in their initial incarnation—Neu! (1972), Neu! 2 (1973), and Neu! 75 (1975)—before disbanding in 1975. They briefly reunited in the mid-1980s.

Though NEU! had minimal commercial success during its existence, the band is retrospectively considered a central act of West Germany's 1970s krautrock movement. They are known for pioneering the "motorik" beat, a minimalist 4/4 rhythm associated with krautrock artists. Their work has exerted a widespread influence on genres such as electronica and punk.

Enjoy today's tune "Hallogallo" (Play on "Halligalli", a German slang term for "wild partying", with the word "hallo" being German for "hello").
