Having just heard '75 for the first time ever (in full), I'm slightly in love and compelled to ask your opinion on the band's 2 most heralded works - the debut, and their 1975 record. Two krautrock gems that seemed to have stood the test of time; which do you prefer? For me, the latter has the edge as I find their first album a little tedious at times 
As always, thanks for any feedback!!

75. Pre-Punk music  Even New Order is already there.

The debut. I find both equally boring but I'm giving the edge to the first one for the fantastic "Negativland".

I'm going with '75 here. Hard to believe they had already broken up at this point but re-united to record this album. What an influencial band!

Not fair to vote - I don't have the S/T album, I once has Neu! 2 but I couldn't really dig it, maybe i never gave it a chance, but I thought their ideas were sparse this time around. I only have Neu! '75 and it's a gem. This one I really like, a lot.

Couldn't get into either. Neu's a little too static and lifeless for me.

NEU! '75 - Influential Krautrock of the highest order.......(at least, taking the early Kraftwerk idealism to the next level which pre-dates Punk elements and attitudes). True Prog..........

I have tried both of these albums, actually several times. But I always feel kind of an outsider, nothing moves me here. No votes.
