Neu! - Crazy/ Euphoria

We scored a few of these Record Store Day things and this was one of 'em. I was ludicrously excited when I heard it was coming out being a bit of a fan 'n all. Here's you get 2 tracks from Neu '86 and when I stuck Euphoria on I didn't expect it to sound like Tiffany 'I Think We're Alone Now'. I mean you can hear it's Neu underneath it all... all the ingredients are there but the production is very very mid 80's and if I'm honest, kinda cheesy sounding. It is very euphoric sounding though so I'd give it that. I suppose that is the B side (I fancied a change). The A side 'Crazy' is much better. The 1st time I hard it I didn't like it but after listening to Euphoria I like it much more now. It's weirdly reassuring to hear Klaus Dinger shouting Crazy Me, Crazy You Over and over again over a fast cyclical beat and some slightly crass sounding rock guitars. Krautrock was never very good in the 80's though so don't expect geniusness....
