"Neon Golden" by The Notwist

[martino]

i like this group. they are german, which often spells disaster and implies techno heartburn, but in this case i say they are pretty sweet guys who sing in english and have a way with melodies.

i like this record. it grows on you (no i don't mean like mould). they got 4 outta 5 stars in Q Magazine which i hope you agree is the Best Commercial Music Publication around (www.q4music.com).

somebody who has an Issue with Capital Letters wrote this about Neon Golden in amazon.com:

"Minimalistic and Subtly Charming, this Album Picks Up Somewhat Where Young Marble Giants' 'colossal Youth' Left Off. Simple Melodies, Deadpan Vocals, Ethereal Lyrics. Notwist Just have So Many More Dimensions to their Sound. An Instant Classic Has Emerged Amid the Clash of Nu-metal and Pop, Definitively Alternative. It May Take a Few Listens for Some, but this is Just Plain Great Stuff...eventually, You'll Get It! "

i agree

I'll check this out. I like German music: Neu, Kraftwerk, Can, Tarwater, To I Rocco, Stereo Total (one of my fav bands ever! part French as well)Nico, Nina, and my friends Ralley.

But Mojo is the best music mag, with Uncut up there as well, because it comes with a free compact disc every month. Just never buy American music mags, they suck! Like rotten eggs. Long live Lester Bangs!

neon golden is fantastic, i've been listening to it nonstop for the past week +. shrink is one of my favorite records of all time.

neon golden hasn't been released here yet (it's here as an import) so it costs mass bank... mccutcheon if you want to make a copy of the copy my friend burned for me, let me know.
