The last record I remember was Neu. Hey! Bob! My Friend! seems to be the first one that came out here. I remember what a bizarre artifact that was. A brief look at their discography shows they have been busy since then, indeed. It's good they're still out there.

Yeeeeah.

Their albums were pretty cheap too. 12 bucks and a free poster. Dang. Wish I'd partaken. But maybe I'll seek some out elsewise.
