Wednesday, February 25, 2009 ZANE LOOOOOOOWE........played Race For The Bone! Last night! The king of motormouth DJs called for texts at the end of the song and the reaction was beautifully split between one hater and a bunch of lovers - one bigged it up as "a mix between Hot Chip, Cypress Hill and the background music from a Bruce Lee film, remixed by The Prodigy". Which is exactly right.
^^^great things promised by their own Myspace blog here

From that description, I can see that they'd be the natural choice for a tribute to Neu!.

I did a piece with Michael Rother a few years ago where I sent him a CD of obviously Neu!-influenced songs and asked him to comment. A while later, the label asked me to suggest some tunes for a tribute album but it fell apart when Klaus Dinger vetoed it and I never heard from them again. Primal Scream and Fujiya & Miyagi (but not that tune) overlap with my list. The rest, including Stereolab, Secret Machines and OMD, didn't make it for whatever reason.
Anyway, what I wonder is how long they waited until after Dinger's death before reviving the project.

If someone seriously tries to make a tribute release worse or more pointless than anything Cleopatra Records has made, I will personally send them a Tiara Of Lol
