Neon Golden was a subtle rewiring of the Notwist's long-established baroque hip-hop post-rock fetishist technique. The album's minimal kitchen-sink vibe was stronger, the wide assortment of instruments were arranged with new conviction, and the band would throw in a startlingly unpretentious mixture of tub-thumbing static, cellos, banjos, organs, and breakbeats while Markus Acher's Belle & Sebastian-styled vocals flowed underneath like island run-off. In "This Room," "Pick Up the Phone," "Off the Rails," and the excellent "Consequence," the intricacy of the band's sound remained, but with less experimental desperation and considerably better ideas.

"They were great! They keyboard player kinda makes me want to buy a VW? Watch out h...

A friend make me a couple of mixed CDs recently, and there were a couple of curious and fascinating tracks that essentially blew me away...I called her to ask where I can find them, and she said that according to a friend of hers, Neon Golden was (and is I suppose) their very best work...so I bought a used copy through Amazon, and I cannot recommend enough that anyone reading this do the same.

If anyone ask me that question, i will say file-sharing is fucking great! Finally, i got this song. Bravo!You're the colour, you're the movement and the spin. (Never)Could it stay with me the whole day long? Fail with consequence, lose with eloquence and smile. I'm not in this movie I'm not in this song. Never Leave me paralyzed, love. Leave me hypnotized, love. You're the colour, you're the mo...

I do this a lot: if a band name sounds like something I wouldn't like, I probably won't listen to it. At least for awhile. While sometimes I'm right to judge a band by its name (examples: panic! at the disco - ucky - hoobastank - ha - she wants revenge - these guys bother me. the lead singer doesn't even play an instrument, they SUCKED at the depeche mode concert this summer, and they are ...

greetings, fellow moggers.according to my mog-o-meter, I am smoking. and you know what they say; when there's smoke, there is the inherent need to listen to electronic german music.also, there is the need to study for french tests. I leave you with the humor of Demetri Martin:"I bought a cactus. A week later, it died. And I got depressed, because I thought 'Damn. I am less nurturing than a dese...

My German is a bit rusty (ja, mein deutsch ist sehr schlecht), and in this German speaking trailer of The Notwist documentary, I can only understand the conversations about the weather.As you might've guessed, the mystery will be revealed in its entirety — On|Off The Record is a full-length feature with English subtitles (thank goodness). Shot in 2002 by Joerg Adolph over 70 days during the pro.

When this album first came out in 03 I had no idea who The Notwist were or more importantly, what they sounded like. To me they looked like some scandinavian metal band and I have to be in a certain mood to listen to scandinavian metal. So I didn't make that purchase. Four years later I listen to it all the time. They're not scandinavian metal.

I have been listening to this cd quite a bit, and these German indie rockers know whats up. I've been hitting up some of their older stuff and it's just awesome. I have not a clue what they are up to and if they are up for another album. These guys are becoming a favorite of mine.

The Notwist are another under appreciated German Indie group. It's very hard to categorize them since they have a tendancy to span genres.The Notwist recently formed a supergroup with Themselves named 13 & God, whose eponymous debut was released in 2005. Markus Acher, in addition to his work with The Notwist and 13 & God, also works with the band Lali Puna, while Martin Messerschmidt now also p...

A simple and beautiful song about alienation.You'll no longer be kissed and kind,as you long for intuition,as you have to learn the lesson twice.You'll no longer be kissed and kind,as you long for intuition,as you have to say the password twice.Have you ever,have you ever,been all messed up?Have you ever?You're the pin card,you're the lifeguard,you're the information guy,but things look much bi...
