The early records of some genres put their idioms into a context thanks to these being in a constant development. Krautrock, for instance, didn't really devolve that much as the other styles I spoke of in here, though one can tell the early platters there were something else indeed. Neu with an exclamation point, for instance, felt like they came from outer space without actually sounding like what this phrase mostly suggests. Sure, they had an alien language in their understanding of rock as many of their peers, which meant they transformed the brand into something completely different to paraphrase a famous comedy group, but they were even weirder than that. You had a feeling you stumbled upon a strange dimension, where no ordinary rules apply.
