Antiguo Autómata Mexicano - “Rother. Dinger. You and Me.” from 2007’s Kraut Slut.

AAM may be the least subtle Neu! fans in Mexico. The song title gives it away.

That said, this track — and album — while certainly Harmonia influenced, doesn’t sound too much like Neu!. It sounds like the mid-period minimal tracks from Kraftwerk. Think second-halves of Autobahn or Radioactivity with a bit of a drive.

I first saw them live at Decibel Festival 2007 in Seattle. They sounded very different than this. They were full-on Suicide/DAF style synth-punk, and they absolutely destroyed. It was a little disappointing to not hear that when I bought this, but Kraut Slut is a good album anyway, especially if you like minimal techno.
