Avantgarde History is a CD-R compilation album created by Eberhard Kranemann of his work with artists such as Neu!

Eberhard had studied under Beuys, and the artist is featured with Pissoff on the first track, recorded in Düsseldorf's Creamcheese club.

This is a retrospectively named ensemble consisting of Schneider and Kranemann, both of whom would go on to play in the band Kraftwerk.

Later in 2009, Kranemann made available a CD-R featuring solely his live recordings of Neu!

This featured longer versions of the tracks included on the compilation: The CD-R was again released via Kranemann's Kunsthaus Boltenberg label.
