75 is the third studio album by German krautrock band Neu!, released in February 1975 on Brain Records.
Fact described the album's sound as "spartan psych-rock set to power driven drum tracks," while Thomas Jerome Seabrook identified it with kosmische Musik.
[2][3] The track "Hero" inspired many musicians of the time, including John Lydon of the Sex Pistols, and is considered an example of proto-punk.
Reflecting that the band "took the repetitive pulse of rock, stretched it out and wove lush, shifting layers of sound over the framework to produce a distinctive, hypnotic music which, whilst undeniably rock, was definitely outside-looking-in," he stated that this style reached its "full fruition" on the "pivotally important" album.
[11] Ben Sisario of The New York Times described the album and its predecessors as "landmarks of German experimental rock".
