The Quietus' man of metal Dr Rock recently interviewed kosmische legend Michael Rother ....

During the course of the interview, Rother was asked about his thoughts on the Brand Neu! compilation, released earlier this year to much hoo-ha and complaints from Neu! fans upset at the inclusion of Oasis track 'I Can See It Now'.

But it seems as if the man from Neu! himself isn't with the haters: "I very much enjoyed listening to that compilation," he told us. "To be honest, I also quite like the Oasis track. I mention that because I read in some reviews that they got a bit of a beating. It was of course surprising to read that Noel Gallagher expressed his admiration for Neu! and that he convinced his brother to adopt some of the ideas. When I heard that Oasis single 'The Shock Of The Lightning', I immediately understood the idea behind that, the fast-forward movement, the strong surge in combination with a Beatles-esque sound. To me that's an interesting combination, Neu! crossed with Beatles ideas. But some of the bands on Brand Neu! don't impress me that much. I would have liked to have f*** Buttons on there."
