i agree w/ gmku, neu! may have had a slight influence on SY but they aren't the only or the most prominent influence on the group at that time (near the end of the no-wave era). neu! were good and very interesting band i think they were more interesting than Can though but hardly that out there as compared to the other krautrock bands during that time like Brainticket, Guru Guru, Amon Duul II, Organisation (pre-Kraftwerk), or Ashra Tempel... etc etc.
I think Harmonia (which feat. some Neu members w/ Cluster) is more "experimental" than Neu!
btw, i always felt Neu! should've steered away from those awful vocals they had on their last album '75...
