[kj] NEU! KJ influence?

[sade1]

You are more right in your post than you know.  I've read interviews (all hail The Irrational Domain site!) where KJ mention Neu and Kraftwerk and either PiL/SxPstls (or both) as influences.  
Relatedly, there's also the wide and quirky range of Geordie's influences: Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), James Edward Page, Niles Rogers (Chic! and many others), Jeff Beck, and Aram Khachaturian (the circus song), among others.

greetings- 
 pardon if this has already been talked over, or common knowledge..
 I glanced somewhere recently about the band 'NEU' (early 70's band formed by 2 ex Kraftwerk members)  being one of the big influences on Malcom Mclaren when forming the Sex Pistols (also a PIL influence) - but NEU seems to have a string of pretty significant bands they influenced. 
when I pulled up the song 'Negativeland', once the song gets going it has a total framework for "Wardance" - I mean its no stretch to say there is a close resemblance. 
Have they ever been mentioned as a KJ influence?
