Neu! had many fans and two of them thought it appropriate enough to name their band after one of Neu!'s songs.
Negativland formed in 1979 around two high schoolers Mark Hosler and Richard Lyons. They recorded their debut album Negativland in 1980 and self-published it on their own Seeland Records (another Neu! reference) as they felt they ought to accomplish something before graduating high school. They were joined by then-cable repairman David Wills (who officially joined the group) and a couple of high school friends (who did not). The album is a series of sound collages, tape manipulations, and the occasional song-like recording. Each individual album also had its own unique cover with the one above being the "official" cover found on the band's website.
Here is the discography surrounding Negativland's debut album:
