The song, which originally featured on the Japanese version of 2005's Don't Believe The Truth, was also included on this year's Neu! tribute record Brand Neu!.
Rother told The Quietus: "I very much enjoyed listening to that compilation. 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."
He added: "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**k Buttons on there."
