Einsturzende Neubauten
Rampen - APM: Alien Pop Music
Double LP version. Black vinyl. Einstürzende Neubauten present their new album Rampen (apm: alien pop music). Since the band was founded on April 1, 1980, Einstürzende Neubauten have been shifting the parameters of mainstream and subculture to make the inaudible audible -- perhaps the unheard as well. This experimental field research, spanning more than four decades, is now entering the next stage. In its 44th year of existence, the band is going back to its roots while redefining itself. It's a…
Decoder - The Soundtrack
A cult classic of sci-fi dystopia, Decoder saw Neubauten’s members working alongside Genesis P-Orridge and William S. Burroughs. It’s one of the strangest (and most prescient) films of the decade
Grundstück
*2022 stock* With Grundstück, a real rarity is being released on the commercial market for the first time: Originally issued in 2005 as a small limited edition, the much sought-after album is now officially available as a CD and also for the first time ever as an LP, each including a DVD with previously unpublished film recordings of the project and an extensive booklet. With their noise-laden anti-pop, Einstürzende Neubauten has established itself as one of the most radical, unpredictable and u…
Greatest Hits
After a 35-year career, it's about time for a first ever 'Greatest Hits' release from this influential German band. This is the regular version on 140-gram vinyl. A download code is included.
Alles Wieder Offen
Working outside normal record business market mechanisms, Einstürzende Neubauten recorded this album over some 200 days in their own studio funded by their world-wide network of subscribing supporters via www.neubauten.org. Possibly informed by the title of 2000's Silence Is Sexy, the word on the international music scene was that Einstürzende Neubauten had become calmer, quieter even. Alles Wieder Offen blows this assumption out of the water; it is an urgent and compelling album in every aspect…
Haus Der Lüge
Einstürzende Neubauten pushes the industrial humor to new creative peaks; taking a genre of music only meant to offend and confuse people into even more ***ed up territories. The music is surprisingly tragic, strangely moving, and is an experience that can only be called 'artistic'.
Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T. (Drawings Of Patient O.T.)
*Reissue of the 1983 album, originally released on Some Bizzare and Rough Trade* "Einstürzende Neubauten's second album marks a radical progression in the band's sound as well as a revolutionary step forward in the realms of industrial and experimental music.
Bassist Marc Chung (ex-Abwärts) and electronics engineer Alexander Hacke (later a member of Crime And The City Solution) joined the band during this time, and singer Blixa Bargeld also became a full-time member of Nick Cave And The Bad See…
Kollaps
*Reissue of the 1981 album, originally released on Zickzack* "Einstürzende Neubauten's first studio record. They established themselves as relentless and pioneering right out of the gate, bringing power tools and metallic percussion into the mix in a never before seen way. This album is more consistent than a lot of their later records, and the standard is very high across the record, but it's still very much a band finding themselves. You can feel the members doing something awesome, but you c…
Fuenf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala
*Reissue of the 1987 album, originally released on What's so funny.* "Like watching a stalker cleverly follow its prey for miles, only to watch it shy away just short of lodging a knife into the back of the followed, Fünf Auf der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala (Five on the Open-Ended Richter-Scale) is Einstürzende Neubauten at their unsettling, gripping, and tension-ridden best. It was also the group's most subdued and measured work to that point, organic dark ambient that rarely utilized the ch…
Strategies Against Architecture IV
"Strategies Against Architecture IV is a double disc release that collates the band's output from 2002-2010, a period which saw Einstürzende Neubauten release Perpetuum Mobile, embark on the Musterhaus series (a collection of very limited edition experimental albums that were available exclusively via the band's website), the release of Grundstück (2005), Palast der Republik (2006: material from the band's deeply symbolic appearance at Berlin's Palast der Republik -- the former seat of power of …
Ende Neu
Reissue of the 1996 album, originally released on Mute. The quintessential scientists of the post-avant-garde abstain from focusing on listener disintegration tactics as they did on prior albums, but opt instead to hone their craftmanship in new compositional areas. Dark, focused explosions, w/ theatrical strings & tightly-wound vocal structures.
