Experimental group formed in West Berlin, 1980
The band is notable for predominantly using custom built instruments constructed out of scrap metal and power tools.
Their name in English literally means "Collapsing New Buildings"
You may well think OMG! weird experimental stuff but actually this music has a pretty rhythmic beat and I have heard far more chaotic music than this - I actually found myself being drawn into the music, its a bit mesmerising!
EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN - Strategies Against Architecture II
Reihe EGO
Cat# POTOMAK EGO Nr. 112
1991
German release
Multi-CD case is in very good condition. Inside is a fold out booklet and an original 'ordering' card for various LP's and CD releases.
Both CD media are in very good condition, visually inspected under a bright white halogen light source and I can see NO marks or scratches on either CD. Just looking at the media can be deceptive (I have seen many 'perfect' looking CD's that have play problems, mainly because they were not pressed correctly) so I then played this ENTIRE release, both discs and every single track, not a single issue at all - very nice playback, if somewhat strange and MOST lyrics are in German (but not all).
SPECIAL NOTE: I spent a bit of time checking out Disc I Track 3 (Z,N,S) which has these weird 'crackles' of very short duration occuring sometimes throughout this one track. I double checked my equipment (TASCAM 601), my patch panels and all cables and I am absolutely sure it is actually the recording - it sounds like a live feed but a connection is breaking slightly, cutting on and off - just an annoying crackle. It is nothing like a CD optical/digital reading error! NO other track has this weird sound.
