Análisis - Product Description
In 1984 ROIR, then a cassette-only record label, released a LIVE cassette-only European concert tape by EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN ("Collapsing New Buildings"). E/N's "2 x 4" has become a classic, receiving both lavish praise from the press and commercial success from its legions of fans (over 20,000 cassettes sold). AVAILABLE NOW ON CD (REMASTERED).

Since 1980 these conceptual avant-garde anti-artists have released over twenty recordings on labels such as Mute, Some Bizarre, Rough Trade, Thirsty Ear, Homestead, Etc. Their newest studio recording "Ende Nue" has just come out in Germany on Rough Trade and will be released in the U.S. by Nothing Records early in 1998 in connection with an extensive U.S. tour.

OF THE 1984 "2 X 4" RELEASE:

"FAR AND AWAY THE MOST LISTENABLE RECORDING FROM THE PREMIERE NOISIESTS. ALMOST AS RIVETING AS SEEING THEM IN PERSON." ROCKPOOL 85'

"NO ONE MAKES A MIGHTIER OR MORE EXHILARATING NOISE THAN GERMANY'S EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN. THEIR MUSIC WITH IT'S HYPNOTIC PERCUSSIVE RIFFS AND SONIC SQUALLS, HAS REAL FORM & SUBSTANCE. NONE OF THE NEUBAUTEN STUDIO RECORDS HAS QUITE MANAGED TO CAPTURE IT'S OVERWHELMING LIVE SOUND. THIS ALBUM ADDRESSES THAT PROBLEM." Kurt Loder- Liner Notes/1984

- industrial life

Well, two Seinsucht's for the price of one - that alone should justify the purchase of the premiere Live industrial album.

Like many, I had purchased this on tape, and like many I wore that tape out letting it cycle thru over and over again. It's only eight songs, short of fifty minutes - skimpy for a cd.

But the songs capture the feel of live performance. I saw them in Myrtle Edwards Park (with the Burlington Northern freight trains roaring past) in Seattle's epic free concert, and nothing was really canned.

While not entirely impromptu, it was certainly immediate. 2x4 is the best intro to Neubauten, and ROIR was right to simply reproduce the original cassette.

- true "industrial" - groundbreaking

This live album is what "industrial" music is really all about. E.N. are the true pioneers of industrial music before it's mergence with techno. Not for the musically squeemish. I find this album still thoroughly enjoyable, even 10 years later. If you enjoy REAL industrial music, buy this album.

- Not My Cup Of Tea....

I'm a fan of the later E.N. records so this one was way too "industrial" for me. Lot's of gutteral screaming and also just poorly recorded. It seems those who like the early stuff often don't care for the later works but I'm just the opposite. I think these guys grew into something special but to me this stuff is just nothing but noise.
