Einsturzende Neubauten - Kollaps

Genteel Death · 03.19.2010, 04:32 PM

Let's worship at the altar of a record that truly deserves the innovative medal. This record never seems to age, every time I listen to it there is always something new I find out about.

One of those - like Faust IV - where I say, "It can't possibly be as good as I remember it" before its infrequent plays. And lo and behold, it really is that good.

Today alone I can't get my head around the fact that ''Steh Auf Berlin'' beats everyone at the noise, glitch, and musique concrete game. Effortlessly.

I saw that cheap the other day, almost bought it, may well shold have.

Has anyone heard of Sektor 304? Portuguese, a little Neubauten, a little Swans. Some heavy bass. Good stuff.

track on here called "The Beast" is particularly dirg-y.

I think Drawings of Patient O.T. is a much better and more interesting album.

atsonicpark · 03.23.2010, 09:22 AM

Yeah, decent album.

I think what adds to the appeal of Kollaps amongst us folks of a certain age is the memory of first hearing it.

I can't separate the record from the occasion. And as such it's up there with the best albums ever recorded.

That's my personal favourite too, basically because it was my first EN.
Kollaps is totally different though, it has this certain kind of fragility and energy, it's quite unique and hard to describe (at least for me).
O.T. is much more conceptual, whereas Kollaps seems to just erupt.

anyways,
I'll stop my bullshit wankery now...
here's something more interesting:

(that's the same vid I postet in the jukebox thread, Kollaps - Festival Genialer Dilettanten. 1981)

I love SAA vol.1 and Kalte Sterne but I still haven't gotten around buying Kollaps. I probably should.
