Editorial Reviews 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

"It succeeds in capturing the real feeling better than it would from studio tracks. Captivates and draws you in."
NME 1985
"A remarkably riotous rhythm energy from a metallic tonescape."
