West Berlin (1980 – present)
Einstürzende Neubauten is an ever-changing musical entity, originally formed in West Berlin, on the 1st of April of 1980. Neubauten were initially seen as part of the second wave of industrial bands, filling the space left when Throbbing Gristle terminated their mission. Neubauten’s early output fit the term “industrial” well, as it (ab)used the sounds of machinery, metal-on-metal, construction-site equipment, and treated tape loops, creating harsh soundscapes and rhythmic textures reminiscent of krautrock. Their inclusion on the record label Some Bizarre, with acts like Foetus, Coil, and Test Dept., consolidated this position as new industrial pioneers.
However, Neubauten soon outgrew the confines of even the broad scope of industrial music. In their 25-plus years, they have produced a dozen studio albums, live records, a remix album and EP, scored theatre pieces, and more.
Lead vocalist Blixa Bargeld is perhaps the best-known member of the group, both for his work with Neubauten and as guitarist for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. His fellow founding members Alexander Hacke and N.U. Unruh have likewise been active in various musical roles outside the group over the years.
Bassist Mark Chung was a member of the group from 1981 to 1994. He founded the publishing house Freibank Music Publishing to handle business affairs for Neubauten and other groups, and has continued in this role (concurrently serving as a senior vice-president of Sony Music International for nine years). Percussionist FM Einheit was a member from 1981 to 1995, and has also been active as a solo artist and member of groups such as Gry.

Drawings of Patient OT is a good one. (I once pulled an all nighter while writing a term paper and listened to Patient OT on repeat the whole time. That may have permanently affected my brain, come to think...)

halber mensch is one of my favorite albums like i said in the throbbing gristle shoutbox i feel that industrial music was a large part of the broad acceptance of hip hop among the more experimental segment of society due to their similarities and these guys certainly are that transitionary stage without which none of that would have come about

I'm just starting off with these guys too. Listened to Alles Weider and Halber Mensch - quite something I must say. Really industrial, harsh, dirty and downright scary at points...but oh so seductive at the same time :D :D :D
