I usually listen to my album of the day early in the morning before the rest of the family awake and whilst I potter around. That wasn't possible with Einstürzende Neubauten. This album completely challenges perceptions of what music is and what makes music and what music can be. Whilst it is generally unlistenable, there are aspects and sequences and elements which are and despite few instruments and lots of noise from found objects. Is this music or just sound? Is our brain making patterns in order to make sense of it? Are we trying to understand this in a coherent way? Why are some elements melodic and others just freaking smashing plates? Informing and influencing other styles, such as hardcore, industrial and even (surely?) techno, there is no doubt this is an important and significant album and way more meritorious of its spot as an album you must listen to before you die than countless others on the list.
