Synopsis
Album Description
French reissue of the German industrial act's 1981 debut album. Includes one bonus track 'Schiess Euch Ins Blut'. Spalax Music.
"Negative Nein stands for positive in mathematical logic; that is what this album is about. Building from destruction. It is an extreme research in noise, bringing us new rythms, scales and harmonies. What else need I say?
Everyone should have this album.
As simple as that."
The jackhammer stuff

"This is one on their earliest works. Before Neubauten, noise was usually electronica or perhaps classical dissidence, Staukhausen say. In Kollaps, the creation of noise becomes a direct and barbaric pursuit, as angry as any punk but freed from the rules of rock and roll. Percussion becomes all.
This mainly means banging and slamming anything and everything. Blixa sings like he is trying to harm his vocal cords, and the synths fill the air with the crackling of the mad scientist's laboratory.
Plus, on this cd, you get a live version of Negativ Nein, a song where even the lyrics are merely percussive punning."
Is inexplicable. Strange. Behind a limit of goods and evil..

"This is the way the world ends.Progress is a comfortable disease. On this album antimusic sounds. Therefore five stars. GURAM ANDGULALZE."
Mammy what are the scary Germans are doing now

"This is a scary CD to listen. It is Neubauten at their most extreme and it can appear to be unlistenable at times. Not recommended to everyone but if you made your way here and bought it the only feeling you'll ever get is that you are to blame if you don`t like it or if you do like it - keep it down low so that nobody else complains about it"
Deconstruction Time Again

"You know, sometimes you just end up getting yelled at no matter what you do. Well, Blixa Bargeld is more than willing to accommodate in that department. And he'll screech, scream, and caterwaul at you too. Occasionally, just to make sure you are paying attention, he whispers (ominously). (That he does so in German renders his harangues all the more perplexing if you don't speak the language. If you do, well, good for you.) All the while, he and the rest of the Neubauten Gang flail, pound, scrape and clang with all the subtlety of jackhammers and power tools. (Okay, so they actually USE such implements.) Which isn't to say this is all just a bunch of structureless noise - - far from it. Their take on "Je T'aime" (phonetically retitled "Jet 'M"), in fact, is almost tender; no wonder it's less than 1:30 long and an instrumental, sort of. You might not be inclined to dance to any of this, but it definitely makes for compelling listening. Far from any intended nihilism, far from sounding as if they are gleefully heralding any apocalypse, Einsturzende Neubauten on KOLLAPS actually sounds more like a crew of intrepidly industrious construction workers with a particularly unreasonable foreman. And that's what you get for listening, so there. Hor' mit ein Sense of Humor."
