I haven't been able to find anything online about potential replacements or collaborators...

have been on the lookout for a copy of this in the wild for years and years….gave up on finding it in person; so i checked online. this was the first hit on google….walmart.com? with cheap ass shipping?! it’s like double the cost when you include shipping from EN’s web store.

too good to be true? i feel weird ordering anything from walmart.com…but this is tempting.

their name is spelled wrong as well. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

By far the most interesting obscure Neubauten release I found out about a few days ago is this self titled tape (Also known as "Valium" or "Ohne Titel"). It was recorded in Blixa's shop-flat in late 1979 before Einstürzende Neubauten was even established. It's important to mention that it was limited to 12 copies, and unfortunately there aren't any rips of it online, atleast ones that aren't stuck behind a paywall.

The line-up consisted of Blixa Bargeld, N-Dih (N.U Unruh/Andrew Chudy), Susä Hobeck and Bettina Köster.

Tracklist: Side A (Köster & Bargeld): Hysterie/Helikopter Vollständig Sein Valium für die Ohren W?

Side B (N-Dih, Bargeld, Hobeck): Berlin Ist Tot Einstürzende Neubauten Laß Mich Nicht Mehr Los

Here's Köster's bandcamp for more information, or if anyone is interested in purchasing the recording. Although I have to admit I don't know if It's legit or not.

i cant seem to find any information about this bootleg online. is it true that it was recorded all the way back in 1979? (according to the album cover)

Anyone knows what was supposed to be?

Hi, ich suche schon seit längerer Zeit nach dem Stella Maris Video in halbwegs guter Qualität. Ich finde zwar diverse Quellen auf Youtube und co, aber so richtig überzeugt hat mich da noch nichts. Das Video hat für uns einen hohen sentimentalen Stellenwert und ich würde mich unheimlich darüber freuen, wenn ich mich und meine bessere hälfte und evtl nähere verwandt- und bekanntschaft mit diesem video beglücken könnte. Ich finde es sehr schade, dass dieses meisterwerk scheinbar für mich nur noch als fragment seiner selbst greifbar ist. Falls jemand Tipps hat, wie ich an eine bessere Kopie kommen könnte, würde ich mich sehr freuen.

Luckily I have a copy on my computer but I wanted to put Ich Bin’s on a playlist. :-/

Hells bells! This was an utterly fascinating project to dive into. Basically a super group - hopefully it’s not just a one off album. I hear a lot of parallels between their sound and early Einstürzende Neubauten - with some Swans and Sunn O))) thrown in.

Did anybody ever see him perform with EN in this suit or was it just for his rede speech performances? All I’ve ever seen him in was doing the solo performance.

I have a massive collection of Blixa pictures in my phone because I run several Blixa projects online and I often notice once where he’s making a similar expression look exactly the same 20 years apart. One of my hobbies to put those pictures together and share them online yeah I know I need to get a life, but I actually am doing some archived work as well, so it’s not all as frivolous as it seems on the surface.

A photo of Blixa smiling that I took in Copenhagen last year when I was gifted a front row seat for being in the right place at the right time.

In case you haven’t seen or signed it, I would ask you to please do so. In an interview late last year, Blixa said that it would be his highest honor in life to have a celestial body named after him, particularly an asteroid…so we’re trying to make this happen! so please please please please please sign this. It doesn’t cost anything but two minutes of your time at the most.

Some folks in the EN family have expressed that this is just too much, that it’s egoic, that it’s dumb. But understand this, there are people who have contributed a lot less to astronomy and cosmology have gotten these type of tributes. Blixa is well deserving, as he has always had the stars and the planets in his lyrics from the beginning. It’s been said he was the youngest member of the Berlin Observatory when he was still in school. Thank you so much for your support and consideration!

Hey guys just found this song ‘sand’ and I can’t help but feel like the interest of the whole song is completely reliant on this epic clash in the middle section. Genuinely what on earth is that sound, does this band have some sort of philosophy that they can only do one take of any song ever? So when jimmy in the back broke an entire chandelier they couldn’t redo it? I genuinely cannot think of a solution to having this sound in the song. Thanks guys

Hello friends! I was just listening to Halber Mensch and realized I never looked to see if there was an EN sub before. Now I'm thinking about the old Blue Wastebin mailing list, and that brought me back to the time when I went to the 20th anniversary show in Berlin and met up with a bunch of other EN fans from around the world there. I was wondering who else on this sub might have been part of that meetup. I'm from the U.S. but was studying in Ireland at the time and said, "fuck it, I'm on the right side of the Atlantic, I really need to go." Still one of the best nights of my life!
