It feels like being dropped in the heart of the Amazon jungle: a rich coloration of genres: rock, world music, big band requiems, theater music and jazz with animals whispering or shouting dada lyrics. Just listen…

They manage to create a tense atmosphere, engaging the listener in a horror-ish ride trough a gigantic universe. The musical arrangement is like a set of massive cog-wheels ready to trap the wanderer between their teeth.

From a structural point of view ,F.M. Einheit is Einsturzende Neubauten’s backbone. With his custom-made instruments he is a true sound demolisher and architect. “Over a period of five years he created music for Muller’s adaptation of the Prometheus myth, Edward Bond’s Lear, an interactive dance/theatre production Sensation Death, a version of the Faust legend (featuring Blixa as Mephisto!) and several others yet to be released”( see link below). This album is part of the above mentioned work.
