Description

Book Synopsis

Perhaps the best musical encapsulation of the Cold War as experienced in the walled city of West-Berlin, Kollapsis a product of its time while remaining as vital, exhilarating and surprising as the day it was released.

The book explores the contexts, themes and influences that shaped Kollaps.It describes the early days of Einstürzende Neubauten in West-Berlin, their infamous live performances and guerilla style recording tactics, and the scrap metal banging, piercing guitar noise and evocative lyricism that went on to inspire generations of fans. Most significantly, it explores the desire and deep sense of belonging that is expressed by what Nick Cave called the 'incredibly mournful, haunting' nature of this music. The beginning of a 40-year career, this first burst of energy remains their purest statement.
