1.0 out of 5 stars
A complete waste of time for all involved - especially you, November 17, 2001
This review is from: Ende Neu-Remixes (Audio CD)
Yuck! Einsturzende Neubauten's frontman - Blixa Bargeld - has always rebelled against being called an 'industrial' group. He may hate the term, but his band does have some of the genre's ingredients. Bargeld should have saved his interview passion for the one thing Neubauten is truly not - an 'electronic' group. The concept of this CD is lame. Techno DJs mixing great Neubauten tunes with (already) dated electronic style is not only dull, it's lame/stupid/any adjective you wish. The mixers try fast, they try slow, I enjoyed none of it. The CD doesn't capture the band's carefully formed aggressive side, or their uneasy 'quiet' sound. The result is a complete waste of time for everyone involved. Especially for the consumer. Yuck. I was a sucker for this item a few years ago. Save yourself from the same fate. And save yourself some serious money as well. Believe me, if I could swim through fiber-optics and physically restrain you from clicking 'Add to Cart' I would.

I can sympathise with other reviewers up to a point. At first this album doesn't make much of an impression. However, I recently found myself listening to Darkus's contribution and rather liking it, and now some of the other tracks are making an impression too. I just think it's a half decent Drums and Bass album that even Neubauten Purists who are also Completists can adjust to if they make an effort. Try getting hold of it secondhand to be on the safe side and then it isn't such a risky investment.
