The Sheer Intensity Of Neubauten's Unconventional Outpourings Is The Aural Equivalent Of Waking Up Sweating In The Middle Of The Night Wracked With Doubt And Fear With Blixa Bargeld's Disembodied Voice Agonising Over A Backdrop Of Tense Musical Extremities. Sensory Exorcism Guaranteed." - Kerrang "...Capturing The Group During Their Most Elemental Phase When Improvisations Were The Rule And The Triumph Of The Non-Musician Was Complete. Its Admixture Of Noise And Quiet Captures The Berlin Group In All Their Utter Visceral Starkness. Absolutely Essential." - Wire UK "These Legendary 'godfathers' Of Industrial Have Influenced Everyone From Nine Inch Nails And Ministry.
