The vinyl is pressed as a opaque disc. - 2020 release. After more than 12 years, Einstürzende Neubauten's long-awaited new studio album Alles In Allem is finally going to be released. The album marks the quintessence of the band's output, opening yet another unexpected door in 40 years of ongoing sound research by a very experimental group of musicians around Blixa Bargeld. This band, like nearly no other, has managed to create a musical cosmos. It has, in fact, built up it's own genre by uniquely combining edgy sound with sophisticated poetry. Appropriately, in the Year of the Rat - the symbol of ingenuity and versatility according to the Chinese zodiac - the band is not resting on the laurels of it's last four decades. Instead, it curiously continues to explore everything that the sound universe has to yield, with one eye on the future and with boundless playfulness The unique sound and textual landscapes of the band, founded in 1980 in Berlin, reveal the timelessness that Blixa Bargeld, N. U. Unruh, Alexander Hacke, Jochen Arbeit, and Rudolph Moser have continuously maintained. And yet, through experimental approaches to songwriting, instruments developed over four decades and collective input, the band sounds remarkably cutting edge within it's own time. In fact, through it's individual brand of music the Einstürzende Neubauten seem to always command each and every manifestation of the here and now - whether industrial in it's early years, the driving beats of the 1990s or it's more considered later work. The verse "Wir hatten tausend Ideen / Und alle waren gut" (We had a thousand ideas / And all of them were good) from album track "Am Landwehrkanal" could easily be perceived as the band's description of itself. The sum total is a special compilation: Alles In Allem, Einstürzende Neubauten's first regular studio album in 12 years, presents an incomparable band that defies categorization to create a genre all it's own.(P) + (C) 2020 Potomak / Einstürzende Neubauten.

Trifold Digipak, glued-in 20-page booklet with lyrics (in German and English), photography, track-related credits and thanksayings."Alles in Allem" is a studio album by the pioneering German avant-industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten, here presented in the CD format by the label Potomak in cooperation with the distributor Indigo. The album captures the group in a mature, reflective phase, combining meticulously constructed soundscapes with intelligible song structures. Metallic percussions, sculpted noises, subtle electronics and Blixa Bargeld's unmistakable voice blend into compositions that feel both intimate and architecturally expansive. Lyrically, the work is intensely poetic and often introspective, touching on themes of memory, urban space and personal as well as collective histories. For listeners, "Alles in Allem" offers a deep, immersive experience that rewards close attention, yet remains surprisingly accessible by the band's own standards.
As a CD edition, this release focuses on sound quality and coherent album dramaturgy. The tracklist is sequenced to lead the listener through different emotional and atmospheric zones, from fragile, almost whispered passages to rhythmically driven pieces with complex, layered arrangements. The production emphasizes detail: quiet textures, sudden eruptions of sound and spatial effects are carefully balanced to preserve the band's characteristic physical impact while revealing fine nuances that might be lost in a more compressed format. The packaging typically reflects the aesthetic rigor for which Einstürzende Neubauten are known, with a reduced but thoughtful visual design that aligns with the album's conceptual and sonic identity.
Einstürzende Neubauten, founded in Berlin in 1980, are among the most influential experimental bands of the post-punk era. They became known for using scrap metal, building tools and self-constructed instruments, extending the very idea of what could serve as a musical source. Over the decades, they played a crucial role in shaping the genres of industrial, noise and avant-rock and influenced countless artists in alternative and experimental music worldwide. Their oeuvre spans harsh, confrontational early works to more melodic and composed later albums, often exploring the borderlands between noise, song and spoken word. Beyond their recordings, the band is also recognized for ambitious live performances and long-term projects that treat sound as an architectural and social phenomenon.
