Einstürzende Neubauten's sixth album, 1989's Haus der Lüge, is a real eye-opener as well as a turning point for the Berlin-based band. For one thing, you can hear how much more attention is being paid to rock idioms--clearly an influence from frontman Blixa Bargeld's moonlighting as Nick Cave's guitarist. More important, though, is that the metal bashing, glass breaking, and electric drilling--in many ways the be-all, end-all of the band's early, musique-concrète-influenced sound--is here harnessed in subservience to downright tuneful compositions. The unmistakable message: Hey, we're "real" musicians, too. Still, Neubauten neophytes will undoubtedly find listening to Haus der Lüge a bit like having a dentist clean their ears. The opener, "Prolog," sounds like a German poetry slam held in a subway tunnel, and "Fiat Lux," a 12-minute opus kicked off by 30 seconds of buzzing bees, is bound to get up your bonnet. Elsewhere it's a different story. The beat-heavy "Feurio!" projects an industrial-dance energy, and the lilting "Ein Stuhl in der Hölle" sounds like it was meant to be chanted in a beer hall. But the crowning achievement here is the title track, an epic, foot-stomping, Dantean allegory that culminates with God shooting himself. Simply awe-inspiring. --Steve Landau

Neubauten'ss most accessible.......2006-08-17

i had some problems with their previous work (which has its moments) but this was a gigantic leap forward on all levels. Both musically sonically and lyrically. It is actually very listenable hard indutrial experimental rock. I think it s their best because while not as experimental as previous stuff, it manages to be challenging and listenable at the same time.

... for every Neubauten fan.......2005-01-11

This album is awesome, and I think that most anyone interested in Einsturzende Neubauten will not be stopped in listening to it. Not that that is what makes it good. Nevertheless, this seems to be the first time when one immediately recognized the band's versitility. Every track is different from each other - every single one. It was also made during the period when they were breaking up and then kept getting back together. (Before '85 they were more of a posse or gang, to my knowledge) This music seems very fresh and spontaneous. I don't care too much for the extra tracks, but they make the cd more of an album length.
I have been playing this album for twelve years, and EN keeps growing. From this one I actually can't name a standout track because they're all so equally good. I remember not understanding the last one, Der Kuss, when I first heard it - it has a lot of piano and is quite paired down. But I soon found its restraint and beauty to be another great album closer (after To Be No Part of it, and before Headcleaner). The other classic monuments released by EN are (for early) Drawings of O.T., (and for later) Ende Neu and Silence is Sexy - but since it is one of the best bands for artistry, all of EN's recordings are excellent and worthwhile.
Haus Der Luge: recorded shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Buy direct from the band.

great albums, buy them from mute or directly from neubauten .......2004-11-05

anything before tabula rasa the band hasn't seen a dime, go to mute or the band's website so they get paid for their art.

Great Album, Bad Record Company.......2004-05-03

If you plan to buy this album, please don't buy the version distributed by Thirsty Ear/Some Bizarre Records. The company has never paid the band for its recordings, and NONE of your purchase price will go to the creators of this exceptional music.

Another version is available through Indigo Records, and the group does get paid for those copies.

WOW.......2004-02-23

This was the first Neubauten album I had ever heard... and is among the top of my favorite albums of all time. The album starts off the "intro", some great German poetry spoken by Blixa with noise thrown in between stanzas and the album just gets more explosive from there. Feurio! and the title track are Neubauten classics that any fan of "industrial" music should know and love. GET THIS ALBUM!

not bad.......2004-08-08

Evidently a fan favourite, I find this sonic stew at times an overly abrasive mess , at times a thoughful, almost ambient mush, and yet at times a perfect blend of the human and the mechanical. The spoken word/guitar wall of noise intro is something of a summation of the remainder of the album. A mixture of intense, passionate chaos, and cold, mechanical calculation. My other favourite song is Fuerio! - a nice thick slab of Tuetonic Techno - in its varying remixes on the cd. I would have give this cd 3 stars only for the music ( good, but not essential EN ) but I add one star for the great liner notes in the cd case ( an arty mixture of translated song lyrics and wood block type portraits of the band memebrs ) and the brilliantly offensive wizzing stallion cover art.
