Editoral Review This recording--compiled by the band and Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell--includes early singles and previously unreleased cassettes from 1980-83, along with most of the B-sides of the band's first LP, Kollaps. Strategies Against Architecture, Volume 1 (Strategein Gegen Architekturen) encapsulates German industrial progenitors Einsturzende Neubauten at their rawest and most primordial. Primal and provocative in its austerity, Strategies. . . remains hyper-progressive and unmatched almost 15 years after its initial release. Junkyard angst for the apocalypse, Neubauten strips down into broken instruments, buckets, and sheet metal for drums. --Esther Yoon ..
