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

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

Track two, Morning Dew, is a cover, in English. I played the first track ( its title translates to "Destroyed Cell" ) at a Halloween party ( this is no lie ) and was told "this scares the hell out of me " . Much more conventional, at least for EN, but I still like it. Ich Bins was jungle before jungle was "jungle", in that you can only get behind the groove when you see it as the half step it is. Track 4, honestly, makes me think of Kenny Loggins. I don't know why, I only know that's NOT a good thing. But #5 more than makes up for it. Slowly evolving, with a cool guitar part, squeaky percussive effects, and ultra low bass; it is the "return to form" music fans talk about all the time. What remains is about the same. Gruff Germanic vocals, chanting, subtle strings ( they at least sound not synthesized ), found percussion, primitive guitar. Track 7 reminds me a little of early eighties Cure/ Killing Joke. Not "quiet" , just slow - but no less engaging.

amazing
Dark, moving, melodic, anti-melodically minimal, pure genius. This cd is so incredible. It starts with some beautiful songs, then meets its pounding, driving climax in Ich Bins & ends powerfully with very forboding, haunting minimalism. With the slow tempos & melodies, probably not what anyone expected from them when it was first released. Brutally unveering from the Neubauten musical vision. Very highly recommended.
