• O C T. XIII. • Einstürzende Neubauten — “Armenia”
From the 1983 album Zeichnungen des Patienten O.T..
Proper industrial music at it's finest. The whole thing is creepy, but HOLY SHIT does Blixa Bargeld's scream ever send shivers down my spine. Not to mention the those gurgling sounds over power tools that are no doubt being used for some decidedly non-manufacturer approved purposes.
The original album version posted here is my favorite performance of this track, but the video version from Sogo Ishii's 1986 film Halber Mensch is so awesome that it really must be seen, as well:

You gotta love Neubauten. That's as industrial as it fucking gets. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again. I was born 10 years too late. To think, I was only 6 when all of this was happening during its heyday. To have been able to see this live back then...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's industrial in the most literal sense of the word, which is just the way I like it! Totally with you on being born too late, this song is pretty much the story of my life...
