Malaria ~ Emotion 1982 posted by FRANKKUBB







In the depths of January 1981, BETTINA KOESTER and GUDRUN GUT stepped from the smoldering ashes of their previous band MANIA D shouldering the yoke of a feverish new project they called MALARIA!. And with the release of the maxi EP "Malaria!" in April that year, the fever spread. The band filled out to include MANON P. DUURSMA, NL ("O.U.T." an early Nina Hagen project), CHRISTINE HAHN, USA (Static, Glen Branca) and SUSANNE KUHNKE, BRD (Die Haut) absorbing their diverse backgrounds and personalities and grew. A first European tour followed during which they appeared on a John Peel session for the BBC and later recorded the single "How do you like my new dog?" for the Belgium label Les Disques du Crepuscule. Malaria toured the US next appearing with The Birthday Party, John Cale, and one unforgettable gig together with Nina Hagen in New York's infamous Studio 54 night club. This tour was the first that promoted New German Music in the United States. Meanwhile Malaria recorded the 12" "New York Passage (Your turn to run)" for Cachalot records which went on to reach the independent top 10 in the U.S. as well as in Europe. During another tour of Europe the band gave birth to "White Water" a 12" long player including "Kaltes Klares Wasser" which went on to become an Indi-classic. In 1982 Malaria released to critical acclaim their first album, "Emotion". It was licensed to Nippon Columbia in Japan and the video "Geld/Money" (directed by B.Buehler and D.Hormel) won prizes for its innovative editing style. Tours of England, France, Benelux, Italy and Scandinavia followed.

Einsturzende Neubauten 'Kollaps' 1981




Since 1980, German rock band Einstürzende Neubauten—in English, "collapsing new buildings"—has been reinventing music by destroying all preconceived ideas of what music is and by redefining the beauty of sound. Their music has the undeniable ability to vibrate every particle of the listener's being, the goal being to make the listener feel absolutely alive. Besides guitars, their musical arsenal includes power drills, shopping carts, oil drums, broken glass, and sheet metal. The sounds Einstürzende Neubauten pioneered became known to a wide audience when the popular British dance band Depeche Mode used them in their 1984 hit "People Are People."

In the 1980s Einstürzende Neubauten'sfrontman.Blixa Bargeld—a former gravedigger, bartender, and theater manager who appropriated his first name from a brand of German ballpoint pen—predicted that "the entire pop culture would change while we (Einstürzende Neubauten) would remain the same, and the day would come when our 'noise' would sound like their new 'music.'" His prediction was not too far off, evidenced by the popularity in the 1990s of what has come to be known as "industrial" music. By the mid-1990s, in fact, Einstürzende Neubauten's music seemed much tamer, due in part to the "noisification" of mainstream music, and also to the natural growth and change that is part of the band's creative process.

As Bargeld told Kenneth Laddish of Mondo 2000: "When we are at our best, our sounds form sentences as surely as words, which reinforces on another level what we are trying to express. The idea of using sound, stepping away from notes—add to this the quality of what the instrument actually is: this is burning oil. Put in a certain context, you compose a sentence dealing with burning oil."

Einstürzende Neubauten started out as a four-piece ensemble comprised of Bargeld, N. U. Unruh, Beate Batel, and Grudrun Gut. For those who missed the quartet's historic first show, Bargeld sold tapes of it in his second-hand store, Eisengrau (Iron Grey). The week after Einstürzende Neubauten formed, the Berlin Kongresshalle collapsed. The band viewed this as a perfect propaganda opportunity and took it as a good omen.

Lineup Evolved
Another German band, Abwärts, of which Bargeld and Unruh were fans, featured F. M. "Mufti" Einheit and Mark Chung, who both eventually became members of Einstürzende Neubauten. As a trio, Bargeld, Unruh, and Einheit released their first LP, 1981 's Kollaps. This was actually a follow-up to the previous lineup's successful single "Für den Untergang" and the "Kalte Sterne" double-pack 7-inch single. Shortly thereafter, Chung formally joined the group. In 1983 16-year-old Alexander Von Borsig, known as Alexander Hacke, who was involved with many strange musical projects and had performed with Einstürzende Neubauten sporadically, began to play with them on a more regular basis.

Soon after the release of Kollaps, Einstürzende Neubauten became favorites of the British press and in 1983 released their first album in the United Kingdom, Drawings of Patient O. T. Although some felt it lacked the primitive intensity of their first release, most felt Patient O. T. had more texture and direction. The sound seemed more stripped down but better structured. The band had torn themselves down and moved on to yet another stage of their evolution.

The following year Einstürzende Neubauten released Strategies Against Architecture on the Mute label and 2X4 on ROIR. Strategies is a compilation of five tracks from Kollaps, two from Kalte Sterne, the B-side of the "Für den Untergang" single, and previously unreleased works, some of them live. The cassette-only 2X4, contains live performances recorded in Europe from 1980-1983.

Apocalypse at Mojave
In 1984 Einstürzende Neubauten began appearing at special-event "site-specific" performances. One of the more notorious of these took place in California's Mojave desert on March 4, 1984. Fans who attended the show were brought to the site on a chartered bus caravan. While refrigerators and other appliances loaded with explosives were detonated for their enjoyment, courtesy of Mark Pauline and Survival Research Laboratories, Einstürzende Neubauten filled the desert air with their music in an unforgettable symphony of apocalyptic sights and sounds.

The band's indoor shows had also become quite notorious. Fire had become a regular part of their program. But at one Los Angeles performance, an onstage fire got out of control and completely burned the props for the second half of the show. The same night, vibrations from the power drill used onstage caused plaster to fall off the ceiling and onto some record company executives who were eating dinner a floor below.

For the Record . . .
Members include Blixa Bargeld, vocals; Mark Chung, bass; F. M. "Mufti" Einheit, percussion; Alexander Hacke (born Alexander von Borsig), guitar; and N. U. Unruh, percussion. Former members include Beate Batel and Grudrun Gut.

Original lineup formed in 1980; released Kollaps, Zick Zack Records, 1981; released numerous singles and albums on Monogram, Zick Zack, Some Bizzare, and Mute labels, among others; toured Europe and U.S., beginning early 1980s.

Addresses: Record company—Mute Records, 140 West 22nd St., Ste. 10A, New York, NY 10011; 345 North Maple Dr., Ste. 123, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

Soon promoters were forced to turn down opportunities to mount Einstürzende Neubauten shows; insurance companies had begun to refuse to cover the venues at which Einstürzende Neubauten was booked. The band rectified this untenable situation by toning down the more "explosive" and uncontrollable elements of their live show. By the mid-1990s, their shows were more restrained; they needed only brandish the drill or empty water out of a gasoline can to raise the tension level and get a strong audience reaction.

Broadened Scope
Displaying their creative compositional techniques by employing grand piano, bizarre dance beats, and their trademark thunder, the band released Halber Mensch in 1985. The a cappella title track sounded like part of an avant-garde opera. Then, Einstürzende Neubauten disbanded for a year. In 1987 they reformed and released Fünf auf der Nach Oben Richterskala, perhaps their quietest release, one that left many of their fans confused, waiting for the thunder that never emerged from this album. The thunder returned, however, with 1989's Haus derLüge and reappeared again on Strategien gegen Architektur II in 1991. And after yet another prolonged hiatus, 1993 saw the release of the highly acclaimed Tabula Rasa triptych, which contains the pieces "Blume" and "Wüste," originally composed for the avant-garde Canadian dance troupe La La La Human Steps.

The music of Einstürzende Neubauten has been called everything from "junk rock" to "industrial." The musicians themselves have been labeled "aural terrorists" and "musical mutants," as well as "the Kings of Industrial Rock." Bargeld has termed their efforts "hardcore New Age," while Einheit once classified them as "contemporary German folk music." Bargeld explained the philosophy behind the music to Klaus Maeck in his book Hör Mit Schmerzen! (Listen With Pain!), asserting, "Einstürzende Neubauten ... is a positive sound, possibly the most positive sound of all. Old objects, meanings, buildings and music get destroyed, all traces of the past are abandoned: only out of destruction can something really new be created.

Front 242 'Geography' 1986
















One of the most consistent industrial bands of the 1980s, even though they regularly pursued a more electronic variant of the sound that swept into vogue during the '90s, Front 242 were the premier exponent of European electronic body music. Initially, the group was just a duo when formed in October 1981 in Brussels; programmers Patrick Codenys and Dirk Bergen recorded "Principles" and released the single on New Dance Records. A year later, programmer Daniel Bressanutti (aka Daniel B. Prothese) and lead vocalist Jean-Luc de Meyer joined as well; dubbed Front 242 because of the name's universal meaning and united connotations, the quartet debuted in 1982 with the single "U-Men" and album Geography, recorded for Red Rhino Europe Records (RRE). Not dissimilar to Depeche Mode and other synthesizer bands at the time, Front 242 began playing live later that year, adding percussionist Geoff Bellingham but later replacing him with an ex-roadie, Richard 23 (born Richard Jonckheere). (Dirk Bergen also left the working band, but stayed on to direct management.) The group's sound began to grow more aggressive with 1984's No Comment EP, still reminiscent of synth pop but with harder-hitting rhythms and added menace from de Meyer's vocals. By 1987, Front 242 had gained an American contract through Chicago's Wax Trax!, the home of a diverse group of mostly European aggressive synthesizer acts later lumped together as exponents of industrial rock. Wax Trax! reissued much of the group's recordings (including the rarities collection Back Catalogue) and released a new album, Official Version. The first Front 242 LP to coalesce as a consistent recording, the album contained several cold-wave club hits ("Masterhit," "Quite Unusual") and, for the time, excellent production values. Released in 1988, third LP Front by Front was undoubtedly the group's best yet, with more emphasis on song structure than loose mechanistic grooves. Besides the alternative club hits "Headhunter" and "Never Stop," the record was Front 242's most consistent. By the end of the decade, Front 242 had become the first Wax Trax! artist to make the jump to a mainstream label; Epic Records picked up the band's contract, reissuing each past album with new artwork and bonus tracks. The single "Tragedy (For You)" became another alternative club hit, and picked up rotation on MTV as well. Though the following album, Tyranny (For You), couldn't touch Front by Front in terms of quality, it made great strides for the group in the minds of audiences -- by the time of its release in 1991, Front 242 was, with Ministry and Skinny Puppy, one of the most well-known industrial acts in music. With nary a lineup change in the past ten years, however, Richard 23 finally left the group in 1993 after an American tour with the Lollapalooza festival (the trio replaced him with lyricists Jean-Marc Pauly and his brother Pierre). That same year Front 242 released two LPs, 06:21:03:11 Up Evil and 05:22:09:12 Off, the first closer to pop music than anything the group had recorded before, and the second more abrasive than previous recordings. In the wake of industrial music's unlikely mainstream success -- which pushed unrestrained angst and raging guitars in the vein of Nine Inch Nails -- the Front 242 LPs were not well received. Vocalist De Meyer left the group in 1995 to sing with various projects, including Cobalt 60 and Bio-Tek. Front 242 released a live LP (Live Code) and a remix album (Mutge.Mixge) but for the most part remained quiet while flocks of industrial bands invaded the mainstream charts during the mid- to late '90s. In 1997 the group again toured and issued the live album Re-Boot a year later. Pulse, a studio album of new material, was released in CD and DVD formats in 2003

Nina Hagen 'Nina Hagen Band' 1978


Born in East Germany, Nina Hagen had already gained a reputation as a flamboyant rock singer by the time she emigrated to the West in 1976, where she formed a band, signed to CBS Germany, and released their debut album, Nina Hagen Band, in 1978. It was followed in 1980 by Unbehagen. Hagen's first U.S. release, Nina Hagen Band EP (1980), was a four-song EP consisting of songs drawn from her two German releases. She moved to New York and made her first English-language LP, Nunsexmonkrock, in 1982. That and its follow-up, the Giorgio Moroder-produced Fearless (1983), charted briefly, and "New York New York" was a Top Ten dance club hit. But Hagen left CBS after Nina Hagen in Ekstacy (1985). In 1988, she celebrated her marriage with the EP Punk Wedding, released in Canada, and in 1989 she returned to the German market with Nina Hagen.

Einsturzende Neubauten 'Strategies Against Architecture' 1984







I have the perfect Halloween soundtrack for you: Einstürzende Neubauten’s Strategies Against Architecture 80-83. These guys are the uncrowned kings of noise and experimental music. This early compilation is particularly eerie, and metallic, in the literal sense of the word. Typical “instruments” listed for each song include “hollow metal object”, “metal plates”, “scratching metal”, “air conditioning duct” and so on. What vocals are there, are, how you say… distressed? And check out a few of these Halloween-ready titles: “Tanz Debil (A Dance of Mental Illness)”, “Schmerzen Hören (Listen with Pain)”, “Draußen ist Feindlich (Outside is Hostile).”
Of course, the band expanded beyond this type of music over the years. And they have put on some noteworthy live performances in their time. I have never seen them in person, but I did get to see leader Blixa Bargeld once with Nick Cave.
