Einstürzende Neubauten

It was back in 1980, when Blixa Bargeld began the eternal quest for the still undiscovered sound under the name of EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN. This November, the band's first, long-awaited ‘Greatest Hits’ album was released. It is a successful, carefully selected, and "audiolicious" cross-section that represents 35 years of the band's work. All of the songs are remastered and ‘Haus der Lüge’ is also remixed. As originally intended - but was not possible at the time for a lack of financial resources - this piece is now enhanced with string and wind instruments. Of course, the title ‘Greatest Hits’ should be taken in the ironic, tongue-in-cheek spirit in which it is intended.

• God in a Cone

This December, "Coneheads" all over the world are rejoicing as mastermind Nikos Marinos releases his second record titled `The Sex is Fear´ under the banner of GOD IN A CONE. Since Nick has unleashed his debut album `Agrypnia´ this September - yeah, do the math - three things are absolutely certain: First, this talented musician bursts with creativity. As Nick told us in our interview, he recorded the debut in just a month and only two months later he offers his second opus. Second, Nick's genre-bending solo project stands for originality, soothing next to intense moods, and truly exceptional vocals. It's all about "experimental sounds without musical boundaries!" Third, if you're a music lover who's into Grunge/ Death Metal/ Industrial/ Electro/ Goth Rock and whatnot looking for well-written and interesting tunes, chances are very high you'll become immediately a Conehead once you listen to any GOD IN A CONE song - and every single one of them is impressive and worth checking out, trust me!

• Get Well Soon

Almost exactly seven years ago 'Vexations', the second album of GET WELL SOON, was released. It is the most opulent release of Konstantin Gropper to date and it already has been performed several times with a grand ensemble, a strings- and brass-section. So it kind of makes sense that the Nationaltheater Mannheim and Jan Dvorak, chief-dramaturg of the opera, chose this album to open their concert-series 'The Mannheim Concerts'. The idea: a full pop-album performed by a symphony-orchestra "only". After long and very thorough arrangement-work by Peter Häublein and Roman Vinuesa, a version of 'Vexations' for orchestra and voice.
