Einstürzende Neubauten discography

-- Add missing discography items (and read others additions) to this section here! --
A chronological discography of releases by Einstürzende Neubauten and related solo and side projects. In the case of "Various Artists" releases, only the tracks by EN (or the EN-related project) are listed.



The list is presented as this :
(Artist : )TITLE
(x)	(media)	(year)	(record label)		(catalouge number)	(country of release)

An "x" in the beginning of release information indicates that it is out of print or otherwise unavailable.

Some of the listed stuff are not properly released products ( like records ). Some things, like films, might be "unreleased" in a wider sense and are therefore marked unavailable.

An "*" in the tracks listing means the song only appears on the CD version.

The word "patient" was somehow dropped from the translated title. The cover is also slightly different. The CD has the same tracks-listing as the LP & 12".

Both Ze & PVC/Passport/JEM went bankrupt and are no longer doing business, so this CD is definitely out of print.

  • This discography is originally borrowed from Greg Clow, and we kinda reworked it a bit.
  • Much credit to Klaus Maeck, author of the book "Einstürzende Neubauten: Hoer Mit Schmerzen (Listen With Pain)". I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to discover more about EN.
  • The Materiali Sonori book has been essential on concluding the document above, as it contains a great discography. Various net sources has been used too (thanx, guess you know who you are).
  • Casette bootlegs have consequently been left out if they have not had a printed cover (just a way to try to distinguish between pure unrefined existance and collectable "products").
  • Although I have to say that there is quite a few of the later releases that I personally have no interest in at all. For instance samplers, when there never are any unreleased - or for that reason, any variation - of the tracks released. I might have missed one record ore two. If you see any incosequence, dont hesitate to mail us.
