Einstürzende Neubauten – Perpetuum Mobile

Bought the CD so I could hear the album, as it wasn't available otherwise until recently. It's awesome; definitely a later masterpiece.

The art design is cool. I have never accessed the DVD because it's 2025 and I no longer have a beige desktop computer to put things from the 90s/00s inside of.

The reason which Tabula Rasa and Perpetuum Mobile aren't having a vinyl reissue is because the record label (Mute) lost the original masters + artwork.
The band feels sad about that.

When oh when will this be re-issued on vinyl , within little bit more then one year from now - it will be 20 years of original release !!!

I wish I knew who made this happen - one of the best sounding records in my collection (2500+). Stunned every time I play it.

Although every ENB album brings along some loose sense of perfection, 'Perpetuum Mobile' makes it also an example of beating around the bush - don't know about other ENB fans, personally I always preffered Blixa when not trying hard to sound like Nick Cave. For such reasons, this album is sadly 'one in a row' - conceptually, it gives the illusion of ENB maturing enough to provide suitable 'song' material alongside their standard theatrics but in the end it is full of loopholes. Irritating whisperring and dull spoken-word-type vocals go for the word 'boring' - which is truly ungreatful to say about the group's work, but that's one word that comes to my mind at the moment, and as hard as I try, cannot shake it off.

Further listening recommended in case you feel like missing the point.
