The penultimate Industrial act returns with this collection of remixes taken
from their most recent album "Ende Neu". In the past, Einstruzende Neubauten
avoided remix collections in favor of remix singles, mostly due to the lack of
remixable material. However, since "Ende Neu" is the most electronic release to
date, it makes the most sense as a suitable victim for remix duty. For the most
part, the German quartet chose to avoid the usual collection of remix wizards,
and instead worked with some of the most innovative Drum'n'Bass, Techno, and
Experimental artists such as Panasonic, Alec Empire, Darkus, Panacea and Techno
Animal. As a result each of the remixes on this disc are drastically reworked
versions, which tend to be clumped in the Power Noise genre, stylistically
speaking. This includes the Panasonic remix of NNNAAAMMM which starts with a
very minimalistic prologue and builds up into a noisy mess at the end,
definitely a typical outing for the Finnish due. Also of note in the Panacea
mix of "Ende Neu", which sounds vaguely similar to recent material by bands
like Dive, P*A*L, and Speedy J, with punctuated and often caustic percussion,
that, while being rather abrasive, still makes for a club playable track. All
in all, this collection of "Ende Neu" remixes is amazingly good, although
diehard Neubauten fans will probably scream sell-out as soon as they see John
Spencer or Barry Adamson's name in the remix credits.
