Einsturzende Neubauten "Alles Wider Offen" (2007)

Einsturzende Neubauten will be releasing a new album entitled Alles wider offen, on October 23rd, 2007, via their own Potomak record label. ***BUY FROM ITUNES HERE***

The band (Alexander Hacke, Jochen Arbeit, Rudolf Moser, N.U. Unruh, Blixa Bargeld) recorded the CD over some 200 days in their own studio funded by their world-wide network of subscribing Supporters via www.neubauten.org. In short, without the Supporters Alles wieder offen would not exist.

That said, the Supporters's involvement went beyond financial, as they were able to view the album as it was being created via webcam and they had live online discussions with the band about the recording, at times arguing with them -- demanding the further development of ideas the group had discarded for instance.

For the most part Alles wider offen is a by-product of the band's take on web-performance and to wit it will be released without any kind of record label involvement.

Additionally, all of the Supporters will receive a special Supporter Edition of the album (optionally with or without the accompanying DVD).

Song titles on the album include "Unvollstundigkeit," "Weilweilweil," "Nagorny Karabach," "Die Wellen," "Ich warte," "Von Wegen," and "Susej."

For the rest of the world, the album will be made available in an elaborate Digipak with a multicoloured booklet which contains all the lyrics in both German and English.

The band is currently planning a European tour for the spring of 2008.
