Haus der Luge ORIGINAL RECORDING REISSUED

 peak, March 3, 2003
This cd, for me,is one of the great highlights of Neubauten's career. It has a little of the slow, minimal, beautiful music you also find a lot of on 5 on the Open-Ended Richter Scale. It has some songs that are really funky in a quintissential Neubauten way. It has some great hard-hitting noise, especially in the incredible, intense, compelling title track. The first song is the most grating -- very deliberate, but also completely raw & primal. Genius. In the middle there's a very bare ambient section that moves almost imperceptibly from a drone to a drone with some flies buzzing through & out & though a little more to what feels to me like a muted riot & catastrophe. Then there's some of the funkyish stuff I already mentioned. At the end is a remix of the 2nd song & then an airy, but heavy, dark, anti=pop Dadaist thing N U Unruh did upon being asked to make pop music for a commercial.I really think that this cd more than any other is essential to every Neubauten collection. It has so much of the range they've explored in their masterful career.

... for every Neubauten fan, January 10, 2005
This album is awesome, and I think that most anyone interested in Einsturzende Neubauten will not be stopped in listening to it. Not that that is what makes it good. Nevertheless, this seems to be the first time when one immediately recognized the band's versitility. Every track is different from each other - every single one. It was also made during the period when they were breaking up and then kept getting back together. (Before '85 they were more of a posse or gang, to my knowledge) This music seems very fresh and spontaneous. I don't care too much for the extra tracks, but they make the cd more of an album length.
I have been playing this album for twelve years, and EN keeps growing. From this one I actually can't name a standout track because they're all so equally good. I remember not understanding the last one, Der Kuss, when I first heard it - it has a lot of piano and is quite paired down. But I soon found its restraint and beauty to be another great album closer (after To Be No Part of it, and before Headcleaner). The other classic monuments released by EN are (for early) Drawings of O.T., (and for later) Ende Neu and Silence is Sexy - but since it is one of the best bands for artistry, all of EN's recordings are excellent and worthwhile.
Haus Der Luge: recorded shortly before the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Buy direct from the band.

great albums, buy them from mute or directly from neubauten , November 4, 2004
anything before tabula rasa the band hasn't seen a dime, go to mute or the band's website so they get paid for their art.

Great Album, Bad Record Company, May 3, 2004
Reviewer: A music fan
If you plan to buy this album, please don't buy the version distributed by Thirsty Ear/Some Bizarre Records. The company has never paid the band for its recordings, and NONE of your purchase price will go to the creators of this exceptional music.Another version is available through Indigo Records, and the group does get paid for those copies.

WOW, February 22, 2004
This was the first Neubauten album I had ever heard... and is among the top of my favorite albums of all time. The album starts off the "intro", some great German poetry spoken by Blixa with noise thrown in between stanzas and the album just gets more explosive from there. Feurio! and the title track are Neubauten classics that any fan of "industrial" music should know and love. GET THIS ALBUM!

 cool cd cover!, July 8, 2003
one of the more accessible cd's by neubauten. has "feurio!" on it which is quite a stomper: it might have outstayed its welcome though if the clubs you go to played it to death, outstays its welcome on this 47 minute cd even with three versions of itself (and in a way almost sounds out of place on this cd, its a more "traditional sounding" industrial dance track whereas the other tracks are lets say... more imaginative & undanceable?). sorry, prolog seems a nice intro to one of these versions but seems pretty uneventfull to me otherwise. track 3 is a nice civil ditty you could find yourself humming to your two year old in an attempt to instill unconciousness (no... not in an ominous way!). the other reviewers seemed to but i dont like (title) track 4 that much. un-numbered and forgettable track 5 throws the track number of the rest of the songs out by one. 6 is a slowish epic, climaxing with a fastish paced haunting sounding chant in part C ("hirnlego"), which i think alone makes getting this cd worth it (although not quite as fast or percussive as; it still kinda reminds me of "ublique media daemon" which appears on "malediction" released later). "schwindel" is an absolute killer, discordant treated vocals and a mid -tempo drum beat serve as the spine of a song graced with slightly weird/ cool sounding german lyrics. 8 (numbered 7.): nice & slow, a little boring. "partymucke" continues in the same vein as "hirnlego"& "schwindel", all quite rythmic, trancy almost? this one starts slow with a sampled "aheyhey" vocal; which repeats itself faster over and over building up to a crescendo in cunjunction with the music; whats that? a violen? a board that makes funny wobbling percussive sounds? classic neubauten!summary: a fairly short cd with too many versions of a nightclub classic on it.
4 (short songs) = very cool and;
3 of the same = danceable and;
4 = forgettable.
worth getting second hand/ cheap maybe.
not as unconventional/ weird/ aggressive/ challanging or as unpolished as earlier releases but still fairly unconventional civil sounding german industrial.
