Sven Saw them play last week and it was very good, indeed. And this album is very good, too - definitely better than their regular albums these days. I don't understand why they created the Musterhaus series in the first place. Why do they need an outlet for their more experimental stuff that does not fit in with their regular songs? There was a time when the mixture of experimental and more song oriented music on the same album was completely normal for the Neubauten. I preferred that.

about

Musterhaus 3 is a collection of bass spring compositions by the individual members of Einstürzende Neubauten. The approaches taken are quite diverse. “Bassfeder” consists of one beat on the bass spring, broken down into several hundred segments of the same length. Each segment then placed 200 frames later than the previous. “Feder Vice” is research into what one could produce from the sound of a single beat. In “Geschichte der F.” Blixa conducts an interview with Andrew and then uses the speech pattern as trigger for the bass spring.

“Dingfest” is an exploration of what a choir of 50+ bass springs sound like. In “Schlagkraft”, Rudolf recorded lightning sparklers on the bass spring and the subsequent cooling sounds: the voice of a German news reader makes an accidental appearance. “12 Rhythmen fuer Bassfeder” use selected Midi files, replacing the original Midi sounds with bass spring samples. “Spring-Time” is a melancholic score for bass spring samples, string quartet, French horn and flute. “Nux Vomica” started out with the concept of a dub version in mind; every sound except vocals is in fact bass spring.
