Einstürzende Neubauten

A few years ago, EN creatively broke free from their dependence on record labels. For a price, they offered fans inside looks at their recording sessions, chat room interaction with the band and the knowledge that their money directly contributed to their existence. Sadly, this so-called "documentary” is a 1-800 number away from being an infomercial to sell their cause. Testimonials from their supporters pollute the disc and take valuable time away from actual concert footage — it takes 50 minute before a song is presented in its entirety. Adding to the disappointment are undersized special features. An exploration of the band’s inventive talents would have been a more significant approach. (Monnitorpop)
