Collapsing New Buildings, originally worded Einstürzende Neubauten in the German language, are an elite mock band from Germany. Founded ca. 1960, they have brought fame and freedom to masses of devoted fans around Europe and central Asia. Their style of music ranges from randomly hitting the bathtub with a mallet to recording confessions of devoted perverted churchgoers to revolutionary reggae with elements of jazz-metal and techno-polka. They have so far released five CD's of their music as well as one compilation album and one live recording.
