Before you shake your head about getting intellectual, it's not me getting intellectual but rather I'm observing it in others on a tip from Cat. You can review, in English, the Web site for Einstürzenden Neubauten and discover a great deal about them. My purpose in the article is to bring you some of their videos so you can see a selection of their their material and thank you to Cat for showing it to me.
This one is a straight-up love song and the lyrics are brilliant. You can probably tell from the snapshot that the sub-titles are in English.
Observe the colors on his shoulder and it will give you a lead onto what this one means. I wouldn't have got it except for a very insightful comment from another viewer. Those are the colors of Germany's flag.
This one may be the most difficult but give it some time and it will make sense to you. The guitar in the snapshot may be the only instrument in this video that's immediately recognisable but there is a genius to what they do. Note that this was recorded in 1983, somewhat toward the end of the heyday of krautrock, and I view it as much progressive as Pink Floyd but in a different way.
Einstürzenden Neubauten continues in various forms to this day and their integration of musical and visual abstractions is quite a marvel to me. It's not at all enough to them to show the band playing while tripped-out psychedelia overwhelms you visually as they have a great deal to say and they work to express it in every way they can.

Or, worse, a gentleman ... but no-one would believe that either (laughs)
