Alien Pop Monday 00.15 - erkannt das Sehnen die Knoten hält

Another Alien Pop Monday...

This mix builds off the Fifteenth track from Rampen (apm: alien pop music), "Gesundbrunnen."  Here it is, after 15 mixes, the end—complete with 195 tracks and 131 artists featured, a corpus of what feels, to me at least, to be Alien Pop Music.

There is a passage in KOLLAPS by Melle Jan Kromhout & Jan Nieuwenhuis that speaks to the concept of Alien Pop Music that I re-read just before finalizing this mix, as I made the decision to have "Sehnsucht" (desire) off of Kollaps, their fisrt EN album, serve as the final song that I think serves as a nice conclusion to this series...

Desire is the breath that fuels life and connects the inside of the living body to the world outside. Air spreads around in the depths of the lungs, where it branches out. Oxygen flows through blood and brains until it is used up and residual gas is exhaled to make room. Just like this Einstürzende Neubauten feeds itself with sound. The band is an organism that mutates with each consecutive song. It inhales sound. It lives on sound. Just as every breath is an extension of life, sound is Einstürzende Neubauten's sustenance.

This way, the band absorbs other kinds of music and makes certain elements their own [...] With each song, Einstürzende Neubauten wanders further into unknown territory and encounters different sounds and music to reorganize themselves. 

Kromhout, Melle Jan, and Jan Nieuwenhuis. Einstürzende Neubauten’s Kollaps, pp. 83–84.
