Blixa Bargeld: Art comes from when you have to do something

 “Art doesn’t come from when you can do something. It comes from when you have to do something” - Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld told Guardian about the long wait between his last two albums. 'Alles in Allem' is their first studio record in 13 years. One constant is the band’s innovative approach to equipment and recording - “There’s a strategy. I want to undermine routine and sabotage logic. We’ve been doing that for 40 years with unusual instrumentation. It’s important to undermine functionality and knowledge – to disturb the obvious”.
