發行於 1983 年,樂團的第二張專輯。新建築倒塌在 1980 年誕生,是個反音樂的存在,「Destruction is not negative, you must destroy to build」,這裡可能沒有任何一點可以接收的聲音,但你會想要接受。主唱、靈魂人物 Blixa Bargeld 當時也為 Nick Cave 的 Bad Seeds 一員。
Originally released in 1983, EINSTURZENDE NEUBAUTEN second album marks a radical progression in the band sound as well as a revolutionary step forward in the realms of industrial and experimental music. Bassist MARC CHUNG and electronics engineer ALEXANDER HACKE joined the band during this time, and singer BLIXA BARGELD also became a full-time member of NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS. Despite each members background, Einstürzende Neubauten ethos—"Destruction is not negative, you must destroy to build"—treaded on ground that was explicitly anti-music. Through their intuitive compositional approach and application of found, industrial objects into song forms, the band sonic trajectory was intent on generating entirely alternate modes of music-making. In contrast to the all-out destructive barrage of their debut, however, Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T. reveals an astonishing maturity in its varied and dynamic range of textures while still being no less uncompromising.
