Kollaps

Kollaps was the first official LP by Einstürzende Neubauten,^[1] released in 1981 on ZickZack as #ZZ 65. The album was reissued in 2002 with Stahldubversions, originally released in 1982. Blixa Bargeld, N.U. Unruh, and F.M. Einheit appear on the album.

Jet'M is a cover of the Serge Gainsbourg song Je t'aime... moi non plus. The title is a pun, as when "Jet'M" is read out loud, it sounds like "Je t'aime" in French.

The track 15 of many CD versions of the album is a live version of Negativ Nein, recorded on 26 June 1987 at the Tempodrom.
