Ein Stuhl In Der Hölle Ein Stuhl In Der Hölle
Einstürzende Neubauten cover reduced to just percussion and vox. Title translates to 'a chair in hell'.

Ethanol Rock Ethanol Rock
We wanted to open Magus differently from our other albums, so we put Ein Stuhl... and this rather slow song at the beginning.

Du Gehst! Du Gehst!
Cacophonous song. Sort of sounds like a hardcore version of Captain Beefheart or something.

Perkussiver Sturm Perkussiver Sturm
Actually, this is Du Gehst! with vox, guitar and bass removed. C.A. felt that his (bongos) and Bo Riss's (drumpads) performance were strong enough to stand on their own, so he included it as a sort of filler.

Magus Magus
Title track from our 3rd (new) album. Very coherent. The electronic drum pads give a stronger rhythmic backbone than most other EKB material.

Scavenger Scavenger
Psychedlic/Post-punky song with 'English' lyrics. Possibly EKB's first use of a delay pedal.

Song Über Franz Song Über Franz
About an impotent guy without balls. Hilarious song.

Rasenmäher Der Macht Rasenmäher Der Macht
Translates to 'lawn mower of might'. The guitar tone is slightly different here, with the pickup switch on the strat moved way up.

Fly Guy Fly Guy
Acoustic, but aggressive. Title alludes to Mario enemy of the same name (particularly the version that appears in Super Mario 64).

Pyöng Yang Pyöng Yang
Improv track. We listened to a lot of Einstürzende Neubauten at the time, so we wanted to give it a sort 'industrial feel'. Also, the title is a kinda-sorta allusion to their song Yü Gung.

Rakanischu Rakanischu
Violent, hardcore-inspired song. Owes its title to a monster from the video game Diablo II.

5 Augen 5 Augen
We like ending our albums with weird 'experimental' tracks and so we did with our new album Magus. It features a distorted delay'd guitar and bass, screaming, electronic percussion as well as the sound of C.A. Sinclair banging on a pillow with a m

Intro/Geb Intro/Geb
Bongo intro leads into chaotic opener for our second EP. This our first song to feature Fät Tsöäck's bass playing.

Gurk Gurk
Last song to feature Imperator on second ('lead') guitar. No bongos or bass. Boring song.

School School
Wrongly-played(!) cover of a Nirvana song. It blows, but the singing is already very similar to what I'd be doing later on.

Nad Nad
Another 'power ballad' was intended as a sort of 'sequel' to Vs. The World.

Motel/Hotel Motel/Hotel
Fast rocker with malfunctioning guitar. It was an old Strat copy from Taiwan or somewhere. Goddamn, I hated the thing! After EKB Bleibt!, I replaced it with a real Fender Strat, which I play on all subsequent EKB releases.

Anastasia (Pulling Tongues) Anastasia (Pulling Tongues)
1 and a half minute bongo solo. Obviously a Metallica spoof.

Lollipop Lollipop
Amid the chaos of the EKB Bleibt! EP emerges one of the most coherent songs we ever recorded! The bongos play an actual rhythm and there's even a bassline! Awesome!
