The title refers to artist Oswald Tschirtner, an institutionalized schizophrenic who earned attention for his art. The original vinyl release of Zeichnungen des Patienten O. T. is Rough Trade Records #RTD 18 and Some Bizzare Records #SBVART 2.


Overview


The album shows a wider variety of moods and sounds than did the group's first album, Kollaps.[1][3] Einstürzende Neubauten is famous for banging, scraping, plucking or otherwise wringing sounds from resonant objects.[3] While such metallic clatter pervades the album, the group also uses techniques such as found sounds (telephone conversations, the Hamburg fish market) and (pre-digital) sampling; for example, a sample of the Armenian song "Toun en kelkhen imastoun yes" is used in "Armenia". Bass guitar is relatively prominent, though generally played in a minimal style (and perhaps contributing more toward sonic texture rather than forming a rhythmic or harmonic foundation). Trouser Press critic David Sheridan pointed out the group's drift toward conventionality, writing that "the title track even has a chord progression!"[3]

"Armenia" was later used in the soundtrack of Michael Mann's 1995 film Heat and his 1999 film The Insider.
