evilbitch666.com: Alexander Hacke is best known for his work with experimental group Einstürzende Neubauten, which in 2005 celebrate their 25th year anniversary. Neubauten, something of a musical institution in their native Germany (actually sent to represent the Country at the 1986 World Expo), are widely regarded around the world as one of the founding fathers of “industrial” music, influencing later bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, among others.

However, Hacke has a strong musical resume in his own right, playing guitar for Crime and the City Solution (featuring members of The Birthday Party), Jever Mountain Boys, and Italy’s Gianna Nannini. He has produced albums for Klaus Kinski, anarchist songwriter Fred Alpi, Miranda Sex Garden, and Meret Becker. And of recent note, he has produced and composed for various films, including “Gegen die Wand" (Head On), directed by Fatih Akin and awarded with the Golden Bear at the 2004 Berlin International Film Festival (and which prominently features the track “Sugarpie” off “Sanctuary”), and is currently producing the music for Akin’s upcoming film “Crossing the Bridge/The Sound of Istanbul.
