Kollaps is the first official LP by Einstürzende Neubauten,[1] released in 1981 on German label ZickZack as #ZZ 65.
The songs are a mixture of rough punk tunes as well as industrial noises obtained from self-made music machines, electronics, and found objects such as metal plates.
"Jet'M" is a cover of the Serge Gainsbourg song "Je t'aime... moi non plus".
Track 15 of many CD versions of the album is a live recording of "Negativ Nein" from 26 June 1987 at the Tempodrom in Berlin.
Trouser Press described Kollaps as "one of the most shocking visions ever committed to vinyl.
