Discography

Discography

Please help compile the definitive Blixa discography outside of official Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds recordings, with links to audio or YouTube if they exist, with as much information as possible (year, others on the song, etc.):

  • song!

andromaeda’s note: will add more streaming links later – just doing the ‘main’ releases. I understand if some of the YT videos don’t work, these are just the only ones I can find (I’ve put alternatives where I can).

I went overboard for the sake of Just In Case – feel free to trim/remove as much as you’d like.
