What the label says about Jewels, by Einsturzende Neubauten:

Rush release of new album of 'miniatures' to tie in with Einstürzende Neubauten's London Forum gig May 25th, in very lavish packaging.
The 'Jewels' album is the result of an experiment, which led the band back into hidden niches of the Einstürzende Neubauten universe. Initially, these miniatures were conceived only as downloads for the supporters of neubauten.org. Consequently, the time spent was limited; and the Neubauten sought after a creation process, which would develop the necessary dynamics. In this context Blixa Bargeld devised an unsystematic, Neubauten-specific deck
of cards that became a game and a navigation system. Every card made a cryptic reference to elements of what the Neubauten have created over
the last 28 years, including the instruments, materials and structures, with references to verse or chorus, intro and outro, middle section, social
relationships and alliances. The band played this card game before every 'Jewels' recording session. It was like Tarot without rules. Everyone drew a
couple of cards and attempted to interpret them. Afterward, the band went into the vaulted cellar of the studio, then spent a large part of the day
converting all these things, objects and materials into ideas.  The result of this "subversive interpretation game" is a concept album with miniatures - small 'jewels', 2-3 minutes in length, about which the Neubauten say "allowed us to deliver some of our most ego-free compositions up to now."
