Stimmen Reste (English: Voice Remainders) is the seventh release of Einstürzende Neubauten's Musterhaus project, a series of highly experimental CD releases that were only available via an annual subscription through their website or from shows during their 25th Anniversary Tour. This project was separate from their Neubauten.org Supporter Project, which it ran concurrent to.
The focus of this Musterhaus release is manipulation and experimentation of leftover vocal recordings from earlier projects that were either not previously released ("Gestern"), or have never been properly recorded ("Semiotische Musik #5"). Enhancing them are some leftover recordings of polystyrene, electronic pulses, hammond organs, bass guitar, and metal percussions that also fell to the side.

Notes
