Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie!

Released in 1986 on the German experimental label Selektion, Nichts Niemand Nirgends Nie! serves as a definitive document of the collaborative interplay between P16.D4 and S.B.O.T.H.I. The album emerged from the fertile West German industrial and noise underground, a scene characterized by a refusal of traditional song structures in favor of radical sound manipulation, cut-up techniques, and dense, abrasive sonic layering. It stands as a testament to the era's avant-garde philosophy, where recorded media was treated less as a commodity and more as an extension of performance art.

The album's design and conceptual framework reflect the meticulous, often claustrophobic approach of P16.D4’s Ralf Wehowsky. The project prioritized the deconstruction of source material, often obscuring the origins of its industrial textures to create a disorienting, immersive listening experience. Upon its release, the record was received within specialized experimental circles as a challenging milestone of tape-loop aesthetics, solidifying Selektion’s reputation as a vital conduit for non-conformist electronic music that favored intellectual rigor over commercial accessibility.
