My favorites are Halber Mensch, Tabla Rasa, and Silence is Sexy.
Halber Mensch is not "industrial dirty" in my book, it's almost it's own form of music, like classical symphonic work done with pieces of metal and heavy machinery. Certainly "industrial" in the pre-NIN sense of the term, and sonicly quite heavy at times, but incredibly tightly put together and carefully arranged. Brilliant lyrics too, with a handy English translation on the lyric sheet.
Tabla Rasa has more quiet moments, but is totally consistent with Neubauten's sound, and "Headcleaner" is anything but mellow. Silence is Sexy is along the same lines, but unique in it's own right as well. More English lyrics than normal, but Blixa is just as poetic when his writing is bilingual, in a way even more so.
