Bunkertor 7

Bunkertor 7 is an album recorded by the German industrial act, Wumpscut. It was released in Compact Disc format on Beton Kopf Media in 1997, with the catalog number ETAH 2. It was released under the title Bunker Gate Seven by Metropolis Records in North America.
It was first distributed in Europe by Discordia, later in 1997 by Nova Tekk, and again by Connected in 2000 and 2002. There are at least ten different versions of the album.
Bunkertor 7 was inspired by the 1981 short film by Caro/Jeunet Le bunker de la dernière rafale. It contains samples from the movie, notably the alarm sound on "Dying culture". The images in the LP's booklet, including the cover are from the film.
Sputnikmusic staff member Trey assigned a rating of 3.0 to the album's "Re-Sample" edition, calling it "much more than a re-issue. This 1995 electro-industrial classic has been completely re-recorded with help from Haujobb and Stillste Stund."
