Baader Meinhof is a 1996 album by Luke Haines, under the pseudonym Baader Meinhof. The name is taken from two of the main members of the Red Army Faction, Andreas Baader and Ulrike Meinhof, and the album, composed of 10 tracks, tells the history of group, since the ideas that might have inspired the group (in the first track, there's a quote from the student movement leader Rudi Dutschke: "Rudi said 'we got to be wise and we got to get armed'"), their first actions ("Burn Warehouse Burn"), their travel to Jordan ("Meet Me at the Airport"), their capture, the hijacking of a Lufthansa airplane by the members of the "second generation" of the RAF, in 1977 (one of the events that marked the German Autumn) ("Mogadishu").
In 2014, British independent record label 3 Loop Music re-released the album on heavyweight 180gsm vinyl and as an Expanded CD Edition which included four remixes from a previously unreleased EP.
After the commercial failure of the Auteurs' After Murder Park (1996), and the release of the Kid's Issue EP in May 1996, the band broke up. Frontman Luke Haines created the Baader Meinhof project, named after the 1970s German organisation.[2] An album was created based on the After Murder Park track "Tombstone".[3]
In a retrospective review, Jake Kennedy of Record Collector considered it one of Haines' best releases that "stands the test of time remarkably well".[5] Author Dave Thompson, in his book Alternative Rock (2000), called it a "jarring collection which lived up to both its maker's reputation and its own pretentions."[3] He added: "Simultaneously miles removed from, and inextricably involved with the parent concern; sensually sinister and bitterly poppy; terrorist pop of the highest measure."[3]
