Die Tür ist zu (German for The Door Is Closed) is an album by the American rock band Swans, released in 1996 only in Germany. It is particularly notable for its unusual combination of both studio and live recordings in a wide variety of contexts. Specifically, it contains early, German-language versions of two songs on the then unreleased Soundtracks for the Blind album, two studio outtakes ("Surrogate Drones" which would also appear later on Soundtracks for the Blind, and "You Know Everything (reprise 1991)" recorded for White Light From the Mouth of Infinity and already released on the "Celebrity Lifestyle" CD single), a radio performance excerpt from the VPRO session on December 14, 1994, and two live songs from the Astoria, London, 1995.
Note: During the session at VPRO also the songs "I See Them All Lined Up", "My Buried Child" (which appears on the "I Am the Sun" 7") and "She Lives!" were recorded all acoustic.
