Brimborium is a remix album by the industrial rock band KMFDM. It was released on 19 February 2008.

It features remixes of several tracks from 2007's Tohuvabohu , one remix from Hau Ruck , and the new track "What We Do for You", which consists of voice messages from the KMFDM Fan Phone and whose title references the band's 1993 hit, "Light".

"Brimborium" is a German word that translates to "hoo-ha", "mumbo-jumbo", or "rigmarole". [4]

The background drop zone in the artwork by Aidan Hughes was based using an old street map on his home town of New Brighton. [5]
