The second album with tracks from the 1977 sessions in Conny Plank's Berlin studio (for further background check post on "Cluster & Eno" LP). At this time the studio was a main source for electronic and experimental music. The two albums were a product of cross-fertilization, mostly shown by the great impact the collaboration had on Eno's contemporary and later work in recording and producing. Side one is instrumental, much reminding of "Cluster & Eno" with soft meditative pieces. Side two have a few more conventional songs, three with lyrics sung by Eno. The recordings took place at the same time as Eno's "Before And After Science" album was made, partly at the same locations with the same crew, and there are many similarities, both big and small - one exemple being "T'zima N'arki" using the vocal track from "King's Lead Hat" played in reverse. The previous album brought some international attention and it seems they were trying to open up further with this, making it a little more attainable and having the song titles in English instead of German. All instruments by Moebius, Roedelius and Eno, with Can bassist Holger Czukay guesting on one track. Co-produced by Cluster, Eno and Conny Plank who also engineered. As far as I know originally only released in Germany, but had re-issues on LP and CD in USA, Canada, Japan and Germany 1989-2009). This issue with label as shown here and fully laminated cover.
