The album was released as a limited edition cassette on the British York House Records (YHR) label.

Background

[edit]

On June 12, 1980, Cluster performed at the Wiener Festwochen Alternativ with Farnbauer. The style of much of the music is highly experimental and discordant and very reminiscent of Moebius and Roedelius' early work with Conrad Schnitzler in Kluster, albeit with updated electronic instrumentation. Two notable exceptions are "Piano and "Ausgang", which are melodic in style. "Piano" concludes with a live rendition on "Manchmal" which originally appeared on the album Grosses Wasser (1979).

On the CD reissue, some of the songs were edited down to fit the 80-minute time restraints of the CD. About a minute and a half of audience applause and live stage prep was edited out between "Service" and "Kurz". Also, "Drums" was edited down to just over half of its original length to 7:35.

Two excerpts from this album, were included as bonus tracks on the Hypnotic CD reissues of the first two Kluster albums, Klopfzeichen and Zwei-Osterei. A 15:56 long excerpt of "Metalle" beginning about 3:03 was included with "Klopfzeichen". A 15:10 long excerpt of "Service" beginning about 3:01 was included with "Zwei-Osterei"
