[on sleeve]

all the material on this record is not written or rehearsed, only UND ICH WERDE NICHT MEHR SEHEN and AT LAST I AM FREE by other composers were well known before but introduced in our improvisations (B3 and B4) spontaneously to surprise ourselves.
all pieces were recorded in real time and played live in the studio with only a very few overdubs, mainly bass and vocals.
