I love the genesis of this album: Following the breakup of Can, Czukay would sit at home with his bass and play along to TV shows, ads, and films on his TV, which inspired him to produce this rather soundtrack-esque album.
Czukay had studied under modern composer Karlheinz Stockhausen and followed his lead with various tape loops and musique concrete ideas, including sampling an Iranian singer (who he heard on the radio by chance) and using it in his track "Persian Love".
