LP version. Just two years separate
Pyrolator
's 1979 debut
Inland
and the 1981 album
Ausland
. Nevertheless, they could hardly be more different from one another. If
Inland
reflects the industrial decay and politically-explosive atmosphere of 1977 and the years thereafter in the Federal Republic of Germany, then
Ausland
is a buoyant, playful and yet groundbreaking pop album. There had been some significant developments since 1979. The Ata Tak label, which Pyrolator had co-founded, had hit a rich vein of form with the debut album by
Der Plan
(Pyrolator was also a band member),
Andreas Dorau
's hit single "Fred Vom Jupiter" and
Holger Hiller
's debut single. Pyrolator made his first trip to the USA, travelling the land from east to west over a period of three months. This all paved the way for the production of
Ausland
and pointed the way ahead for the Ata Tak label as well. On the West coast, Pyrolator met up with the Los Angeles Free Music Society (LAFMS), a collective in the process of exploring the frontiers between noise and industrial on the one hand and easy listening on the other. It was the influence of such free spirits which opened up the Ata Tak world and that of Pyrolator to "Schlager" and its American equivalent, easy listening. This mix of electronic elements and supposedly left-field pop music of times past runs through the Ata-Tak oeuvre and, with the benefit of hindsight, can be identified as the label's trademark. A further difference to
Inland
is that a long list of musicians participated in the
Ausland
recordings. In the USA, Pyrolator played together with designer
Chris Lunch
and his brother as support act for the likes of
DNA
and
X
. This moved Pyrolator to decide that he would not produce his next album alone, but with other musicians and technicians. With the help of the genius
Werner Lambertz
, inventor of "Brontologik," a forerunner of midi systems, and Ata Tak and
Der Plan
cohort
Frank Fenstermacher
, Pyrolator recorded the backing tracks on which other musicians would subsequently play their overdubs. The critics were in agreement when
Ausland
was released. From the progressive
Sounds
to the rather more traditional
Musikexpress
, all the way to the British
New Musical Express
(
NME
), the album met with universal praise.
NME
heralded Pyrolator as a "great pioneer" and quite right, too. He is still a pioneer today. Vinyl contains 6 bonus tracks, mastered from the original tapes.
