Five-track mini-album, including a free CD version. For a short period in 1981 and with brand-new equipment such as a Roland 808, SH 101 and GR 500, classic German dance duo Laid Back made some 8-track "just for fun" jam tapes, mainly just to experiment for their own pleasure. From those sessions, only the legendary "White Horse" made it to a final treatment. The rest of the material was left behind, as their record company at the time found it too "different." After "White Horse" became a track that defined their sound, the duo thought it would be interesting to dig out leftovers to fulfill a documentation of that period -- crucial for the artists at the time. They were still innocent newcomers, who didn't actually know that they were creating a new sound. Recently, that leftover material was transferred from analog to digital, and, to stay as true as possible to original intentions, they only added vocals, bass and drum-beats ahead of a final mix.
