Reissue (originally released in 1987). A cynic might propound the notion that to reissue an album entitled „Es ist eine fremde und seltsame Welt” at this particular moment would be to hit the nail on the head with painful exactitude. No cynics here, however, only music lovers.Moritz R: I made the cover. My idea was for everything in the photo to be black, we even used embossed type sothe entire cover was black. (editor’s note: no embossed type on the reissue due to the cost, but our album price is undeniably attractive). Pyrolator: The name of the album is simultaneously the concept. Numerous diverse pieces which illuminate the world in all its absurdity. The album title is lifted from the David Lynchmovie Blue Velvet (“It’s a strange world”). The songs on the album were, for the most part, composed in a legendary session, improvisations really. We decidedto play each piece in a different key and use irregular time signatures
