It was reissued as a Conrad Schnitzler solo album under the title Schwarz (literally "Black"), though the contributions by Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius were credited.

The album was not released under its proper title, Eruption, until the reissue on CD in 1997 by German label Marginal Talent.

Conrad Schnitzler also reissued Eruption on CD on Norbert Schilling’s ‘Plate Lunch’ label.

In places the style also begins to resemble the electronic sound heard on early albums by Cluster, the successor to Kluster which came into being after Schnitzler's departure.

John Bush, writing the review for Allmusic, describes the music in part as having: "...forbidding violin lines, heavily distorted organ, and an assortment of tape effects leading the way for several minimalist guitar workouts.
