Fernwärme

Aside from Liebezeit, the entirety of the album was written and performed by Rother utilising guitar and electronic instrumentation.

[1] The studio album was Rother's first without long-time collaborator Conny Plank, with whom he'd worked with on almost every project he had been involved in.

Rother predominantly utilised drum machines (already apparent on Fernwärme) on his subsequent studio albums.

In 1993, Rother secured the rights to his back catalogue and re-issued all of his solo albums with bonus tracks and remastered sound on his own label, Random Records.

The album has since been released in the US on Water Records and as a heavyweight 180 gram LP on the 4 Men With Beards imprint.
