The album was recorded in March 2008 in a garage of artist Rosemarie Trockel in Cologne,[1] Mixed by the band at Tußmann St., re-mixed with Ralf Beck, and mastered by Emanuel Geller.

[2] Impressions d'Afrique was released as a single in January 2010 on 12" vinyl, containing an extended version of the song and a re-mix by Ralf Beck.

In UK magazine The Clash Charlie Frame described the music as "mossy culture multiplying on a bed of wires and computer chips" and the band's aesthetic as "petrol punk (…) that fuses IDM, industrial, African rhythms, Kafka, Godard and Giger with something altogether more futuristic than the sum of its parts.

But synthesizers, electronic effects and the very fabric of the music itself always pulls the live-band fantasy back inside a different kind of logic: an ideal form mapped to an infinitesimally pixellated grid.

The album-trailer directed by Detlef Weinrich intercuts a rotating, flexing cube and pictures of the Iveria hotel Tbilisi (then a refugee home), while the silhouette-like black and white video of Jörg Langkau intertwines imaginary from Africa with abstract geometrical elements.
