This album gave us a little hit in France: “Marlène”, our first ever self-written song in French, originally intended for a guest vocalist, who then couldn’t find the time to sing the song. Kiki jumped in and so became our singer. Along with two other new tracks “Vallée de Sirba” sung by Laulo, of the French band HURLEMENTS D’LEO and the instrumental version of the same tune “Eine Sirba” (recorded by ourselves in a shack in Southern France) the album was made up of tunes from the “Wer ist das?” and HALBE TREPPE albums, previously unreleased in France.
