- a conceptual album? Or, home is where the voice is.
After
the release of his debut album ‘Inland’ and the equally well-rated first
LP with Der Plan, the Pyrolator started summer 1981 with his work on
“Ausland”.
In
the heat of summer 1981 the album was recorded, with the help of various
international musicians, in the studios of the brilliant inventor and
sound-genius Werner Lambertz on the first digital-sequenzer “Brontologic”,
the first production outside the atatak-studios.
The
reaction of the press and the public could not have been more euphoric when
Ata Tak’s tenth release ‘Ausland’ fi nally appeared at the end of
1981. Musikexpress conferred a top rating and Diedrich Diedrichsen applauded
in Sounds “At last we’ve made it: a German record which one can enjoy
all the more because it’s not the usual ‘well for Germany ...’ A
record with qualities not yet achieved during the years of stagnation in the
Germany’s New Wave music”. Even the international press is unanimous.
New Musical Express’s Chris Bohn elevated Pyrolator to a “great pioneer”.
Alfred Bos of the Dutch magazine Oor wrote “I don’t wish to dramatize,
but this record could prove to be an important infl uence in 10 years time,
just like ‘Monster Movies’ from Can or ‘The Faust Tapes’ from
Faust”.
The
orginal tapes have been carfully restored and remastered and the CD also
contains 8 Bonus-Track, some of them never released before, like the
live-recording of "program No.1".

Inland - a protest
album? After the first
DAF-LP "Inland" is the second release of the young atatak-label in 1979.
His musical experimentation was eclipsed by feelings of protest – the
result of strongly politicized times, the ‘Deutsche Herbst’ (peak of post
war anti-establishment activity in Germany) and its resulting build up of
arms as well as an increasing conservatism in the liberal-socialist coalition in Germany, highlighting in NATO’s resolution
to station fire power in Germany, the failed atomic policy with symbolic
incidents at Gorleben and Harrisburg as well as increasing worries about an
atomic war.
Pyrolator began to play with the idea of making a protest album
of a different nature – without words, without speech or without blurting
out lyrics more typical of the punk movement. Images were to be born purely
from sounds telling of protest and criticism. The album title ‘Inland’ was
not just a title, but a bill hinting at the cultural, social and political
phenomena of the late seventies.
The innovative disc was not only mentioned in Germany (Sounds; Rock
Session 4: ‘Effective for Intellectuals’, ‘Independent Expressiveness of
Synthesizers’), also the New Musical Express took notice of ‘Inland’: "Pyrolator’s
solo album is a synthesis of everyday sounds (rain, prattling school children etc.), loops and
keyboards - very fascinating". Even in later years reference was made to
‘Inland’ – e.g. the cover decorated the title page of Testcard Magazin.
Six additional tracks were included on the resulting CD from the same
period of the recordings.
