This is the eighth Mapstation album Stefan Schneider has released since 2000. In that time he has also been a member of To Rococo Rot and September Collective and has made two albums in collaboration with Roedelius.

Hailing from Dusseldorf, the electronic music artist and producer finds inspiration in African and South American folklore, dub and, naturally, Krautrock, taking his time to process his responses in a consistently thoughtful manner, never resorting to cliche. He has also found time to pursue other projects in recent years including his own excellent Tal imprint.
