Rafael Anton Irisarri handled the fully analogue remaster, and the cover was newly designed. The track ‘In Moll 4’, which was missing from the original album, is available on vinyl for the first time. In the interview Guentner names influences such as GAS, Maurizio, Plastikman, Slowdive and Ride, and says he had no classical training and never learned an instrument. His early tracks were made on a slow computer with Sound Forge and Acid, and the album title came from Michael Mayer of Kompakt.

He still opened for Nine Inch Nails, which he says was different because Trent Reznor first worked with him in the studio and only later explained the concept. He describes the EDM era as the hardest time, when industry pressure pushed him toward big, catchy tracks, which he called ‘kommerzieller Kram’ and refused to make. In the comments, MCR-T wrote ‘Der Lieblingskünstler deines Lieblingskünstlers’, while Diplo called him ‘einer der besten DJs aller Zeiten’.
