Pyrolator is the co-founder of the legendary German label and publisher Ata Tak, was a member of various seminal post-punk bands such as D.A.F. and Der Plan and released solo albums under his artist name from 1979 onwards until today. His debut album "Inland" from 1979 features cold, urbane, disconcerting synthesizer sounds and aural collages, imbued with the post-punk/industrial zeitgeist as the seventies segued into the eighties. Yet sounding so fresh, it might have been recorded today. "Ausland" has been released 1981 and is an extremely diverse, avant-garde pop album, mixing exotica, bossa nova, disco and spoken word vocals with synthesizer pop, new wave and industrial sounds. Both reissues contain up to eight bonus tracks and are in stores now!
