This first CD album presents the old tracks restored from tapes, as well as exclusive remixes made by Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe). It's a wonderful excursion into the world of underground noise music which is sometimes extreme but always interesting and unpredictable. Thi is a very special appearance in our personal music research, and is a real discovery for all the fans of the experimental music genre.

The Oval Language is a project existing since 1987, created by Frank Berendt and Klaus-Peter John. They have worked with a wide variety of artists, performers and bands: Nicolai Angelov (BG), Peter Schüler, Daniel Scörnig, Wolgang Putz, Jörg Thomasius (Das Freie Orchester), Tadashi Endo (J), Guido Hübner (Das Synthetische Mischgewebe), Heiner Klus, Stefan Schwab, John Tilbury & Michael Parsons (E), Tresspassers W (NL), John Grznich & Michael Northam (USA), Rüdiger Klose (Die Kastrierten Philosophen), Axel Guhlmann, Andreas Brüning, Thomas N•O•R•A Noack and Torsten Heilemann.
