Information
Piet Sielck explains that the early albums could not be re-released due to legal reasons but is free to re-record them. He says, "Although we can not re-publish our works from the Noise Records time in the original form, we can re-import them very well. We made use of this possibility and approached the old numbers with much enthusiasm."
