(vip-schaukel). april 1997 followed the cd import/export on the munich based label compost records. it was recorded in can's inner space studio in weilerswist/cologne with a more developed sound exploring the possibilities of sampling and re-editing genf's live sessions. (aachen-brüssel, medienporno, luftlax/postlax). the set was completed by the vinyl-ep aachen-brüssel with remixes by the bandmembers and whirlpool's hans nieswandt (video: aachen-brüssel (eurocity-mix)). plus another studio track (and one of the group's favourites) nogger. every song genf ever played was released except for one which is included here in a demoversion.
