Umculo wawugcwele ukuthuthukiswa, futhi i-disc eyakhishwa kamuva yabizwa ngokuthi ikusasa Lomlando.
Ngawo lowo nyaka, umculi waseMelika onekhono kakhulu, kodwa oyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, uMalcolm Mooney, wajoyina iqembu. Kanye naye, kwadalwa izingoma ze-disc Ilungiselelwe Ukuhlangana Ne-Pnoom Yakho, engazange yamukelwe isitudiyo sokuqopha.
Izingoma ezimbili kule albhamu zaqoshwa ngo-1969 futhi zafakwa eqoqweni lethrekhi ye-Monster Movie. Futhi yonke eminye imisebenzi yakhululwa kuphela ngo-1981 futhi yabizwa ngokuthi iDelay 1968.

Khona-ke uShukai cishe akazange ahlanganyele emsebenzini weqembu ngenxa yokuthi umka-Schmidt waphazamisa emsebenzini wabo.
Ushiye iqembu ekupheleni kuka-1977. Ngemuva kuka-1979, uCan wahlakazeka, nakuba amalungu ngezikhathi ezithile ayesebenza ndawonye ezinhlelweni ezizimele.
Ngemva kokuhlukana kweqembu: 1980 kanye neminyaka elandelayo

Ngo-1999, abaculi abavela ohlwini main (Karoli, Schmidt, Liebetzeit, Shukai) wadlala ekhonsathini eyodwa, kodwa ngokwehlukana, ngoba wonke umuntu kakade iphrojekthi solo.
Ekwindla ka-2001, uMichael Caroli washona, owayephethwe umdlavuza isikhathi eside. Kusukela ngo-2004, sekuqalile ukukhishwa kabusha kwama-albhamu adlule kuma-CD.
U-Holger Shukai ukhiphe amaphrojekthi eyedwa ohlotsheni lwe-ambient. U-Yaki Liebetzeit udlale njengomshayi wesigubhu oqoshiwe onamaqembu amaningi.
UMichael Karoli naye wasebenza njengesigingci seseshini, waphinde wakhulula iphrojekthi eyedwa lapho uPolly Eltes acula khona, kwathi ngo-1999 wasungula iqembu elithi Sofortkontakt!
