To celebrate the 50th release on Faux Amis, Lärmschutz invited friends they played with in the past, both live and during recordings, to send in an improvised take of music. Long, short, loud, soft, weird, sweet, melodic, totally messed up: anything goes! After receiving these tracks, Rutger and Stef both made their own mashup mix (without hearing the mix the other did in the process). After those were complete, they both played parts over each mix, resulting in a bigger than big bigband, a true parade of musicians from different genres and makes, all on one tape.
