The music was created as a soundtrack for a thriller by Austrian director Gerald Kargl (1983). Rather unusually, the whole album was ready even before the movie was shot. Gerald Kargl actually wanted to adjust the images to Schulze's music and not the contrary. The result is a very weird film, completely centered on the music and the inner dialog of its main character played by Erwin Leder. The film deals with a schizophrenic killer just released from jail and freaking out while walking through a residential area, killing people in their houses, saying things like: "I actually could kill these people too... Is it necessary? Yeah, just to remain on the safe side". Klaus Schulze remembers: "It was such a crazy movie that I wondered whom they actually should arrest: the director or the killer..."
