Brötzmann reflected: "The idea of expressing my love of and admiration for Albert Ayler both man and music in a musical statement is not new.

We both tried to do similar or almost identical things at the same point in time, each independently and without knowing anything about each other each of us within his own culture." This album was recorded in August 1993 at Townhall Charlottenburg in Berlin, and was originally released in 1994 by FMP.
