Fernwärme

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

Fernwärme is the fourth studio album by the German solo musician Michael Rother and was released in 1982 on Polydor. He recorded it in 1981 at his own Flammende Herzen Studio in Forst. It was his first album without Conny Plank, with whom he had made almost all of his work. It was also the last time for drummer Jaki Liebezeit: he played on the first four solo albums. Rother played the rest himself, on guitar and electronics. On later records he mainly used drum machines, although that can already be heard on this album.

The singles were Silberstreif and Hohe Luft. Silberstreif is the first track on the album. In some English-speaking countries the record was released under the title Silver Streak. Most critics reacted positively.
