With the help of the genius Werner Lambertz, inventor of 'Brontologik,' a forerunner of midi systems, and Ata Tak and Der Plan cohort Frank Fenstermacher, Pyrolator recorded the backing tracks on which other musicians would subsequently play their overdubs. This moved Pyrolator to decide that he would not produce his next album alone, but with other musicians and technicians. In the USA, Pyrolator played together with designer Chris Lunch and his brother as support act for the likes of DNA and X. A further difference to Inland is that a long list of musicians participated in the Ausland recordings. This mix of electronic elements and supposedly left-field pop music of times past runs through the Ata-Tak oeuvre and, with the benefit of hindsight, can be identified as the label's trademark. It was the influence of such free spirits which opened up the Ata Tak world and that of Pyrolator to 'Schlager' and its American equivalent, easy listening.
