This was Rother & Dinger's first recording together after they left Kraftwerk in 1971. They continued to work with Conny Plank, who had been producing the Kraftwerk recording sessions.
The track Negativland provided the name for a later group of American musical satirists.
There are two songs on the album which contain the influential "Motorik" beat. These are Hallogallo and Negativland.
The song Hallogallo was "covered" by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree on the Insignificance demos; despite the names, the two songs are extremely dissimilar in most respects.
