Production
editThe record contains 4 different remixes of a song called Mars,[1][2] with each member of the band contributing a version.[3] "LX" can be attributed to Alex Paulick, "Sølyst" is Thomas Klein's moniker for his solo-albums,[4] Andreas Reihse has released as "April",[5] which leaves "Lo Firer Esplendor" to Detlef Weinrich.
Mars Chronicles seems to be a verbicide on Ray Bradbury's book The Martian Chronicles (in German: "Die Mars Chroniken"[6]).
Release
editThe album is the second collaboration between Georgian artist Andro Wekua and the band – after the album "Tank" earlier in 2011.
It was released August 2011 in a hand-numbered edition of 100 (plus 30 Artist's proofs) on Dutch/German label en/of[7][8] (EN/OF 043).
The first flapper of the gatefold sleeve holds Sunset a photo print signed by Andro Wekua,[9] the second flapper the vinyl.
