Statement by René Heid:
In 1990 I completed my fashion design studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Arnhem with a collection called ‘Der Aussiedler’, inspired by the political movements in communist Eastern Europe which led directly to the fall of the Berlin Wall. This collection held both a critical and an ironical view of these events in being an attempt to visualise my personal experiences. I asked the Legendary Pink Dots and Bee Queen if they would take care of the music for the fashion show. They both came up with terrific soundscapes and after the show I decided to release their music together with some documentation of my collection and a T-shirt with a specially designed print. Each T-shirt, was individually silk screen-ed and therefore unique. -René Heid

2021 Bandcamp notes:
The concept for “Der Aussiedler” (‘The Emigrant’) was hatched by Rene Heid in 1990, who was an old friend of the Pink Dots and locally famous for always having highly desirable vinyl to trade. Rene was also a fashion student and approached The Dots and Nijmegen compatriots, Beequeen, to create some music for a show he was putting on.
The soundtrack proved to be a success for experimental catwalk in Arnhem and Rene felt that the music deserved a wider audience.
Hence he came up with the idea of a vinyl single – as a 7” and a 12” complete with a T-shirt.
The small edition quickly disappeared but some shirts and 12” vinyls were held back for a special edition 4 years later.
More music was recorded for this follow-up of 30 copies , reproduced on a cassette and every remaining shirt was personalised with signatures and artistic doodlings which verged from the ridiculous to the abominable. All the music has been cleaned up for your delectation here by Raymond Steeg. Enjoy! EK
