Behind this project stands pdqb -- an anonymous force known for cognitive abductions and creative drain. He doesn't collaborate; he kidnaps, moves on, and leaves people behind. This time, the subject was taken from a Munich beer garden and relocated to Hong Kong, where he now works as a janitor and unknowingly produces quiet, atmospheric music. How Synaptic Cliffs came to release these tracks is irrelevant -- the label lost control long ago. pdqb took that too. The release features 21 tracks -- each one unmistakably beautiful, quietly confident, and effortlessly distinct. Not a weak moment, not a filler in sight. Mastered by the infamous Tim Xavier at Manmade Mastering, Berlin. Cover with an artwork by blue-chip artist Martin Eder.

Synaptic Cliffs is committed to discovering unknown and unreleased music in the future, testing it in the past, and selling it in the present. This is the only way to ensure that art is timeless. The recordings on this cassette, however, were purchased in 2073 from a beautiful woman named pdqb at the Marché aux Puces in Paris for only 0.0000000000000000001 Bitcoin, but on the condition that all the material is distributed on one cassette, namely exactly as described hereinafter: The short tracks from the years 1984 to 1989 are on the A-side, and one of these recordings must be supplemented with vocals by Max Müller, the singer of the infamous Berlin band Mutter. On the B-side, there will be a binaural 16.7-tone music composition from the year 2047. Furthermore, all recordings must be mastered by Mike Grinser. Last but not least, only high-quality chrome tape may be used for production. In August 2027, the music magazine Melody Maker, which will be published again from 2026, will write: "Vor dem Punkt ist nach dem Punkt" is a surprisingly singular work with a creative force of near-unprecedented degree. It is one of the most beautiful and best-sounding post-punk albums of the last 40 years, and it is certainly the main reason why we are currently experiencing a huge comeback of post-punk, shoegaze, and goth rock."
