According to Karl Bartos, the album is a concept album about electronic media:

»Communication« is about the way images shape our view of the world and how electronic media is going to change the contents of our culture"

— Karl Bartos in 2003, [5]

Release


Some editions of the CD come in a special Burgopak-Case, which is unusual in that the CD tray and booklet both emerge sliding out from opposite sides of the case and must be opened together.

The limited edition was issued as CD Extra and contains the video clip for "I'm the Message" as well as a download link for two remixes of the song by Felix Da Housecat and Orbital.[6]

The album was re-released on March 25, 2016 on CD and Vinyl, including remastered tracks and the bonus song "Camera Obscura".[7]
