Trouser Press described the album as "a much stronger album than Fuenf."[3]
Tracks 9, 10, and 11 are taken from the "Feurio!" single and are only present on the 1995 and 2002 re-releases of the album. The 2002 re-release was remastered by the band. On some releases, Epilog is part of Track 4.
"Partymucke" was originally written for Peter Zadek's Andi play, which Einstürzende Neubauten performed live 50 times in 1987.
The Maifestspiele section of "Fiat Lux" contains field recordings from a demonstration in Kreuzberg, Berlin on 1 May 1987.
"Ein Stuhl in der Hölle" and the "Hirnlego" section of "Fiat Lux" were later included as part of the Strategies Against Architecture II collection.[4]
The cover art is based on a woodcut titled "Group of Six Horses" by German Renaissance artist Hans Baldung Grien.
