Electronic trio "Jeanette und das Land Z was founded by Kirsten Klemm,Matthias Schuster and
Jan T.Krahn . At home a few tracks were recorded and in spring 1981 the first 7" "poupee de
cire,,,," a France Gall cover version, was released by Phonogram. The B-side was a strange
soundtrack version of "Raumpatrouille", til today a German cult science fiction television series.
After a series of interviews, great reviews and a radio session in Paris, the band returned to
Hamburg to record their first album at Phonogram studios.At that point Jürgen Weiss joined
the band to play drums on a few tracks.
But after finishing the album, the band didn t come to an agreement with Phonogram, so the band took over the whole Konkurrenz label to start a new and totally independent company.
Inspired by an old song of a german chansonette Hildegard Knef, the band manifested their
independent status by changing the name to "BAL PARE".
