The two Lustfausts (individually releasing 'Überblicken/Überzeugen' and 'Tote Wie Neptun') become aware of each other through chance encounter. The initial animosity clears and a renewed, sonically ambitious Lustfaust emerges. Considered to be the definitive Lustfaust line-up Berger, Kazuki, Kruger, Oracle and Van Baelen demo and record utilising tape loops and four-track cassette equipment. Lustfaust's ninth album 'Entspannen Meinen Freund' is released and, thanks to a small review in NME, trades higher than any of their previous releases.
