"The double LP comes in a printed cardboard box with DVD, libretto, 16p LPsized booklet.
Co-release with Trost, one-time pressing of 400.
A music drama performed in the Hebbel Theatre Berlin in 1994. Even within the sprawling oeuvres of Sven-Åke Johansson and Alexander von Schlippenbach, both known for their innovative rethinking and broadening of artistic categories, the dramatic work "... über Ursache und Wirkung der Meinungsverschiedenheiten beim Turmbau zu Babel" ("... on cause and effect of the disagreements during the building of the Tower of Babel") remains a unique and rare enigma: What is it actually? Johansson has alternately called it a music drama, an opera, and a singspiel with environment.
