Every 'history' is biased and has some kind of ax to grind. The one that Thomas Ziegler and Jason Gross set out to do was no different. In the summer of 1999, Ziegler asked Gross if he wanted to help him put together a multi-CD set to cover the history of electronic music. Gross jumped at the chance, having no idea what he was getting into and with zero experience as a producer. After settling down on a year span (the '80's seemed like a time when things really splintered), Ziegler and Gross then had the pain-staking task of deciding which artists and which pieces should be on it. As detailed in their liners for the release, some legal problems prevented them from including everything that they would have wanted to but in the end, they had 3 CD's with about forty artists, covering some of the most extraordinary composers and visionaries of the last century.

Hier werden Produktionen aus Archiven der Elektroakustischen Musik, wie z.B. dem Archiv der DEGEM oder dem IDEAMA- und dem DEGEM-Archiv des ZKM, dem Archiv des elektronischen Studios der TU Berlin sowie anderen internationalen Archiven und Dokumentationen elektroakustischer Kunst unter verschiedenen Aspekten präsentiert.
