Looking for alternative means of distribution (Kruger's funding is also generating creative tensions among the band) Lustfaust put the next tape out through the fledgling tape trading network. Recorded during the same sessions as their previous album 'Tiefländer', Konstruktion Funktionsstörung is released towards the end of September 1977. This is the first tape to be sent out with photocopied instructions to create a cover for yourself and whilst interest is meagre (only around 20 are traded upon first release) additional ad's generate a further 100 trades over the following few months.
