Oracle parts ways with the band and Van Baelen and his friend Nick Castle (with whom he would later collaborate as 'Die Form') work on material in Ghent over Christmas. Upon his return to Berlin he works with Kazuki (Kruger has little involvement with them at this time) and some material is recorded for the next album. Van Baelen and Kazuki are offered a support slot on Jethro Tull's German tour which renews Kruger's interests. Unfortunately they end up kicked off the tour with Kruger hospitalised after a riot. Whilst recovering Kruger records his contributions to Lustfaust's 11th release. Fetter Kasten is advertised for trade in May 1980 but it's reception is lukewarm.
