The title »It was the streets that raised me, streets that paid me, streets that made me a product of my environment« is a reference to what motivates our work: the streets of the city (in this work, Leipzig) as the setting—as well as our favored forms of subculture as the »soundtrack« of our artistic work. That is why it comes in a printed record sleeve; the content is totally pure, just pictures, while all information, similar to liner notes, are found on the sleeve.
