Release Notes:

Leµther Strip's aggressive, mostly electronic industrial recordings - for Zoth
Ommog Records in Germany and Cleopatra in the States - are the work of one Claus
Larsen (b. Nov. 13, 1967), a resident of Aalborn, Denmark. After playing in
several metal bands during the '80s, he began recording as Leµther Strip in 1989
with the "Japanese Bodies" single, released on Zoth Ommog. Larsen issued two
albums the following year - The Pleasure of Penetration and Body Rapture - in
addition to an EP and another single. He was also busy in 1991, releasing the
album Technopolis 2 and the EP Object V. After 1992's Technopolis 3, Leµther
Strip's material gained a wider release in Europe through the Semaphore label,
beginning with that year's Solitary Confinement.

Larsen's first American release appeared in 1993, when Cargo released the best
of his early recordings as Penetrate the Satanic Citizen. That same year, he
recorded Cyberworld (for the Danish label Hardest) and signed to Cleopatra for a
permanent American deal. Leµther Strip's first album for Cleopatra, Fit for
Flogging, also appeared in 1993. His third album of new material that year was
the German Zoth in Your Mind, and Larsen finished the incredibly prolific year
with Underneath the Laughter - released by both Zoth Ommog and Cleopatra.

The following year, 1994, was a comparably relaxing one, as Larsen released only
Melt (for the Finnish Cyberware label) and Serenade for the Dead. Leµther
Strip's 1995 albums included one each for Zoth Ommog (Positive Depression) and
Cleopatra (Legacy of Hate and Lust). As if his release schedule wasn't dizzying
enough, Larsen also finds the time to record as Klute.

Classic tracks, VBR quality. Enjoy!
