Brennsto ff owes its popularity, however, to the surprisingly wide range of authors who contribute to the respective topic. Zoologists, Zen monks, ethnologists or dancers expand the range of approaches presented to a single problem.

“After we had no more money for expensive advertising people in 1997 'thanks' to a crisis (looking back, I'm thankful for that), I developed our new advertising line with Didi. I said to him, 'Didi, advertising is actually a nuisance and a nuisance in our everyday lives. If we have to advertise, then I want our advertising to provide 'fuel' for the heart and soul. ' This is how the GEA albums came about. "
