Order of the day (album)
The order of the day is the title of a collection of texts by Horst Peisker , which appeared in 1978 on a long-playing record by Quasar Sound, spoken by Helmut Qualtinger . In the meantime, when the recording is published, “HL Stein” is given as the author.

The record, with an oversized swastika behind which the interpreter can be recognized, covers the entire cover title, and contains invented speeches, letters, dialogues and notes, mainly from the “Third Reich”, for example Hitler’s “duality speech”, which indicates a schizoid personality disorder. The individual, sometimes disturbing texts have no inner connection with one another. They are titled

- The Oberscharfuhrer
- Philistines

Reviews
Armand Mergen said of the LP release “Connect the past with the current, see beings in the past, and deduce this subtly and honestly with surreal clarity without fear of the cruel, that's what the author and performer want.” For Ernst Herhaus the record roars “realistic details from Hitler fascism, which we can still remember, with Qualtinger's voice in an attack-like alienation into the current apathy. " Gerhard Zwerenz breathed a sigh of relief at the publication:" Yes, Austria still has charm and puns that harlequin Adolf from East Markets knowledge."
Publications
The record was re-released in the 1980s.
The recording was first released on CD in 2004 by Preiser , omitting the "Röhmspiele" . Horst Peisker was no longer given as the author of the texts, but a HL Stein who was not known to literary studies. In 2005, Hörsturz , also citing Stein as the author, was accepted into his program.
