From Bullerbü to Babylon is the second album by the German pop duo Foyer des Arts . It was released on WEA Records in 1982 . The album was recorded in March 1982 in "Studio 54" in Berlin on Hohenzollerndamm.

history

After the underground success “A Queen with Wheels Down” (1981), Foyer des Arts was signed by WEA. Two singles were released from the album, “Things worth knowing about Erlangen” and “Trends / Helicopter deployment”. "Worth knowing ..." was the only real hit from Foyer des Arts and reached number 36 in the German charts.

Since the album was long out of print, the album was re-released in summer 2003 with a slightly changed track list (see below). Max Goldt wrote in the booklet of the 2003 version of the original album: “Its release […] was preceded by unpleasant compromises between the artists and the record company, so that I was never satisfied with the product - and with the product that started a few months after its release Twenty years of non-availability accordingly not very unfortunate. ” The CD cover has been completely changed. It was painted by Stephan Katz , with whom Max Goldt has worked for a long time as the comic duo Katz + Goldt .

The radio show “Von Bullerbü nach Babylon”, hosted by Jan Möller on the byteFM station , was named after this album.
