The first album from Cinema Strange on the German label, Trisol, released in 2000 and collecting the self-released 6-song cassette EP "Acrobat Amaranth Automaton" (1996) and the first two self-released vinyl seven-inch records that the band released in 1998 and 1999, respectively. These recordings defined the new, or as Lucas Lanthier likes to put it, the "post" batcave.
