Подготовка к альбому, первоначально названному «Techno Pop», началась сразу после выхода «Computerwelt» (1981). Первым результатом стал вышедший летом 1983 года сингл «Tour de France», после чего работа была прервана из-за несчастного случая, произошедшего с Ральфом Хюттером во время велосипедной поездки. Кома и последующий период реабилитации по меньшей мере на шесть месяцев отвлекли Хюттера от работы в студии. Когда работа возобновилась, музыканты сочли, что записанный материал уже не настолько революционный по звучанию, как были их предыдущие работы, и заново стали перезаписывать все композиции с нуля, проведя перед этим закупку новейшего оборудования. В итоге работа заняла ещё больше времени, и ко времени окончания альбом получил название «Electric Café» вместо «Techno Pop»; песню «Tour de France» решено было не включать, так как к тому времени уже прошло 3 года с момента её выхода.

Monsters Of Rock, Killer's seventh album, marks the band's 35th anniversary. From the outset the power trio was embraced by a myriad of fans all over the world. Their first three albums: Ready For Hell, Wall Of Sound and Shockwaves, were lauded by aficionados and critics alike as heavy-metal-masterpieces of the 80s. By the mid-80s the band sold albums around the globe and played prestigious festivals; a noteworth climax being a tour of Poland in 1986, where every night they played for captive audiences numbering no less than 10.000 fans In 1990 Mausoleum Records - which had been dormant since the 1986 bankruptcy of it's parent company - made a comeback, and so did Killer. With a second guitar player added to the line-up, Killer's fourth album, Fatal Attraction, eagerly awaited by fans for over five years, was another success.

The beginnings of the Mannheim based Krautrock-legend Kin Ping Meh: This box set edition presents 4 1/2 hours of only unreleased stuff, which should be interesting not only for KPM fans. Among the recordings, there are many "new" old songs, cover versions, sessions, great live performances and alternative versions of KPM's better known repertoire. Moreover, the new CD-artwork concept was made to represent the scene of the frontcover picture of KPM's former "original" debut album a little bit more. These erotic illustrations, which were taken from historic
patterns, relate much closer to the well known Chinese novel "Kin Ping Meh" written by the famous Chinese poet Wang Schi Tschong (1526- 1593). He tells the story of Xi Men Ching, a rich and horny business man, who controled 6 beautiful concubines in his household. The title KIN PING MEH (JIN PING MEI) itself explains this in the same way: "Plum blossoms in a golden vase" meant beautiful women in a well-off house. The new CD-designs shows only in detail, what that meant in daily life. This design scheme was not done in order to achieve more commercial potiential.
Please note: The entire box-set contains a free bonus CD, which is not for sale otherwise. This box set was strictly limited to only 1500 copies made.

Without the rest of the band, lead vocalist and primary songwriter Lenny Wolf choose to retain the bands name and record a third album; the bands final international release on Polygram.

As well as singing and co-writing all the songs, Wolf also played bass and produced the album.
