History[edit]

The real beginning of music production goes back to 1980, when Bruno Waser produced the first Swiss punk LP (Crazy). This was followed by the production of further (vinyl-)records for the Lucerne punks Crazy as well the dark-wave band mittageisen.

A view years later, in 1991, the production of a compilation CD for the punk band Crazy, followed in 1994 by the album alles ist anders ... nichts hat sich geändert (everything is different ... nothing has changed) by mittageisen.[4]

After recognising the potential of the Internet as a distribution channel for independent produced music during a visit to Ars Electronica in Linz (AT) in 1995, Bruno W founded the record label mital-U and went on to produce records for various bands such as Grauzone, mittageisen, The Vyllies.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
