The in 1990 released album "The Fruits of Sin & Labor" by THE PERC MEETS THE HIDDEN GENTLEMAN is generally regarded as a link between the first two minimalist albums "Two Foozles at The Tea Party" and "This Maid Of Delphi" and the more opulent successful third and fourth albums "Lavender" and "Ages". 1990, Emilio "The Hidden Gentleman" Winschetti and Tom "The Perc" Redecker have been on the road to present their latest album "Maid of Delphi" live. Before they left for the south of France, in order to develop their next album (that became "Lavender"), their record label Strange Ways Records wanted to release another single with the brand new song "Bronx Vanilla" to bridge. Tom and Emilio had another idea, an album with a studio A side and a live B side. With the new "Bronx Vanilla" and some unreleased studio tracks on one side and live recordings from the legendary club Forum Enger 1989 on the other side. So in September 1990. "The Fruits of Sin & Labor" appeared in a limited edition of 2000 copies - only on vinyl. For a lot of fans just "Fruits of Sin & Labor" means the most iconic album, so unabashedly cheeky the two musicians should never act again. Now, almost two and a half decades later, here comes the first publication on CD. The Russian text on the back of the panel (also printed on the CD cover) was written by journalist Ygor Yerenev and comes from the official newspaper of the Soviet armed forces, which were at that time stationed in East Germany.
