"The German solo project 'Maria Zerfall' [bedroom-electronics, pure-industrial, and spoken word. --S] started in 1982 by Christine Weyhreter. Her private cassette distribution was called 'Music To Turn To' and was recorded and duplicated privately on a 4-track-tape-recorder, given away to friends and people who were interested in it. Maria Zerfall is like a little philosophy, Maria means 'innocence', and Zerfall is 'decay of all material things'."
