Robert Görl was a member of German electro-industrial-punk group Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, whose mix of minimal synths and aggressive beats laid the foundation for the EBM genre. Görl broke out on his own in 1984 for an album that exhibits a softer synth-pop take on the D.A.F. sound, though the wobbly synth tones and drum sequences still bare his trademark. Annie Lennox lends her voice for a few tracks, providing a nice compliment to Görl's Bowie-croon. As a whole, "Night Full of Tension" is a more mature and fleshed-out continuation of the Neue Deutsche Welle sound that blended the best elements of Kraftwerk and Throbbing Gristle.
