Kreidler produced their followup to '' Weekend '' in the studio of Mouse on Mars . The album , '' Appearance and The Park '' , was released in May 1998 . According to interviews of the band one of the main aesthetic ideas of the album was to make it clear that the band members grew up with ( Anglo-American ) new wave , and not with the German rock music of the 1970s . Even the cover art appears cool , model-like , synthetic , while the ' Park ' in the title refers to the park photography of the previous album 's cover . The Roland Juno synthesizer can clearly heard as a lead instrument in the tracks , the bass lines are reminiscent of music from the Factory label , sound effects recall post punk and sequencers suggest the Synthpop of the 1980s . The first single , " Au Pair " , combines these elements in an epic pop anthem . The video ( directed by Sebastian Kutscher ) for the track was awarded second place at the video awards of the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in 1999
