After Chris Franke had left the group and the contract with Jive Electro had come to an end, the remaining duo of Edgar Froese and Paul Haslinger signed with the Los Angeles-based Private Music label that had been founded back in 1985 by former TD member Peter Baumann. 'The Melrose Years' had begun. Edgar Froese: "It's a very interesting development, in that we have already worked together as musical partners for seven years. For the last ten years we have been following our individual paths in different countries. Now we're again partners, but on a business level -- and that is very adventurous for both sides."

The first album released by Private Music was Optical Race in 1988. The sleeves of some of the releases featured a figure die-cut out on the front and a small square die-cut out on the rear side. Together with the multi-coloured paper insert this led to a very special effect.
