While Sid and Marty Croft were warping the minds of America's children, Germany had the
puppet sci-fantasy series Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt first airing on German television
30 years ago. We are proud to present the first ever release of the original music.
Join the adventure of Tobbi, a small boy and Robbi, the robot in their Fliewatüüt on the
ground, in the water and in the air. Together they built a vehicle that can swim, fly and
drive and takes them on their journey. In 1972 the producers of the series used a break-through
filming technique: A combination of back projection and puppet acting. Today this series is
regarded as a true classic of German TV-history.
The highlight of the series is undoubtedly the music by composer Ingfried Hoffmann, Germany’s
best organ player in the 1970s. For Robbi, Tobbi und das Fliewatüüt he used contemporary sounds
like Beat, Funk, Jazz and Bossa Nova to create a unique and extraordinary soundtrack. Hoffmann is
also very famous for composing the music for other TV-series like Sesame Street and Hallo Spencer.
Includes the complete original music by composer Ingfried Hoffmann, selected dialogues of the
characters and brand new remix by The Frank Popp Ensemble. The CD comes with an exclusive preface
by composer Ingfried Hoffmann, rare behind-the-scenes shots and lots of essential info and photos.
