To close the list of sizes of filter papers from 100 to 102 Frank Rothe and Mario Schönwälder have searched in their files of older recordings and found some gems of "Berlin School" electronic for a release on this release. More than 45 minutes were so gather. "Filter-Kaffee 100" thus becomes so a prequel to the first 2 volumes of the series. We hear the first experiments of the Rothe & Schonwalder here who offers a Berlin School style more centered on the dark side of the glaucous atmospheres of a music which gave sometimes shivers in the back if one would adapt it to a suspense and/or horror movie.

Filter-Kaffee 101 is the first collaborative project by Mario Schönwälder & Frank Rothe, who composed the music for this album between 2007 and 2011.
The 66-minute outcome, presented as eight different "cups", is melodic and rhythmic sequencer music featuring lots of vintage sound textures and warm solos hovering over them. Its mellow and well-tempered atmosphere also has a certain contemporary technical feel, while at the same time carefully incorporating the profound retro sound and feel of '70's electronic music.
