A 14 track electropop album (51m 9s) — released October 31st 2011 on Gusstaff Records

In September 2011 Bureau B released the new studio album "Inside The Ships" by one of the most important German electronic-pop bands: TARWATER. Founded somewhere in the offshoots of the East Berlin punk scene, Tarwater have existed since 1995 and can look back at a remarkable history. Since then, the duo consisting of Bernd Jestram and Ronald Lippok (To Rococo Rot) have released more than ten studio records and a considerable number of collaborations with artists like Piano Magic, Tuxedomoon and B.Fleischmann. They have made soundtracks to German silent movies of the 1920s, made musical environments for drama plays from Arthur Miller to Anton Tschechow and even music for the opera "Tosca". If one is talking about Berlin's famous electronic music scene of the late 1990s one has to talk about Tarwater.

Gusstaff Records proudly presents new expanded versions of their five first albums, released originally on Kitty-Yo. All five records are long out of print, made available again by Polish label Gusstaff Records, which has released two other Tarwater albums (Not The Wheel and Donne Moi la Main). Each album contains unreleased or rare bonus tracks and is manufactured as a digipak. In addition to the standard re-issues, all five have been packaged as a special very limited edition box set called "1996-2002".
