(1979-84), who by the way never was a physician or a psychiatrist, let alone a patient, meanwhile vanished into the branch film music, is planning, as he himself indicated, a Hollywood film. Stimulated by our publications, our texts are meant to serve as the script for the film. All the more it is necessary to counteract any erroneously done equating of the SPK/PF(H) with this ex-show biz band. We have done our part by publishing this book. In this book the ex-leader of the ex-band himself is reporting that it was the patient Neil Hill who has prescribed our name SPK to the band as - let’s say - a programme, before he killed himself years later, like various other members of the band, that is, as we call it, he was murdered by the murderous iatrocapitalist conditions. In the music scene, in the literature trade and in the film business many things „got stuck" and they cannot be brought back to life. In this point we cannot but agree with the commentator of the corner of the reader’s letters. As far as we are concerned, SPK/PF(H), we do not want to be read, to be filmed, to be tootled, but wherever possible to be continued, no!, to be surpassed. (Taken from a magazin of The Netherlands of January 23, 1998) Der leader dieser ehemaligen show band S.P.K. (1979 – 84), übrigens weder jemals Arzt oder Psychiater, geschweige denn Patient, mittlerweile verduftet in die Branche Filmmusik, plant, so ließ er selbst verlauten, einen Hollywood-Film. Angeregt durch unsere Veröffentlichungen, sollen auch unsere Texte als Drehbuch dafür herhalten. Umso mehr gilt es, jeder irrtümlichen Gleichsetzung von SPK/PF(H) mit dieser ex show biz band entgegenzuwirken. Wir haben das Unsere getan, indem wir dieses Buch herausgebracht haben. Der ex-leader der ex-band selbst berichtet darin, daß es der Patient Neil Hill war, welcher der band unseren Namen SPK, sozusagen als Programm, verordnet hat, bevor er sich Jahre später, wie mehrere andere band-Mitglieder, umgebracht hat, das heißt, wie wir es nennen, durch die mörderischen iatrokapitalistischen Verhältnisse selbstgemordet wurde. Was aber uns betrifft, SPK/PF(H), so wollen wir weder gelesen, noch gefilmt, noch bedudelt werden, sondern, wo immer möglich, fortgesetzt, nein!, übertroffen werden.
