Album sales proved disappointing to Epic, though the tour for the record was successful (including an opening slot for Roxy Music). The label dropped the band, but Berlin (then Kinscherf) continued to compose and perform with Orchestra Luna, becoming a part of the CBGB scene in New York City and playing with acts like Talking Heads and The Ramones. In 1976, Orchestra Luna was offered a recording contract from Sire Records, which they turned down.
Epic's album sales fell short of their goals, but the accompanying tour was a triumph (including an opening performance for Roxy Music). As a result, Epic dropped Berlin, but the musician persevered, continuing to compose and perform with Orchestra Luna. This led to Berlin becoming part of the thriving CBGB music scene in New York City, where they shared the stage with influential acts like Talking Heads and The Ramones. In 1976, Orchestra Luna was approached by Sire Records with a recording contract offer, which they ultimately rejected.
