Beginning in the late 1970s, Rother began issuing LPs under his own name: "Flammende Herzen" (1977), "Sterntaler" (1978), and "Katzenmusik" (1979) all featured drums by Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit. Further releases included "Fernwärme" (1982), "Lust" (1983), "Süssherz und Tiefenschärfe" (1985) and "Traumreisen" (1987). Rother regained the rights to these releases in the late 90s, and re-released CD versions of them, all of which contained bonus tracks, usually in the form of then-current remixes of original album tracks. Along with these reissues were a best-of compilation, "Radio", and a new release, "Esperanza" (1996). His most recent album; "Remember" featured vocals (a first for Rother's solo work) and was released in 2004.
