But, as Franke said, he (CF) and Edgar are born for music, it's the only way they can fully express themselves. Judging by Edgar's comments on Inkey$ magazine, Peter wanted a more pop-star career, or at least to enjoy the trappings of success more. The other members of the group had/have a totally different work ethic, so I guess Peter sometimes felt the outsider. Fast forward and his later solo career wasn't exactly a huge success (I'm referring to the last two albums), so a change of tact was needed and Private Music was formed. Once again (I'm guessing) the mercurial Baumann probably wanted other things and after so many years of not producing music (bar the odd collaboration) I guess the draw had gone, it wasn't the 70's anymore and he wanted a new challenge....just a guess on my part

EF: "He had a certain type of lifestyle which is totally the opposite of our one, which is ok, we did respect that and we were together for about 6 years, and so a lot of things went fine, some others didn't".
You could tell that Peter wasn't fully into it because he kept disappearing every so often. It speaks volumes that Edgar allowed him back into the band when he returned.
