Escape From the Fallen Planet is a 1986 pop album by Crumbächer. Playing on the theological concept of mankind's fall from Eden, the cover design and several songs illustrate the theme in a sci-fi paradigm (including hairdos and use of hairspray comparable to a-ha and Wham!).[2] For instance, "Crashlanded" describes a crashed spacecraft in need of "divine intervention". In other metaphors, temptation is portrayed as a "Tourist Trap" and death and the afterlife as making the "Graduating Class" ("the honor students leave us all too soon").

Crumbächer's biggest hit on contemporary Christian music radio to date was "Interstellar Satellite".[2]
