Danger in the Past is the debut solo album by Robert Forster, formerly of the Go-Betweens. It was recorded in Germany, where Forster was soon to live.

Details

Forster had recently moved to Bavaria to be with his future wife, Karin Bäumler, who appeared on the album. He said, "I phoned Mick Harvey, who was up in Berlin, and asked him if he wanted to produce it, and he was very enthusiastic."[2]

The album was recorded over 12 days. Musicians on the album included Bad Seeds Hugo Race and Thomas Wydler. Forster said, "It was a stressful time for Mick. He was - I'd call it co-managing The Seeds. But it was a beautiful atmosphere, it was going back to playing living, breathing music. It was the record I'd always dreamed of making."[2]
