Organisation was a short-lived experimental band from Düsseldorf, whose full name was „Organisation zur Verwirklichung gemeinsamer Musikkonzepte“ (Organisation for the Realisation of Joint Musical Concepts). It was founded in the late 1960s by two art students, Florian Schneider-Esleben (flute, bell, triangle, violin) and Ralf Hütter (organ). Butch Hauf (bass), Fred Monicks (drums, percussion) and Basil Hammoudi (glockenspiel, percussion) completed the line-up. They played free avant-garde rock featuring a wide variety of abstract sounds, flute tones, drums, a diverse range of percussion instruments and organ chords. They performed primarily within the art scene, in galleries and at universities, as their improvised avant-garde music failed to secure them any gigs in the traditional music scene.

In 1969, the quintet recorded a demo tape, which they produced together with the legendary producer Conny Plank. He set up a production company specifically for this purpose, through which the demo recordings found their way to the major label RCA in London. Consequently, the album Tone Float was released in August 1970 with a cover design by Roger Wootton, the singer and songwriter of the band Comus. By that time, however, the band had already disbanded, so it remained their only release. As it was only published in England, it was a commercial failure, meaning the record company also lost interest. This rare LP would probably have disappeared completely into oblivion if Florian Schneider and Ralf Hütter hadn't founded the world-famous Kraftwerk (Ralf & Florian, Radio-Aktivität) afterwards. This makes it extremely sought-after and incredibly high sums are paid for the rare English originals.
