The year is 2025 and one retro wave follows another.
Synth-pop is bigger than ever and current productions around the world refer to the sound
the sound of the pre-reunification era in Germany.
What are the originals, the bands and artists of that era, doing today?
Many of them are still doing the rounds as greeters at local eighties parties,
others invest the royalties from back then in growing organic vegetables.
Not so Camouflage. Yes, that's right: THE Camouflage.
The masters of sadness in the guise of electronic songs. The band that started in 1987 with
"The Great Commandment" from Bietigheim-Bissingen straight to the USA,
with music that ingeniously combines the coolness of Kraftwerk, the pop of OMD and the
the melancholic gloom of Depeche Mode.
With their debut album "Voices & Images", the band enjoyed success on both sides of the Atlantic
of the Atlantic. In the USA, they even reached number one in the Billboard Dance Charts.
With the follow-up "Methods of Silence", they were able to seamlessly build on this success and
and created a jewel of a hit with the single "Love Is A Shield", which still
dancefloors and radio stations worldwide.
A lot has happened on our planet since then and the band has come a long way
that has been anything but straightforward.
In the nineties, they played with styles and producers and sought out experimentation.
"Areu Areu", a publishing house for the offbeat, was founded, even an opera project was
was even a grandiose opera project, all in all for Camouflage in equal parts
artistically important and financially disastrous processes.
In the meantime, the record companies were backing other horses that could follow the trends
could chase trends more quickly. That's show business too, thought the band, wiped their shoulders
over their shoulders, continued to record records undeterred, toured the world from Russia
russia to Mexico and steadily expanded their fan base.
You can also rely on the band Camouflage. They do not rest, they do not live
in memory.
They have created beautiful and powerful pieces of music for the here and now
that is about us and our lives.
