I don't know if trying will do
The silence
A mirror
That breaks the light in two
Come to me...and with violence
We'll discover what will make us free
accelerate...we'll try to stand
Where no one dared to be
We're climbing high, we'll fly away
We're fearless indeed
When time stands still...
A moment lasts... Approaching lightspeed
We're climbing high, we'll fly away
We're here to move...we'll move to stay
When time stands still...a moment lasts
We're moving on...we're flying fast
Approaching lightspeed
Amazing that at least one other listener realizes that there is an entire modern genre sounding like this. What began back in the seventies with kraftwerk et al never died, that sound just gradually reinvented itself into any number of styles that are still very much evolving.
Calling this 80:ies just shows an impressive level of ignorance.
Andrews point about market control and cultural impact stands pretty well btw, the recording and broadcast industry hates diversity.
Well said!
I am afraid we have to see them with the eyes of their times and synth was a revolution in the 80's.
I love this band. I think they are great and very original (Depeche Mode copied them in fact)
Depeche Mode originated in 1977, then released their first CD in 1981. Wolfsheim released theirs in 1992 with the first single released in 1991. That said, Wolfsheim became a band in 1987. Depeche Mode has the jump.... this according to the wonderful world of Wikipedia.

This is exactly what I keep hearing too! I really have a soft spot for silly electropop like this.
In fact the voices sound really, really completety different...
Are you guys saying that you can look out of your window and wave to the little photons going past?

interesting that you call this sound "reinvented." i'd like to hear an explanation of exactly how this shows any musical growth from what was being created in the eighties. there is no reinvention or evolution here, just a mimicry of was done 20+ years ago. everybody recognizes the impact of kraftwerk and depeche mode and other electronic pioneers of the late 70s and early 80s. it has been done - long ago. it's time to move on. let's hear something that builds on that foundation and brings something fresh and inventive.

You might want to check your facts. I think you will find that Depeche Mode were around a good few years before these guys. Regardless, this is very listenable....is that a word ?

I was thinking about Placebo meets Depeche Mode, the result is the same though.
seriously.....they don't.
unbearable drivel this is.

I've been into this kind of music since the early 80s. The "alternative" electronica scene such as industrial, synthpop, darkwave, EBM and much more is hugely underrated and presents some of the most interesting acts today. Myspace has vast amounts of unsigned or independet bands in these genres. But most people still regard this kind of music as inferior to that played on traditional instruments. Personally I've been playing the drums in various bands and am now producing industrial. I can assure any doubting Thomas'es that creating good quality electronica is equally demanding as playing a "real" instrument.

I think it's more about CONTROL. Here in America, Clear Channell and its associates like to have complete CONTROL over programming, market research, demographics, the sure thing, lowest common denominator. This also CONTROLS the culture quite conveniently. Because the men & women in the suits with their calculators and charts KNOW BETTER than music lovers and don't give a crap about the sophisticated music buyer and that demographic's effects on sales. Then they wonder and whine and point to other reasons sales are down, it can't be because of their suffocating, tyrranical, insane, imperialistic CONTROL over content, could it? Of course not, it's file sharer's faults and the internet's fault, and DVD movie sales fault, and bad bands not selling's fault, etc. Now run out and buy the new Hillary Duff CD, the new American Idol winner's CD, the latest rap CD, and another copy of your not worn out classic rock CD— that's an order, soldier maggot citizen.
Well said sir.
But guess what.....I STILL LOVE RADIO PARADISE.
actually i think the equation needs to include ultravox too.
isn't this station controlled by just one person? your theory needs some work, better hit the books a little more.
Stop! Hitting! The! Books!
das ist Unglaublisch! Hitting Books! LIke hitting your best friend!
But on the other hand, speaking of that comment about Hillary Duff .. yeah, I'd hit it ...

This was a very famous song from Peter Heppner (Wolfsheim) and Joachim Witt

Go watch the movie "Before The Music Dies". Highly recommended!

Reminds me more of Depeche Mode
