303 was a trio from Frankfurt, Germany who started making music in the early 1990s. The group consisted of Jens Thele, who handled melodies and soundscapes, Joerg Lehman on the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, and Andreas Tomalla, who contributed vocals and atmospheric textures. Their sound pulled from ambient and techno, with some ethnic influences mixed in.
They released their first single 'Seasons' in 1992, which became their breakthrough track. That was followed by albums like 'First Album' in 1993 and 'Third Album' in 1996. Other songs from their catalog include 'Whisper,' 'Out Here,' 'Dreamin',' and 'Someone Else.'
Their approach wasn't always conventional, and they faced some resistance for experimenting with song structures and sounds. But they kept at it, and their work eventually found its audience among listeners drawn to their particular blend of electronic music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
