A German duo whose music moved from ethereal synth-pop to heavier, experimental darkwave over three decades.
For a sense of their range, try 'Das Schwert deiner Sonne' for the darker stuff and maybe 'Happy Birthday' from their top songs list. It's all pretty straightforward once you hear it.
They started in 1990 with Alexander Kaschte on vocals and Michael Borchardt on keyboards, making synth-pop that gradually got heavier. Songs like 'Das Schwert deiner Sonne' show that shift into darkwave territory. Their lyrics often touch on isolation and melancholy, and they've defended at least one track as a commentary on societal values.
Early albums like 'Labyrinth' in 1995 and 'Die Liebe Gottes' in 1997 came out of their synth-pop phase. By 2004, they released 'Zodiak', a concept album based on the zodiac, which marked their move into more experimental work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
