Bodega Bohemia
''Bodega Bohemia'' is the fourth studio album by German synthpop band Camouflage, released on April 26, 1993 by Metronome Musik. The band moved to Hamburg and began working on the album in mid-1992 following the release of the side-project EP '' Areu Areu''. The aim of the album was to return to an electronic presentation with as much influence from electronics as possible. The resulting album was not promoted well by Metronome, who only released the album and its three singles in Germany. ''Bodega Bohemia'' was the band's last album for the label. Singles Three singles were issued from the album. The first, "Suspicious Love" was released in March 1993, followed by the second single, " Close (We Stroke the Flames)" in June. Both singles were remixed for release. A third single, "Jealousy" was released in August. Track listing All songs written by Camouflage.

In 1985, Camouflage recorded two demo tapes at their studio, and t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synthpop
Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop; ) is a subgenre of new wave music that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument. It was prefigured in the 1960s and early 1970s by the use of synthesizers in progressive rock, electronic, art rock, disco, and particularly the Krautrock of bands like Kraftwerk. It arose as a distinct genre in Japan and the United Kingdom in the post-punk era as part of the new wave movement of the late 1970s to the mid-1980s. Electronic musical synthesizers that could be used practically in a recording studio became available in the mid-1960s, and the mid-1970s saw the rise of electronic art musicians. After the breakthrough of Gary Numan in the UK Singles Chart in 1979, large numbers of artists began to enjoy success with a synthesizer-based sound in the early 1980s. In Japan, Yellow Magic Orchestra introduced the TR-808 rhythm machine to popular music, and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Meanwhile (Camouflage Album)
''Meanwhile'' is the third studio album by German synthpop group Camouflage, released in 1991 by Metronome in Europe and Atlantic Records in North America. Unlike Camouflage's earlier albums, and most of their later work, ''Meanwhile'' features more 'organic' instruments like real drums and guest musicians playing conventional instruments. However, this change brought with it controversy, and Marcus later said that if they had been given advice against the change in style, things may have gone differently. Two singles were released from ''"Meanwhile'': "Heaven (I Want You)" and a double a-side of "This Day" and "Handsome". "Heaven (I Want You)" charted at #57 in Germany.

Spice Crackers
''Spice Crackers'' is the fifth studio album from German synthpop group Camouflage, released on September 11, 1995 by BMG. Background The band's new contract with BMG Germany provided them with full creative freedom, allowing the two to utilise works originally intended for their failed opera project and make them much more experimental, and sometimes even inspired by science fiction films. In March 1995 the band performed in Stuttgart and debuted the new material. Overall, the album was a completely new venture for the group, and unfortunately was not a success. Due to this, the band went their separate ways. CAMOUFLAGE HISTORY: Part six 1994-1996 Singles Two singles were released from the record: "Bad News" in August 1995 and "X-Ray" in early 1996.
