CAMOUFLAGE HISTORY
Part four 1990-1991: |  |
 |
At the beginning of 1990 Oliver Kreyssig left the band for personal reasons. In October Heiko
and Marcus traveled to the Black Barn Studio in England and began work on the third album
"Meanwhile" with producer Colin Thursten (known for his work with David Bowie, Talk Talk,
and Duran Duran). Surprisingly this new album included real drums and conventional musical
instruments played by guest musicians.
In February 1991 the first single "Heaven (I Want You)" was released (Chart position 57) in
Germany and the USA. In March the album "Meanwhile" was released worldwide in more than
25 countries. In May the second German Tour began and in August a second single was released
as a double A-side containing "This Day" and "Handsome".
Unfortunately the successes of previous years didn't follow with "Meanwhile". In 1995 Marcus
said the following, "Naturally we would have preferred that things had gone differently. But it
was our wish at the time to make this type of record. For that reason the situation was perfectly
OK for us. Looking back today, we would have liked to have had better advice at the time,
recommending against this drastic stylistic change in our music. But things went the way they
did...." |
