Info: | Boytronic was founded in the early
80’s in Hamburg by Holger Wobker (aka Bryllyant Berger) and
Peter Sawatzki. At the beginning, under the moniker of Kapitän
Sehnsucht, they were in charge of making the soundtrack for some seedy
sex shows on Hamburg’s famous ‘Mile of
Sin’. After a while, the boys found that not so satisfying
and, through it was a well-paid job, they decided to leave, hoping to
break into the world of pop music as Boytronic. They already had some
demo songs that got the attention of Mercury Records. The first single
“You” was recorded highly influenced by the sound
of New Order and Patrick Cowley. It didn’t do very well at
the beginning. It was just a moderate club hit, but soon after they got
lucky and performed “You” on an important German TV
Show. Immediately after the broadcasting, sales climbed like a rocket
and reached 80,000 copies in the first week and the single became a
major hit in the official German sales-charts, reaching position 10. This sudden success was followed by the recordings of the debut album “The Working Model”, that was finished in only fourteen days and released at the end of 1983. “The Working Model” still today is considered as one of the best techno-pop releases coming from Germany in the 80’s. An album more than 40 years old and still sounding so fresh and authentic! This highly welcome re-release of this CLASSIC album includes all tracks from the original Album, but also lots of classic remixes of “You”, “Diamonds and Loving Arms”, “Trigger Track” and “Bryllyant”. |
