About

Camouflage is a German synth-pop trio from Bietigheim-Bissingen, consisting of Marcus Meyn (vocals), Heiko Maile (keyboards, production) and Oliver Kreyssig (keyboards). Founded in 1983 as Licensed Technology, they renamed themselves after a Yellow Magic Orchestra track. Their debut single The Great Commandment (1987) topped the US Billboard Dance Chart and broke the top ten in over twenty countries, turning the band into an international synth-pop act overnight. Eight studio albums and four decades later, they remain one of the most influential names in European electronic pop.
