Klaus Nomi was a German countertenor noted for his wide vocal range and an unusual, otherworldly stage persona. Nomi was known for his bizarrely theatrical live performances, heavy make-up, unusual costumes, and a highly stylized signature hairdo which flaunted a receding hairline. His songs were equally unusual, ranging from synthesizer-laden interpretations of classical music opera to covers of 60s pop standards

The electronic pop music group Elektric Music was founded by Karl Bartos (former member of Kraftwerk) and Lothar Manteuffel (former member of Rheingold) in 1992.
Their first album Esperanto (1993) is the reminiscent of Kraftwerk.

“Crosstalk” and “Overdrive” were co-written with Kraftwerk collaborator Emil Schult, who also created the graphics for early Elektric Music releases.
Manteuffel left the group following the release of ‘Esperanto’.

“Electric Music” was the second album by Elektric Music project, recorded after the collaboration with UK band Electronic on their 1996 album “Raise the Pressure” and released in 1998. The entire album was written, performed and produced by Karl Bartos and was, according to his website, an “exploration of the sound of the sixties — guitar pop out of the computer!”

Great Sicilian origin actor that you may see in Buffalo 66 or Brown Bunny, Vincent Gallo is also a music artist. He started his career with The Blue Mood, his first band and went on to Zephyr and so on. He directed and wrote the music for Buffalo 66 and made other great underground chilly-experimental-idm-trip-hop-abstract stuff. Worth finding more…unfortunately, youtube does not have more music related documents about Vincent Gallo…What you can hear is only a project, far from the real Vincent Gallo.

Born in October 2001, as well as their own label WWILKO, KAP BAMBINO (the French Orion Bouvier and Caroline Martial) plays an effective and energetic contemporary electronic music.
Based on incisive rythms, intoxicating riffs and dyslexic lyrics, this music defies classification.
Out of control, it is sometimes pop and melancholic, sometimes skinned-raw, but always agressive. They try to exist in the fringe of the actual French musical movement, like some no-futur bastards, totally devoted to non-stop amazing performance.

The Knife is a swedish electronic duo formed in 1999. they run their own record company, Rabid Records. One of the group’s distinguishing characteristics is their unwillingness to cooperate with the media or the mainstream music scene. The group rarely makes public appearances, most of their promotional photos feature the members wearing masks, and they outright refused to perform live concerts. They show themselves in public wearing masks formed as bird’s beaks, similar to those used by medieval doctors. In 2005, The Knife performed their first ever live show at London.
