There are two acts called Heligoland:
1) Tim Friese-Greene is an English musician and producer. Since 1997, he has released solo records under the name ‘Heligoland’. He produced, co-wrote, and performed on four of Talk Talk’s critically-acclaimed albums between 1984 and 1991, including Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. He was only an occasional player on Talk Talk’s live tours, and did not wish to appear in the band’s promotional photo sessions or music videos.
2) Formed in 1999, Heligoland are a five-piece band originally from Melbourne, Australia now living in Paris, France that plays sparse, dreamy and evocative music. Heligoland’s songs and sound have been compared to the atmospheric textures and soaring female vocals of the Cocteau Twins, the spartan soulfulness of Low and the wistful melancholy of Mojave 3.

Finally got my copy of All Your Ships Are White. Couldn't believe it when I got the parcel and had a handwritten note from Karen, thanking me for buying the album! If only more bands cared so much about their fans. Thanks for making my day, Heligoland!

It'd be funny if Friese-Green produced the Aussies' next album, or that they collaborated on a joint Heligoland record!

This kind of situation really calls for a split naming schema somehow (lord knows how) . Both acts are great, but this is just confusing.

Agreed. Finally got around to checking out the UK Heligoland, and (with more than a touch of bias...), sorry Mr Friese-Greene, there's no comparison.
