U96 – Heaven
Biography
Hamburg, Germany (1991 – present)
The name comes from the well-known movie Das Boot about the German submarine U 96 from the Second World War. The project’s first hit Das Boot (1991) is a techno remake of the film’s title melody, which had been originally composed by Klaus Doldinger. An album of the same name was also number one in the German charts. This album paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of techno and house artists in Germany.
The experimental follow-up album ‘Replugged’ was released in 1993, and saw the group embracing the sound of 1980s electropop, ambient sounds and disco, and was likewise commercially successful despite not being necessarily original. It contained top 10 hits such as Love Sees No Colour and Night in Motion, both of which possessed strong 1980s techno-pop melodies in the vein of groups such as the Pet Shop Boys and New Order. In addition, calmer titles such as The One Russian and Without You, could be regarded as forerunners of what is now known as trip-hop.
The third album Club Bizarre was released in 1995 and indicated another change in sound. Club Bizarre mixed the techno-pop influence with fast Euro trance-like sounds throughout the majority of the album. The hit singles from the album were the piano-led Love religion (featuring vocalist Daisy Dee), the title track Club Bizarre with “classical” harmonies (which was reused later by Brooklyn Bounce) and the rave-influenced Movin’.

Das einzig gute an U96 war ja Matiz. Schade das man es immer mit Alex Christensen in Verbindung bringt. Der ist mit seinen Produktionen ja eher mit Schrott in Verbindung zu bringen. ich sag nur "Geilster Arsch der Welt" :puke: Matiz macht übrigens unter Potemkin die Musik die man eigentlich mit dem richtigen U96 in Verbindung bringt :)

Yeah, you're probably right. I see now that I own the US-version.

I have no info, but I assume the track was originally "I Wanna Be A Kennedy", but for some reason it is "I Wanna Be In Tennessee" on US release, with slightly different lyrics.

Any news about Potemkin project ?

I always thought track 6 on the Das Boot album was called "I wanna be in Tennessee" and not "I wanna be a Kennedy", at least that's what I can read on my Das Boot cd. Misprint?
