Welle:Erdball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welle: Erdball (often abbreviated as W:E) is a group from Germany often credited[citation needed] with being the pioneers of bitpop. The heavy use of the Commodore 64's SID sound chip makes their sound instantly recognizable. Their sound is reminiscent of electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk.
The name literally means "Wave: Earthglobe", and in fact comes from a German radio play called "Hallo! Hier Welle Erdball!". Their logo is a Trabant logo turned around.
W:E has been a part of the demoscene and produced several musicdisks and other productions over the years. They also gave a live performance at Breakpoint 2006.
