Welle: Erdball is a quirky German synthpop/electropop duo known for their retro-futuristic aesthetic and playful use of vintage technology like Commodore 64 computers and analog drum machines. Formed in 1990 by Honey (Alf Behrens) and Front Man Ulli Köllner, the band combines catchy melodies with themes ranging from sci-fi nostalgia to tongue-in-cheek social commentary, delivered in German lyrics. Their name translates to "Wave: Globe," reflecting their blend of electronic beats and global pop culture references.
Over three decades, they’ve built a cult following with their energetic live shows featuring blinking retro gear and a distinctly "DIY meets mad scientist" vibe. Recent releases like *Die Menschen sterben nicht* and *Operation Zeitsturm* keep their signature mix of coldwave synths and warm humor alive, while orchestral reworks like *Engelstrompeten & Teufelsposaunen* showcase their knack for reinvention. A celebration of analog oddity and digital dreams, Welle: Erdball remains a beloved anomaly in the electronic music scene.
