What can I say about this band. Asides from the fact that they use some of the oldest keyboard equipment available and pull it off with a very unique sound that is quite humorous but also quite enjoyable.

The two latest singles, or EP's to be more accurate, "Starfighter F-104G" and "VW Käfer & 1000 Tage", have, if anything, further increased how much i like the band. This one holds seven different tracks, two of which are older songs, "Nyntändo-Schock (letzte Stufe)" and "Monoton und minimal (KB Version)", remixed very successfully here. The title track "VW Käfer & 1000 Tage" is a perky, bleep-sweepy experience at the top of their performance, describing a journey through Europe in an old Volkswagen Käfer car. "1000 Tage" is something you simply need to hear to get a picture of. The three other new songs, "Metal Dust (Level 1-4)", "Wasserstoff (H)" and "Berühren (minimale Version)" are almost as brilliant as the two featured in the title of this fantastic EP. Welle Erdball is about insanely clever, yet simple melodies, doing one's own thing and having a blast in the process. If your into catchy synthiepop Welle is definately worth looking into as no matter the mood they will make you smile. Definately not as heavy as Starfighter with the beats, but polished to a point thats enjoyable.
