Camouflage are one of the few German bands to have been making music successfully at home and abroad for the last couple of decades. “The Great Commandment” (1987) and “Love is a Shield” (1989) were actually worldwide hits.

After four albums, Camouflage felt it was time to experiment. This phase reached its zenith with the album “Spice Crackers” in 1995 – the most daring, most interesting work they ever released. Electropop tracks sit side by side with hypnotic, repetetive, spheric tracks. Now, 30 years later, “Spice Crackers” will now – finally - be released on vinyl for the first time!

Heiko Maile, Camouflage founder member and producer  of “Spice Crackers”, has this to say about working on the album:

»On our previous productions, we started out with just a few songs, worked on these as demos and then went to an external studio to completely re-record them with a producer. Having the idea to produce an album in our own studio, thus giving us more time to experiment, basically wanting to do the whole thing differently, was the beginning of an interminable recording session. Once we got going, surrounded by synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, microphones, a mammoth analogue mixing desk and a few pieces of recording equipment, we simply taped everything that came into our heads. Only a few of these tracks – I’m deliberately refraining from calling them songs – ended up on the original CD. It was a very formative and inspiring time for us in terms of album production.«
