As Sun Electric, Germans <a href="spotify:artist:66xtPavg2eAxglfIKmPWHP">Max Loderbauer</a> (the son of a composer) and <a href="spotify:artist:19SUVhJaElyy99TGIL9km5">Tom Thiel</a> (a studio engineer) marry dizzying Teutonic trance with chilled-out ambience. They first met at the studio where <a href="spotify:artist:19SUVhJaElyy99TGIL9km5">Thiel</a> worked, and the two later played as part of the band Fisherman's Friend. Manager <a href="spotify:artist:71GWL6ijlpTh7oGqYlMMpM">Thomas Fehlmann</a>, a frequent <a href="spotify:artist:5HAtRoEPUvGSA7ziTGB1cF">Orb</a> co-worker, encouraged the two to move to his native Berlin and form a band. The two agreed, and when their debut single "O Locco" appeared, it was picked up by <a href="spotify:artist:5HAtRoEPUvGSA7ziTGB1cF">the Orb's</a> Alex Paterson for his Wau! Mr. Modo label. The duo then signed to ZTT, who unfortunately wanted an electro-pop group. After wrangling out of the contract, Sun Electric signed to the Apollo sublabel of R&S and released their debut album, 1995's Kitchen. The following year brought a live album recorded at Berlin's Love Parade, while Via Nostra appeared in 1998. ~ John Bush, Rovi
