In 1983, Heiko Maile, Marcus Meyn, Oliver Kreyssig, and Martin Kähling, four friends from Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany, formed the band Licensed Technology.
The three young musicians set up their first studio in the basement of Heiko's parents' house, calling it "Boy's Factory".
In New York, Maile, Kreyssig and Meyn signed a contract with the US label Atlantic that same year, releasing Voices & Images and the single "That Smiling Face" for the US market in the fall of 1988.
With producer Dan Lacksman of Telex, the band recorded a new album Methods of Silence at Synsound Studio in Brussels that following year.
Now left to experiment more freely after the commercial success of their first album, Dan's recording work revealed an interesting mix of digital high-tech and out-dated studio equipment.
After follow-up single "One Fine Day", the band embarked on their first live concert tour to great financial success.
Taking a different path, this album included real drums and conventional musical instruments played by guest musicians.
Their 1993 lead single "Suspicious Love" received radio airplay and got rotation play on MTV, although it made only a minor chart placement.
Maile and Meyn signed a contract with the organizer of an opera project via mutual friends, but after investing more than a half year, visual concepts and demo recordings to the project, legal disputes between shareholders and organizers prevented any performance from taking place, and ensuing frustrations led the duo to consider leaving the music business entirely.
The duo temporarily went separate ways to collaborate on various musical projects such as 1996's various artist compilation CD Treasury to which Camouflage contributed the song "Winter".
Former band member Oliver Kreyssig, who had remained good friends with Maile and Meyn, was by this time working with Polydor and helped with the artwork design of the album and single.
In 2001, Polydor (which had bought the band's former label Metronome) released the compilation best-of album Rewind, for which Camouflage was finally allowed sufficient opportunity for input and song selection ideas.
The limited version DVD included all of the video clips from the Metronome and BMG phases of the band's career.
"The Great Commandment 2.0" was produced by the London trio Toy with drums by Christian Eigner, who had previously toured with various electronic bands, including Depeche Mode.
While there wasn't a plan for how Sensor was intended to sound, they felt it was important to emphasize classic Camouflage songwriting strengths and return to an electronic presentation.
Meanwhile, Polydor underwent restructuring in the face of a declining recording industry and once again plans were shelved for additional singles or albums.
There was a special exhibition before and after this live event where fans had the chance the view and photograph many materials, belongings, studio stuff from the beginning up to then.
