“Kling Klang” is a song from the early beginnings of Camouflage.
At the time we were still rather “electronic” and “Kraftwerk” oriented.
The decision for this song was made during a might session developing into an ecstatic analogy and finding special-moog-system-operator Dan Lacksman to be willing victim.

Made In West Germany.

thanks again paul for highlighting some of the other releases from this band. camouflage made a name for themselves, despite some people thinking they were like depeche mode (although an influence). they had a lot of great singles. this one was one of the first i didn’t buy. if they had more remixes on it, or had a remix EP it might have done better. of course ‘love is a shield’ did much better. thanks for bringing back memories of this band, and although they didn’t have too many more singles after this one, it is good to fill in… Read more »

It seems that what happened to many people has happened to you, with the passing of time the songs remain a memory and they forget that almost all the artists continue to produce until the end of their days. Camouflage never stopped editing singles or albums, their latest work is titled “Greyscale” and came out in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEdLxfC1bYI

While the song has a very pleasant melody, a strong drum beat and pleasing vocal harmonies the instrumental in the last third of the album is very weak. If it had a strong keyboard solo it would might have stood out more. As it stands that portion of the song is forgettable and rather bland.

I like the song but I’m left wishing there was more, it had much greater potential.

I love Camouflage, unfortunately it is an underrated band and also criticized for being seen as a cheap copy of Depeche Mode. I disagree completely with their detractors since both Camouflage and Depeche Mode are children of the same father, that is Kraftwerk. The main low-toned voice is also not an invention of Depeche Mode, before them were Fad Gadget and Human League, in fact Depeche Mode began accompanying Fad Gadget. In short, for me the full discography of Camouflage is much more faithful to the original synthpop sound than the twists and turns of Depeche Mode.

It’s too bad this one didn’t chart. It’s a great track!

I’m surprised this did nothing, it sounds very Gore-vocals Depeche.

Thank you Paul for posting singles that are not necessarily big hits or that charted. It gives someone like myself further insight into the band’s not only hit status, but tracks that certainly flesh-out an artists’ discography. I really like this band and I really like their flip-sides as well. Thanks for this posting and I already can tell that I’m going to love it.
