“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.

Camouflage – The Great Commandment (John Luongo Mixes) (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1988

REQUEST

“The Great Commandment” is the debut single from German synthpop band Camouflage, taken from their debut album Voices & Images. The single had originally been recorded three years prior and was re-recorded in 1987, giving Camouflage their only number one dance hit. “The Great Commandment” stayed at the top spot for three non-consecutive weeks. The single became popular on independent stations and crossed over to the mainstream American pop charts, peaking at number fifty-nine in 1988. In their native Germany, “The Great Commandment” went to number fourteen, and reached the top ten in over twenty countries.

This US 12″ contains remixes by American dj/remixer John Luongo. I added as a bonus track the “Extended Radio Mix” which I transfered from the German 12″.
