Introduction

WELLE:ERDBALL connects the aesthetic and elegance of past days with the conveniences of the present. Since 1994, the radio station WELLE:ERDBALL broadcasts 24 hours a day, with 1000 giga watts. The very first broadcast 'Frontalaufprall' established a trademark sound dominated by sounds, coming out of a C64, which remained fixed element of their style ever since. Their most recent album 'Chaos Total' already dates back to 2006, but showed the band as ironic and playful as ever. In April 2008, they've released a very special pink vinyl 'Ich bin aus Plastik' (I'm made of plastic), limited to a 1000 copies.
