Having
sounded out the conventions and possibilities of the electro
pop department thoroughly with their three independent
albums "World Without End" (1994), "Unversed In Love" (1995)
and "Fairyland" (1996), Markus, Steffen and Thomas
successfully transferred to the major league.

the band |
Thomas and Steffen found a new label in Drakkar, who allowed
them to work more independently, yet comfortably thanks to
their cooperation with a major imprint. 2001 saw the arrival
of their next album, plainly entitled "Two", the first
delicious fruit produced by the duo. It soon became apparent
that DE/VISION had returned to their good old virtues of
complex songwriting without having lost their hunger for new
sounds. Now Steffen and Thomas are presenting "Devolution",
a consistent
development of their familiar direction ...

Since
they got together in July 1988, DE/VISION can look back on a
remarkable career and a similarly remarkable musical
development.
Early on, the band that originally revelled in the synth pop
genre got their chance to support top-class acts like
Psyche, Die Krupps and Camouflage and worked with producers
like Axel Henninger and José Alvarez-Brill.
Their celebrated 1998 release, "Monosex", much more
experimental and multi-layered with its combination of
string and guitar sounds, came out on WEA.
 The following year, however, DE/VISION may have gone a
little too far in their experimentalism with "Void". Not
only were the fans in two minds about the group's
development, there were also differences within the trio
about their further line of approach. While
vocalist/composer Steffen and songwriter Thomas soon agreed
on the group's future direction, Markus left the fold to
work on his own musical ambitions henceforth.
