Alexander Buck and Non Eric of MusoTalk visited Heiko Maile in his
Berlin Studio for a video interview. Among other things Heiko shows how he is working with the audio tracks for the new Camouflage Live DVD and he describes his work process in the studio. The Video Podcast is available in two parts; both are now online and can be found at www.musotalk.de (This video interview is conducted in German).

Due to schedule conflicts, Oliver Kreyssig will unfortunately not be
able to participate in the concerts in South and Central America. As a result Marcus and Heiko have decided to establish an alternative
approach for performances by the band. This alternative approach will be known as an "E-Set" with Marcus (vocals), Heiko (synthesizer & computer) and Volker Hinkel (guitar). In order to avoid confusion with the presenters of the various events, specific graphics have been prepared to provide consistent advertising for the events - "an electronic evening with marcus meyn // heiko maile".
Since there will not be live drums performed during these concerts, the arrangements will be considerably more electronic. The set list will also be revised and will include some surprises. It is unclear at this time whether the "E-Set" will also be presented in other countries, but this remains a possibility.

It has been a while now since we last posted anything here, but we too have needed a little time for ourselves. How do things stand? Micha Schröck has finished his studies while Heiko followed the Way of St. James. Meanwhile Marcus has been making very good progress with his first solo album and Oli is looking forward to an exciting time - he will be a father for the second time!
You can see that a few things have been happening. But for you it may indeed be much more interesting to note the fact that we are working full speed ahead to finish the DVD. Unfortunately this is requiring much more time than we had anticipated. For this reason we cannot be sure just when it will be released.
The long wait will indeed be rewarded - in addition to the recording of the "Relocated Tour" the DVD will feature many extras such as a one-hour special about our Russia Tour 2006. Parallel to all of this we have been working with Universal Music on an album of rare tracks that is to be titled "Archives #1" and which will with surety be released this year - this is something to be excited about!
Live performances this year are limited partly due to Oli's news. This has led us to the idea of an "electronic set" which Heiko and Marcus have developed and which makes it feasible to play a few concerts outside of Germany...
Things are moving along - even when they appear to be moving slowly. It is exciting and we will let you know of new developments!

Camouflage were quite overwhelmed at the enormous response and the quality of the remixes that were submitted for the competition. More than 400 entries were carefully evaluated and rated. Heiko, Marcus and Oli wish to thank everyone who participated for their creative efforts. At www.digitalmusician.net you will find the names of the winners, and the best remixes are available for listening with commentary from the band.

At 8:15pm (UTC/GMT) on Monday, January 29, 2007 the German TV broadcaster "Kabel Eins" will air the German cult music program "Formel Eins" in a special format - with top acts from the 80s live on stage!

Some of the bands/artists that will be performing include OMD (with their original lineup) performing "Dreaming", Marc Almond performing "Tainted Love", Icehouse with their hit "Hey Little Girl" and more!
Camouflage will perform "Love is a Shield" and "Motif Sky", the first
single from the current album! Further information about Formel Eins is available at www.kabeleins.de (german language only).

Camouflage are holding a contest together with digitalmusician.net to remix their song "Suspicious Love". There are loads of prizes for the best remixes to be won including the chance to get your remix released by Camouflage, a Focusrite Liquid Mix (mix processor), a Roland SH-201 (synthesizer), Propellerheads Reason, FXpansion GURU and 10 digitalmusician.net Pro Accounts. All remixes have to be sent by the latest 31st January 2007. The files can be downloaded at: www.digitalmusician.net

The limited edition 2-Track Single CD of "Something Wrong" that was exclusively available during the German Relocated Tour 2006 is now available in Germany for download from Itunes Music Store and from finetunes.net. "Something Wrong" with it's powerful refrain appears in a special edited form - several of the slower elements of the song have been edited so that the track comes across even more powerfully as the on the album. The second track is an exclusive non-album track titled "Your Own World". This is a more subtle and melancholy sounding track which demonstrates the broad range of Marcus' vocal talent which is such a trademark of Camouflage's music.
U P D A T E : At www.finetunes.net the "Something Wrong" 2-Track download is also available to all other countries without USA and Canada.

The end leg of the "Relocated Tour 2006" will begin on Friday, December 8th and will include concert performances in Russia and Belarus.
