In April 1997 眞呼 [Mako] (vo) (former roadie of Merry-go-round), Reo (gu) (ex- Lustair), Yukino (gu) and Ritsu (ba) (both ex- Risk), who all came from Nagoya, met and decided to start a new band. After picking kein as the name, meaning "no" in German (as in “There’s no water”), they practiced a few months without putting on a show because they were still missing a drummer. In November of that year Hibiki (ex- Orphee) joined and completed the line-up. In January of 1999, Ruka, who at that time was part of Lamiel, joined as support bassist and became a...

Subsignal was formed by Sieges Even's Markus Steffen (guitars, programming) and Arno Menses (vocals, keyboards), followed shortly after by Dreamscape's Ralf Schwager (bass).

In 1983 they recorded their first record (“Untitled”) in two days’ time and in an edition of 1000 copies which were sold very quickly. This record obtained recognition beyond the German borders and attracted the attention of the British label East West Trading Company, sublabel of Cherry Red Records that re-issued their...

Assembled in the year 1993 by guitarist/vocalist Ron Kuba, the band briefly operated under the name Grace Mansion. This atmospheric quartet, some have said a stateside Slowdive, was rounded out by brother Mike Kuba - drums/keyboards, David Carpenter - keyboards/drums, and original bassist Kip. Both the name Grace Mansion and bassist Kip left after brief tenures, and before too long, Jay Bouchard answered a ‘bass player wanted’ advertisement for the more imaginatively titled Blueshift Signal. This lineup released Seven Natural Scenes (ethereal), the autumn of 1994, and minus Mike Kuba, placed the track ‘Halo’ on the DC based Bedazzled label...
