The term “Nacht und Nebel” derives from the policy Hitler issued in 1941, where he allowed prisoners from the resistance in occupied territory to “vanish without a trace, and no information was given as to their whereabouts or their fate.”

Suspected underground agents and others would vanish therefore into the “night and fog”.

Dark name for a band and that’s todays history lesson over.

The band of the same name were a Belgian synth-pop/electro/new wave band of the 1980s founded by Patrick Nebel along with members Albano Bentano and Fil Yzerdraad.

In 1984 they had success with “Beats of Love” though after releasing two more albums they never achieved quite the same success. In 1986 founding member Patrick died from a fatal heart disease which brought the end of the group.

It’s a slow burner with awesome percussion and a haunting vocal. Extended remix duties taken care of by John Tilly.
