Project Pitchfork

Hamburg-based Project Pitchfork started in 1989, primarly inspired by electronic New Wave artists such as Ultravox, The Human League, Invisible Limits, early Skinny Puppy, and the more pop-oriented era of SPK. Another influence was the New Age movement that included acts like Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis. At that date, Pitchfork had become one of the most popular music groups of the German Dark Wave culture. Between the mid- and late-1990s, the band changed their musical direction to a more trend-oriented style, which was strongly influenced by Rock, Electropop, Techno/Trance, Trip Hop, Breakbeat and Big Beat music. The result of this musical blend has been released on the albums "¡Chakra:Red!" (1997), "Eon:Eon" (1998) and the most successful work "Daimonion" (2001).
