"All For One"
"All For One"
The German Techno & Electro Duo afo | all for one founded in spring '91 consists of Harald Schoger and Veit Wiehler.
Knowing each other since years and playing together in several bands the both decided to start a project whose aim is to connect expressive lyrics and samples with powerful TECHNO/EBM.
As the first result of this cooperation the two track tape "Violence" / "The Ship" was released in April '91. "Violence" got good response and even went into some techno-club charts.
Encouraged by this surprising success they took the second step with the release of the 7" single "Promises" / "Have Sex Not Dope" on their new founded !NTELLIGENT label to reach a larger number of listeners inside Europe.
In January ‘93 !NTELLIGENT released ALL FOR ONE’s first full-length cd “machine-lust” including their first Electro/EBM club hits (Strangers / Maschinenlust).
After two years of being involved in several national and international projects (see discography below) AFO were back in ‘95! Having dealt with contemporary subjects in “machine-lust” AFO’s second album “Technopolis” focuses on the threat of the futures technocracy.
Separating themselves from the commercial techno music AFO kept the faith to their own unique style. Again Veit Wiehler and Harald Schoger were proving that this could be done with danceable and powerful electronic music.
Since then, Harald and Veit spent their time on producing other artists like “Das Kombinat”, “L’Image Synthétique” or “Dark Distant Spaces” - but ALL FOR ONE are far from being dead!
