Systems in Blue is a German pop
music band consisting of the studio musicians, arrangers and producers Rolf
Köhler, Michael Scholz and Detlef Wiedecke.
Genre-wise they are classified under euro
disco.
They started as back vocalists in late 70s working for various artists:
Blonker, Uriah
Heep, Blind
Guardian, Helloween, Grave
Digger, Gamma Ray, Iron
Savior, Savage
Circus, Tokyo, Mephistopheles, Kin Ping Meh (featuring Geff Harrison) and
many others. But they are mostly known for their collaboration with Modern
Talking in 1984-87 and 1998-2000 and Blue
System in 1987-1997.
In 2001 the musicians filled a lawsuit against BMG
because they felt that they did not get compensated fairly for their work on Dieter
Bohlen productions, such as Modern Talking, Blue System, C.C.Catch,
Nino
de Angelo, Chris
Norman, Thomas
Forstner and other. (The lawsuit was settled out of court). BMG Berlin
confirmed that the studio musicians who filled the lawsuit contributed to the
chorus of most Blue System and Modern Talking songs (besides America,
Victory,
and Universe) and all voices were then mixed together and multiplied
electronically to get the typical sound for the high-pitched voices.
In 2003 together with songwriter / producer Thomas Widrat they founded a
project Systems In Blue. The first single Magic Mystery released on March
22, 2004 got into TOP-100 of Amazon and climbed up to 12 at the Maxi-Charts. In
the "European Dance Charts" the single reached No 1. After changing
the label and two more singles they released their first album Point Of No
Return on September 20, 2005.
The second album Out Of The Blue was published in April 2008.
