Topic: ami Marie - anyone got some information?

I wonder if you might have some more information about the German artist ami Marie?

He (the vocoder vocals are mostly female but it’s a He, right?) made this amazing electronic album Verrückt Nach Glück in 1981:

A couple of singles were also released with songs from the album and then another 7” in 1982.

But what happened then?

I cannot believe he only released those 10-12 songs of which more than half of them are excellent IMO and then quit making music.

What’s his real name and has he been involved in anything else worth checking out?

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
All of my base,
Are belong to you.

Didn't know that this record became that expensive. Bought it for 10 Euros or so. But yeah - would be interesting to know more about the guy's work.

All I know is that that record is great. If you find anything about him, let us know, would be interesting.  smile All I could find was this thread:

but, there's actually not really any information in there.
