In 1990, the group was contacted by Sire Records (a division of Warner Bros.) and shortly after the infamous single The Bog was released in the United States. He also started yet another new record label called Music Research (the mothership of the ever impressive Zoth Ommog Records). One of the group's founding members, Talla 2XLC, began recording music in the mid 1980's in a German synthpop band known as "Moskwa TV." He soon joined forces with another electronic musician by the name of Jallokin, and the two began releasing material under the name "Pluuto." At about the same time, Talla 2XLC started Technodrome (TDI) Records, where he was also involved in the production of a number of other electronic projects, including "Robotiko Rejekto", "Tribantura" and "Microchip League." It was also at that time that the two recorded a new song, "Body to Body." This would become the first Bigod 20 single, on Talla's own label in 1988. In 1994, their second full-length, Supercute, was released along with the single "One".
In 1992, Bigod 20's first album Steel Works! was released by Sire Records. The single It's Up To You followed soon afterward. The album spawned the single On the Run, which contained the EBM-influenced cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer". In 1991 Talla and Jallokin joined up with musician Thomas Franzmann (aka Zip Campisi) and released their first full-length album Steel Works!. "The Bog" title track even featured the guest vocal work of Front 242 lead man Jean-Luc De Meyer. The single featured a strong Front 242 influence. In 1990, Bigod 20 was signed to Sire Records and released the hit single The Bog, which became a dancefloor favorite around the world. In 1988, the duo released the single Body to Body under the name "Bigod 20" as part of Talla's newly founded Music Research label, which eventually evolved into Zoth Ommog Records. At the time, Talla was also involved in the production of several other projects such as Robotiko Rejekto, Tribantura, and Microchip League. In the late 1980s, Talla and Jallokin formed the band Pluuto under Talla's own Technodrome Records (TDI Records) label. Their most famous track is The Bog with guest vocals of Jean-Luc DeMeyer (Front 242, C-Tec).īigod 20 was a German electro-industrial band which was formed in 1988 by music producers Andreas Tomalla (aka Talla 2XLC and formerly of the band Moskwa TV) and Markus Nikolai (aka Jallokin).
