Thirty years ago, U96 released the album "Das Boot". The title track of the same name stayed at number 1 in the German single charts for months and was sold more than a million times. More hits like "Club Bizarre" or "Love Religion" followed. At the end of the 90s, U96 finally went their separate ways. In the mid-10s, Hayo Lewerenz and Ingo Hauss revived the project and released two albums, including one with ex-Kraftwerker Wolfgang Flür. Now, together with actor Claude-Oliver Rudolph, "20.000 Meilen Unter Dem Meer", based on Jules Verne's classic of the same name, is thematically going back to the roots in the underwater world. On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of "Das Boot" there is also a FullDome Planetariums show in Hamburg, which offers a mixture of virtual underwater worlds passing by on LEDs, actors (including Claude-Oliver Rudolph) and live music.

Dunham has been writing music under the name of Unter Null since 1998. The name of the project is German and means "below zero". In 2010, Erica broke her extended silence with the new aptly titled "Moving On" album that plunges into a world of torment, violence, deviance and darkness. Synthetic layers and piano lines get assaulted by powerful electro sequences ad EBM rhythms dominated by the poignant and terrifying voice of this unique and uncompromised artist… An intense introspective and quite personal album can be perceived as her own catharsis to get rid of the negative, venomous things in life - be it people or situations. Spiteful moments of complete rage intermingled with broken heart despair through which we simply end up losing faith in faith…
