Mysterious Art

 Mysterious Art was founded in 1988 by Michael Krautter (keyboards and mouse), who composed and produced the instrumental of "DAS OMEN" in September 1988. By December 1988, copies of this instrumental were played throughout the whole german club scene, and sparked the interest of DJ Mike Staab and the record label CBS. Vocals for the debut single Das Omen - Teil 1 were added and recorded at Cream Studios in Frankfurt in January 1989. The single saw its first release on May 13th 1989. The song quickly reached the top 1 position of the official German Media Control Single Charts, where it remained for straight nine weeks. The song sold over 490,000 singles in Germany alone and has since remained the most successful published work under CBS Publishing GmbH. Mysterious Art also toured as the opening band with Madonna's Blonde Ambition Tour in Germany. Their second single Karma - Omen 2 reached the top 9 of the German charts and remained there for three weeks.
