Nightingales.Over 10,000 copies were sold, and Wolfsheim released
another maxi called Its Not Too Late.Wolfsheim's debut album, No Happy View, was released in 1992.Several magazines heralded
Wolfsheim as band of the year, as they appeared at their first Zillo
Festival.CDs, Now I Fall
and Thunderheart, were released prior to their second album.More time was taken in the
recording of it, and classical influences were incorporated.Wolfsheim
played the Strange Ways Festival that year as well.CD was released in 1994 and stayed on the Media Control
Charts for five weeks.The limited edition of 55578 was produced as 55,578 copies containing a
bonus live CD recorded from the Strange Ways Festival in 1994.CD, Closer
Still, was released later that year in November.Wolfsheim worked with producer Jose Alvarez to produce their third
album, Dreaming Apes, in February 1996, containing two tracks completely

October, and the second single, Its Hurting for the First Time, around
Christmas.Finally in February 1999, Wolfsheim released their fifth
album, Spectators.In 2001, Metropolis Records brought Wolfsheim to American ears, by
releasing the Spectators album domestically.Comparable to Depeche Mode's Violator,
Spectators grabs hold of you and leads you down iridescent halls
of radiance conveying messages of love, loss, and relationships while reminding
you nothing is perfect and we are only human.Casting Shadows is an
aural delight thanks to the excellent production from Axel Breitung
(Echo award winning Best National Producer 2001), Peter Heppner's
unmistakable vocals, and Marcus Reinhardt's innovative musical sequences.The soundtrack to a lifetime, Wolfsheim's Casting Shadows will capture
the hearts of generations to come.Don't Love You Anymore
