Worth mentioning
For the album "Polychrom" acoustic signals of the cosmic background radiation were integrated into the music. As one of the first groups ever, Waveshape used a virtual light machine programmed by Jeff Minter for their performances , which projected colored effects onto a screen in sync with the music. In 1996 the album Searching for Life - The Mars Project Vol. 1 was released for the 20th anniversary of the Viking probes landing on Mars . Waveshape revised the song Abendstern , which appeared on the album cycle a year earlier, and re-released it under the title Abendstern Remix '96 .
