IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (Remastered 2017)

ER WAR 
PLÖTZLICH DA
PLÖTZLICH DA
ER KAM
AUS DEM ALL
AUS DEM ALL
UND ER WAR
AUS METALL 
AUS METALL
SEINE AUGEN
GLÜHTEN ROT
GLÜHTEN ROT
UN ER BRACHTE
DEN TOD
DEN TOD
UND DIE MENSCHEN
HATTEN ANGST
HATTEN ANGST
DENN ER WAR
GNADENLOS
GNADENLOS
JA ER WAR
PLÖTZLICH DA
UND ER KAM
AUS DEM ALL
DOCH DIE ERDE
WAR NICHT SEIN FALL
UND ER FLOG
ZURÜCK INS ALL
ZURÜCK INS ALL

It Came From Outer Space

WHAT HAPPENS? (Remastered 2017)

TIME AND TIME AGAIN
I SAID I DON’T CARE
WELL, MAYBE NOT THAT TIME
BUT I’LL SURVIVE ANYHOW

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHERE AM I GOING TO?

I WON’T REGARD THE NAMES AND PLACES
OF THIS SAD OCCASION
BUT THAT’S NOT CONGELATION
HERE AND NOW

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW? 
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHERE AM I GOING TO?

I DON’T EXPECT MY LOVE AFFAIRS
SO LAST, SO LONG
NEVER FOOL MYSELF THAT MY DREAMS 
WILL COME TRUE

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHERE AM I GOING TO?

BEING USED TO TROUBLE
I ANTICIPATE IT
SO ANYONE CAN HATE IT
AND THEY DO

SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
SO WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
WHERE AM I GOING TO?

What Happens?

Mann-Frau (Remastered 2017)

Du bist eine Frau
Du bist in Bewegung
Du bist eine Frau
In der Frauenbewegung

Ich bin ein Mann
Ich spür' keine Regung
Ich bin ein Mann 
Ein Mann ohne Erregung

SPOCK YOUR EARS (Remastered 2017)

AND NOW: SPOCK YOUR EARS:
WHEN THE HARE CHASES
IN NORTH ICE IS BURNING
CAUSE THE MUTE SAYS
WHAT NOBODY KNOWS
WHEN THE HERO FLIES
IN BRIGHT LIGHT NIGHT
BECOMES RED LIGHT
CAUSE NOTHING HAPPENS
THEN GROWS THE CAR
GETS DRY IN RIVER
WATER DRIVES TO MOUNTAIN
CAUSE GOD WILL DIE
CAUSE GOD WILL DIE
GOD WILL DIE...

Spock Your Ears

MY EVIL SELF (Remastered 2017)

WHEN WILL YOU FAKE THE TRUTH
THAT THING OUT THERE IS YOU
YOUR EVIL SELF IS AT THAT DOOR
AND YOU HAVE NO POWER TO STOP IT

STOP! – I DENY YOU 
STOP! – I GIVE YOU UP

YOU SEND YOUR SECRET ID
OUT TO KILL THEM
WITHOUT REALIZING IT
MAYBE IN YOUR DREAMS

STOP! – I DENY YOU 
STOP! – I GIVE YOU UP

THE WAY SHE IS (Remastered 2017)

THE WAY SHE MOVES HER HANDS
GIVIN’ SIGNALS LIKE A MUTE
THE WAY SHE CLOSES HER EYES
OH BOY, SHE’S SO CUTE
THE WAY SHE MOVES HER LEGS
LIKE AN OCTOPUSSES ARMS

THAT’S THE WAY SHE IS
I’M A PRISONER OF HER CHARMS

THE WAY SHE SHOOK HER HEAD
AND LET ME WAIT IN VAIN
THE WAY SHE SAID GOOD-BYE
LIKE A BULLET THROUGH MY BRAIN
THE WAY SHE LEFT THE ROOM
CLOSED MY HEART AND CLOSED THE DOOR

THAT’S THE WAY SHE IS
A GIRL A LADY AND A WHORE

THE WAY SHE SAYS HELLO
MAKES ME FORGET WHAT WAS
THE WAY SHE ASKS FOR LOVE
NEEDS NO RESPONSE OF COURSE
THE WAY SHE MAKES ME FEEL
I FEEL LIKE KIND A GOD

THAT’S THE WAY SHE IS
I’M A PRISONER OF HER CHARMS

The Way She Is

BURIAL (Remastered 2017)

YOU’RE STANDIN’ STILL
WEARING THAT FROZEN LOOK
STILL STANDING STILL
NEVER NOTICE TIME HAS PASSED
STILL NOTHING MOVED
THE WAVES HAVE TURNED TO ICE
STILL STANDIN’ STILL
WAITING FOR YESTERDAY

PRAY YOUR PRAYER
LIGHT ONE CANDLE
PREPARE YOUR BURIAL

IT’S QUITE A PERFECT SCENE
DRESSED LIKE FIGHTERS
LIVING LIKE A SHEPHERD
AND WAITING FOR THE WOLF
THE CEREMONIAL’S OVER
LEFT AN EMPTY STAGE
NO LIVE NO FIGHT NO FRIGHT
SO, WHAT’S ON TV TONITE?

Burial

Die Mysteriösen was a German band formed in the fall of 1981 by Michael M., Ingrid K. and Henry Spencer. The unique sound of DIE MYSTERIÖSEN was created by using electronic instruments (Henry) combined with guitar / bass (Michael) and vocals (Ingrid / Henry / Michael). On many tracks tape-loops with sounds of different origins were used as an early form of sampling. Lyrics came from all three members and were in German or English. The recordings were made in the living room of Henry Spencer by using a tape-machine and overdubs, later adding a four-channel mixer. In the spring of 1982, the first C-30 cassette DER BLUTIGE ERNST was released. The tape received mostly positive reviews in the regional and national press and a few copies were even sold to the United States. Excerpts from some reviews: "A delight ... Simple but brilliant minimal music ... true dilettants" (City Magazine 05/82), "The tape has a lot going for it ... " (Meilenstein #3), "Above-average Synth Tape ... varied .. recommended" (Spex 06 /82). With this tape the band became well known in the local scene and got the offer to play live at a gala event at the "Kunstakademie" (Academy of Fine Arts / 25. 06. 1982). Soon thereafter, on 17. 07. 1982, DIE MYSTERIÖSEN played their second live gig, together with "Torpedo", at the local club "Kronenburg". The live sound was mixed by Klaus Jankuhn, later co-founder of "Low-Spirit Records". The gig was recorded and a limited C-45 cassette entitled "LIVE IN DER KRONENBURG" was released. Shortly thereafter, some tracks by the trio were heard on the cassette-zine "Band-It 8" and the sampler "Ein wahnsinniger Meilenstein". In early 1983, the third tape of DIE MYSTERIÖSEN entitled "ALARM IM WELTALL"was released. This tape also received good reviews and was quite successful. The interests of the band members, however, had developed in very different directions over the course of cooperation, and so, in 1984, DIE MYSTERIÖSEN became even more mysterious by just fading away...

In 2017 DIE MYSTERIÖSEN signed a record contract with "Contort Yourself Records" of Murray Cy (Glasgow).  A 12" vinyl LP with 12 tracks was to be released in 2018 with the proposed title "Die Mysteriösen - Leben in der Stadt 1982-1984".  It was to be distributed by "Juno Media LTD".  Although the production of the record was in its final stage, due to some obstacles the record was never released.
Only one track "Spürhund" was released here:
