Neuroticfish is the name of a German musical project whose styles borrow from futurepop and synthpop, as well as other types of electronic music. It currently releases music on the Dancing Ferret Discs record label.

[edit] History

Neuroticfish’s sole member is Sascha Mario Klein. Klein cites his musical inspirations as such bands as Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, and Depeche Mode, and began experimenting with music on his own in the early 90’s. After Neuroticfish was born, Klein did not make the typical efforts of a muscian to send out a demo; instead, he relied on the internet as a medium of expression for his music. Klein was eventually offered a place on a synthpop compilation called A Reflexion of Synthpop. From this point on, Neuroticfish gained popularity in the club scene, where he has made an impact ever since.

Klein gained a bit of notoriety after one of his songs contained the sample "Electronic body music is dead." It has since become somewhat of a catchphrase for Neuroticfish. In the single "The Bomb" there is an advertisement for the band's website, www.ebmisdead.com.
