Haujobb began distributing their music in North America via Pendragon Records.
1995 saw the departure of band mate Björn, and the lineup has consisted of Daniel and Dejan ever since. After Metropolis Records acquired Pendragon, the two musicians have been able to spread their music to a larger fanbase in North America, and have remained continuously popular in the European industrial music scene.
Over the course of their subsequent releases in the 1990s, they wove increasing amounts of drum'n'bass and IDM influence into their sound. 1999's 'NinetyNine' was a sparse, downtempo collection of ambient electronic compositions. They have since reintroduced some of the more rhythmic elements back into their sound on their more recent albums, but have continued to experiment, drawing concepts from a wide variety of musical styles.
Haujobb stated that they were ending their musical career with a final concert at Amphi Festival (Cologne) 19/07/2008, although a recent blog post (dated May 22 2009) suggests that this is no longer the case and that the band is simply taking a break from music.
Myer has several other projects of his own, including Architect, Clear Vision (initially a collaboration with Thorsten Meier) as well as a number of other short-lived electronic projects. Myer, along with Claire Voyant's Victoria Lloyd, form HMB, whilst Newt is a collaboration with Andreas Meyer of Forma Tadre. Daniel Myer and Dejan Samardzic also briefly recorded as 'Dots+Dashes'.
The most recent of Myer's side-projects is Destroid, also featuring Rinaldo Ribi Bite and Sebastian Ullmann.
In early Haujobb liner notes and credits, Daniel was listed as D. Meier, however in more recent liner notes he is listed as Daniel Myer.

New World March
Haujobb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is nowhere to go anymore
I've lost my flame an hour ago
As I watch the world fade
From the Western shore
Come to me with your pleasures
Come to me with your surprise
Watch all
As I fall
Come to me with your pleasures
Come to me with your surprise
Watch all of the machines taking over
As I fall, as I fall
So lost in your eyes
There's no time for perception
There is nowhere to go anymore
Time to run for cover
The new world march is on the road
Time to run for cover
The new world march is on the road
Come to me with your pleasures
Come to me with your surprise
Watch all of the machines taking over
As I fall, as I fall
So lost in your eyes
The lyrics to Haujobb's "New World March" depict a sense of despair and hopelessness with the state of the world. The opening verse speaks to the singer's lack of direction and purpose - "There's no time for perception, there is nowhere to go anymore." The imagery of losing one's flame and watching the world fade from the Western shore creates a sense of isolation and detachment.
The chorus, "Come to me with your pleasures, come to me with your surprise, watch all as I fall" again highlights the singer's detachment, as they call out for anyone to connect with them. The repetition of "come to me" emphasizes the desire for connection and pleasure in a world that seems to be falling apart. The second verse continues this sense of despair, with the singer calling attention to the machines taking over as they fall lost in someone's eyes.

There's no time for perception
Perception is no longer relevant in this scenario
There is nowhere to go anymore
There are no more options or opportunities
I've lost my flame an hour ago
My motivation has disappeared an hour ago
As I watch the world fade
I am witnessing the decline of the world
From the Western shore
From my vantage point on the Western shore
Come to me with your pleasures
Bring me your sources of enjoyment
Come to me with your surprise
Bring me your unexpected experiences
Watch all
Observe everything
As I fall
As I lose control
Watch all of the machines taking over
Observe the machines that are becoming dominant
So lost in your eyes
I am deeply entranced by your gaze
Time to run for cover
It's time to find a place of safety
The new world march is on the road
The takeover of the new world is underway

daniel myer es un fenomeno. esta generando ebm/idm severamente fino e inteligente y esto no es nuevo pero con este ultimo material fue muy pretencioso y hay que reconoser que esta de poca madre. esperemos que un dia se anime de incluir algunos riffs huevudos
