Da5id Din and Matthew Crofoot, two Boston studio owners, decided to become Informatik in 1993 after recognizing common musical tastes.
The duo, who had previously worked separately as Acme Disco Machine and Struktur, began recording and released their debut album Direct Memory Access on Sinless Records. The second volume of the album was released two years later. ~ John Bush
At Your Command
Informatik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bodies in motion tend towards stimulation
It's my turn to feel a little restricted
To be submissive as the pleasure's inflicted
Get what's coming to me, and maybe duly
I'll know what it's like to be the other truly
Now I'm at your command
Praying, yearning, longing, burning
Craving, needing, begging, pleading
Doing everything within your power
Make me lose myself and all track of the hour
Now I'm at your command
I'm at your command
Your command
Your command
Now I'm at your command
Your command
Your command
Your command
Now I'm at your command
