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
Built for Pleasure
Informatik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's the finest thing I've ever known
From up to her head down to her toes
Shape of things to come; she's a whole new breed
One of flesh and blood, but part technology
My desire engineered
More a god than machine
Silicon man-made heaven
? and built to please
The state of the art accessories
She's my special one, perfect in every way
Knows just how to have fun, and always wants to play
When my day is over and I want to leave the world behind
She makes everything alright
With her options chosen and her functions reinitialized
Watch her really come alive
She's the finest thing I've ever known
From up to her head down to her toes
Shape of things to come; she's a whole new breed
One of flesh and blood, but part technology
