The group was founded in 1997 by Adi Amstutz, Luk Zimmermann, Mats Marti, Walo Müller and Anton Hoglhammer, and later joined by lead singer Rahel "Jaël" Krebs" (the nickname has its origins in Krebs' childhood where she couldn't pronounce the "R" in her name right).

With the release of Rumour, Lunik started as a trip-hop group and evolved (some say de-volved) to a more melodic pop outfit in the early 2000s.

Jaël became known in wider audiences after her appearance on Delerium's single "After All", taken from their 2003 album "Chimera" as well as Mich Gerber's single Your Remain in 2004.

In 2013, it was announced that the band would split up after releasing the album Encore, featuring some unreleased tracks and live versions. Jaël stated in an interview that the reason of the split was that "everything had been said (what the members wanted to express together)" and the band members "didn't have fun anymore" playing together.

Mastermind
Lunik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want me to be a fellow-believer
You want me to be part of a good majority
I can't never ever be your disciple

You want me to be a fellow-believer
You want me to be submissive, to be full of loyalty
I can't never ever agree
Mastermind set me free

I cannot find any reason to agree
With mastermind don't want to be
In mental custody

You want me to be a collaborator
You want me to be thoughtless like a trimmer has to be
But I'll never ever be your plaything

You want me to be a collaborator

To fit into the rules of a good society
But I'm sure I'll find a way to leave
