The founding members are Andy Krüger (vocals/composition), Edgar Slatnow (synthesizer/lyrics), and Kay Hildebrandt (synthesizer/production). The band initially called themselves The Vermin, however, as their lyrics were exclusively in German, they decided to change their name to Melotron for their debut album.

In terms of production, Melotron focuses on longevity. Since their debut album Mörderwerk, they have worked with successful indie and techno producer Olaf Wollschläger at the Weltherren-Studios/Buir (Kerpen). In 2006, the band decided to explore new avenues in this area and also worked with successful alternative producer Dirk Riegner.

On February 9th, 2007, Melotron competed in the Bundesvision Song Contest for their state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern with their song "Das Herz."

Melotron has taken part in various significant electronic and industrial festivals, including the Wave Gotik Treffen festival in 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2012, as well as the M'era Luna Festival in 2001, 2003, and 2005.

The band has released several albums over the years, starting with "Mörderwerk" in 1999 followed by "Fortschritt" in 2000. Two years later, they released "Weltfrieden" in 2002, followed by "Sternenstaub" in 2003. "Cliché" was released in 2005, and "Propaganda" came out two years later in 2007. In 2014, the band released "Werkschau," and their most recent album to date is "Für Alle" which was released in 2018.

Kennst du den Unterschied
Zwischen null und eins
Weißt du, woran es liegt
Ob ja oder nein
Wir treffen die Entscheidung

Digital

Will ich dich heute sehen
Oder lieber nicht
Es mag am Wetter liegen
Oder am Gesicht
Wir führen die Berechnung

Digital

Bin ich jetzt nett zu dir
Oder bin ich es nicht
Kommst du noch mit zu mir
Oder nicht

Besteht die Möglichkeit
Nutz die Gelegenheit
Die Wege deiner Wahl

Ich kann kaum noch stehen
Hab ich schon so viel
Doch du willst nicht gehen
Was für ein Spiel
Ich folge meiner Planung

Digital

Vielleicht wirst du noch schöner
Nur minimal

Wenn sich der Schleier hebt
Am Tag danach
Kann ich mich nicht erinnern
Was noch geschah

Besteht die Möglichkeit
Nutz die Gelegenheit

Overall Meaning

In the song "Digital" by Melotron, the lyrics speak to the idea of living in a digital age where decisions are based on binary code (zeros and ones). The singer asks if the listener knows the difference between the two and how we can make decisions based on them. Throughout the song, the singer talks about making choices in a more calculated manner, whether it's to see someone or not, or whether they are being nice or not. The overall message of the song suggests that in this digital age, we may be losing touch with the emotional aspect of decision-making and relationships, reducing everything to a calculation.

The chorus reinforces this idea, stating that the ways we choose to live our lives are digital, meaning they are based on a set of predetermined options rather than unpredictable and spontaneous choices. The singer notes that the opportunity exists to make choices that are not digital, but they are optional. The final lines of the song repeat the lyrics "digi digi digital," emphasizing the digital nature of the world we live in and its pervasive influence on us.

Overall, the song "Digital" seems to be an examination of the ways in which technology and digital tools are changing the ways we make decisions and interact with one another. It suggests that we should be aware of the influence these tools have on us and strive to make more authentic and meaningful choices that go beyond the binary options laid out before us.
