The two met in 1991 while working for the Adam & Eve label, Maier-Bode as a producer and Gharadjedaghi as A&R. After two releases under the RMB name, they split from Adam & Eve in 1993 to join the Low Spirit label. Their 1996 single, "Spring" was a gold record in Germany, with sales over 250,000 copies, and the follow-up "Reality" reached #11 in the Media Control charts. After this, they worked with Sharam Jey and Talla 2XLC. In 1998, they founded their own label, Various Silver Recordings.
Through their association with German rave culture, they have engaged in environmental activist, joining Greenpeace in protest against the Moruroa atol nuclear testing, to which they dedicated the track "Our Trip to Mururoa", a B-side found in the single "Passport to Heaven".
In 2005 RMB split up and Maier-Bode continued to work as a solo producer/composer under the name ROLF MAIER BODE (his real name has a hyphen, Rolf Maier-Bode). In March 2009 THIRTEEN STORIES was released, this would be the first full length album with new music from Maier-Bode since Mission Horizon (2001). The album is of essentially ambient character, a natural development considering every album has had an increased amount of ambient orientation since This World is Yours (1995).
Redemption
RMB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you set me free,
Everywhere
wherever I am,
I feel Redemption.
Everytime
you set me free-hee,
wherever I am I feel Redemption.
The lyrics to RMB's song Redemption speak to the idea that the person being addressed is the sole source of the singer's feeling of freedom and redemption. The first line of each verse, "Everytime you set me free," is significant in that it suggests that the singer is not capable of freeing themselves; instead, this task is the responsibility of the person being addressed. It implies a kind of dependence on the other person, who is portrayed as having authority over the singer's emotional state. The second line, "Everywhere wherever I am," suggests that the feeling of redemption is a constant presence for the singer, following them wherever they go. This line hints that the singer feels this way not only in the presence of the person who sets them free but also when they are alone.
The refrain, "I feel Redemption," is repeated twice in each verse, creating a sense of emphasis and finality. The capitalization of the word "redemption" also adds to the significance of its meaning. The feeling of redemption seems to be central to the singer's existence, and they are grateful for the other person's role in bringing that feeling into their life.
Overall, the song's lyrics suggest that the singer is in a state of emotional turmoil and only feels free and redeemed when in the presence of the person being addressed. It's a raw, emotional declaration of dependence on someone else for emotional stability and freedom.

Everytime you set me free,
Whenever you release me from my struggles,
Everywhere wherever I am,
No matter where I am or what I am doing,
I feel Redemption.
I experience a powerful sense of forgiveness and renewal.

Ich war damals 20Jahre als RMB das erste mal den Track auf der MAYDAY (Dortmund) gespielt haben.
Die Stimmung war unglaublich. Es war laut,hart und schnell.
Es war damals ein muss die Platte zu besitzen....ist heute noch immer in meinem Besitz :-)
In der heutigen Zeit ist es fast unmöglich "das Brett" in Clubs zu spielen da
165BPM nicht dem Hippen "modernen" technoiden beeindrucken und ab
125BPM die Sauerstoffzelte aufgebaut werden müssen.
Was ich aber eher glaube: "sie verstehen die Musik einfach nicht"
Wisst ihr was: es ist mir egal....ich liebe diesen geilen Track.

Hab im Sommer 2020 ne große Gruppe 15-jähriger im Park gesehen,die alle zusammen kollektiv zu Redemption abgegangen sind. Endlich mal Kiddies,die es genauso fühlen wie wir 1994.Ist und bleibt ein unfassbarer Track.

Ich hab um 2016 herum zwei etwa 12 jährige Mädels in der Bahn gesehen, die mit dem Smartphone Redemption gehört haben. Die haben blöd geguckt als sie erfahren haben, von wann das ist und haben mich gefragt, ob ich ihnen sagen könne, wie das heißt, da sie nur eine namenlose mp3 Datei davon hätten.
