Tomalla started as a DJ, founding in 1984 the Technoclub at Frankfurt's Dorian Gray club. He was also at the time involved with a band called Moskwa TV. In 1988, he started a new project called Bigod 20, which would go on to be one of Europe's most successful EBM acts of the early 1990s.
In 1989, to distribute the music of Bigod 20 and other industrial acts in Europe, he founded the conglomerate Music Research and its primary subsidiary, Zoth Ommog Records, an important label in the underground electronic music scene for many years thereafter (though his management of the business lasted only the first several years after its inception). All the while, he kept a high profile as a remixer to many big-name artists in the world electronic dance scene.
Since the dissolution of Bigod 20 in 1994, Talla 2XLC has focused less on industrial music and more on techno and its subgenres, particularly epic trance. With Sony Records in 1997, he started the @Technoclub compilation series, which introduced many underground techno hits to mainstream European audiences.
There has been other projects involving Talla 2XLC: Micro Chip League, Robotiko Rejekto, Two Of China, Pluuto, Richard Cube, T2, Lovestern Galaktika Project
Carry Me
Talla 2XLC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
only time is gonna tell
holding back hopelessly
It's a place I know so well
So come with me
find your way find yourself here
It's time to see
Carry me (x3)
away
As I wait cautiously
I can read between the lines
standing here silently
unaware of what I'll find
So come with me
find your way find yourself here
It's time to see
so take a look with me into the ocean deep
Carry me (x3)
away
The lyrics of Talla 2XLC's song "Carry Me" seem to revolve around the concept of waiting patiently, cautiously, and hopelessly for something, unsure of what the future holds. The lines "only time is gonna tell" and "I can read between the lines" suggest a certain level of uncertainty that comes with waiting for something. Despite the uncertainty, the singer of the song seems to be familiar with this feeling, describing it as a "place I know so well."
However, the song takes a positive turn when the singer invites the listener to "come with me" and "find your way find yourself here." It's as if the singer is extending a hand to the listener, inviting them on a journey to explore the "ocean deep" and discover something new. The repetition of "carry me away" at the end of each verse echoes this sentiment of moving forward.
Overall, the lyrics of "Carry Me" seem to be about embracing uncertainty and taking a leap of faith into the unknown, with the hope of discovering something positive and meaningful.

For the longest time I’ve only remembered this song as a remixed version on a trance compilation cd that I got in high school. I’m 30 now so it was a WHILE ago. Today on a long drive up north in Wisconsin I said you know what.... have I not heard the original??! After listening to this I have to say it completely embodies the trance essence; pure energy, beautiful melody, complimented by amazingly fitting vocals! Talla 2xlc is a legend!!! 👍🏼
