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

The Beginning
Talla 2XLC Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are searching for a sign
Here we are searching for a sign
It's the end here today
But I will build a new beginning
Take some time, find a place
And I will start my own religion
As the day divides the night
Here we are searching for a sign

Watch the men multiply
See them ease out of the circle
Watch your friends run and hide
Help them fall back in this cycle
Here we are searching
You saw what you get
If you take what you take
Look in the eye of the test
It's all because
Now there's a feeling I get
When I look to the left
But it should never be sensed
Our searching for a sign
Can you feel it?
Things are changing
Can you see it?
Watch as the worlds colliding
Can you see it? Can you feel it?
Watch as the worlds
Collide into themselves
Collide into themselves
Another time, another place
Another time, another place
Some paradigm has shunned the race
Some paradigm has shunned the race
Searching
You saw what you get
If you take what you take
Look in the eye of the test
It's all because
Now there's a feeling I get
When I look to the left
But it should never be sensed
Our searching
You saw what you get
If you take what you take
Look in the eye of the test
It's all because
Now there's a feeling I get
When I look to the left

But it should never be sensed
Our searching for a sign

Here we are searching for a sign

Here we are searching for a sign
We are lost and feel like we need a beacon

It's the end here today
A chapter of our life is closing

But I will build a new beginning
I will find a way to start anew

Take some time, find a place
Pause and reflect on where to go next

And I will start my own religion

The passage of time separates one period from another

Watch the men multiply
Observe people increase in number or become more active

See them ease out of the circle
Notice individuals leaving or distancing themselves from a group

Witness your companions avoiding a situation

Help them fall back in this cycle
Assist those individuals to get back into the pattern of things

You saw what you get If you take what you take Look in the eye of the test It's all because
What you receive depends on what you give Confront and overcome challenges Everything happens for a reason

There's an unexplainable sensation But it's not a true sign We're still on the quest for one

Things are changing
Shifts are taking place

Can you see it?
Do you notice the transformations?
