After incredibly fruitful first year Silent Circle slowed down their hit conveyer gradually to everybody's regret. Bernd Dietrich and Engelbert Simons wrote two more songs for them in 1987. They were released already on Teldec singles, but new contract resulted in no albums. 1988 brought no new songs. The hope for return of Silent Circle appeared in the next year when two more singles with four new songs were published by Coconut. Among them was one of my personal favourites - "I Am Your Believer" (yes, you know this one from Bad Boys Blue album "Game Of Love")! I like Martin's version so much, but looks like BBB won the race and kept on releasing one album after another while "What A Shame" remained the last song by Silent Circle during the next four years...
The long awaited comeback took place in May of 1993 when young recording company from Dresden Fun Music Promotion re-released on CD four versions of their most succesful hit "Touch In The Night", 8 years after this song had entered various charts for several months. It was followed by Hit-Mix 93 (Touch In The Night / Stop The Rain In The Night / Moonlight Affair / Touch In The Night) which was performed in TV program "Stop & Go". "Best of Silent Circle - Volume II" also appeared in May, its contents was almost identical to "No.1" - there were Hit-Mix and instrumental version of "Hide Away" added plus four songs were given in alternative versions.
Shortly after that Axel and Martin composed the first new Silent Circle song in five years - "2night". Four remixes were published on CD-single, and one more version appeared on the next album "Back!" It had definitely much different sound compared to "No.1". "Back!" forwarned the future trends of Eurodance music - it had in 1994 lots of those rhythms we found later on DJ Bobo albums which is no wonder 'cause many of Bobo's songs are written by Axel Breitung too.
Since 1994 we did not see more than one CD-single release every year with other songs from the last album - "Every Move, Every Touch" (original in 1994 and remixed in 1995) and (promotional only) "Egyptian Eyes" with "Take The Chance" and "Desire" in 1996. But we should look into the future with optimism - I have reasons to expect more news coming soon, and I advise you to check out this page and AW Music News periodically to see what happens. The Silent Circle history has not finished yet, and new chapters are to be written!
