В странах СНГ можно эта группа считается мало известной, но ее неординарность и стиль просто заставляют обратить на себя внимание. E-rotic – само название говорит о многм.... Взрыв произошел в начале 1996 года.

Композиция "Max, Don't Have Sex With Your Ex", которая стала первым хитом групы, была записана еще в1994. Это был превосходный трек в стиле евроданс, очень танцевальный и ритмичный. После грандиозного успеха за первым хитом последовал второй "Fred, Come To Bed". Главной темой этой песни была ... МЕСТЬ!. "Если Макс с Бывшей своей решил переспать, Фредди – не зевай – давай ко мне в кровать" – пела 28-ми летняя Лайян (Lyane). "Это только песня, в реальной жизни я остаюсь незамужней женщиной" –, говорит она и продолжает теребить душу многим фанам . Второй участник группы: Raz-Ma-Taz (Richard Michael Smith, 25) is a very handsome Americanblack male; бывший игрок американского футбола из Атланты, During E-rotic's best days he became a collector of... bras. Во время их турне по Германии его фанатки бросали на сцену throwing bras on the scene. Gee! That's a popularity !!!

The group usually preforms in clothes that instead of covering the body keep them rather uncovered. Both Lyane and Richard loved to dance a lot, and their dance is quite "hot" and exotic, making not only them to sweat, but also the people watching them. The private life of Richard and Lyane is quite different. While Richard usually does not dare to miss any good night party and usually is winning the title of the "King of Flirt", Лайан как правило остается в отеле. Ей не нравятся ночные приключения, она не любит алкоголь, разве что несколько глотков шампанского в исключительных случаях. Richard recently moved to his new house Chateau Navagne (built in 1292) near Maastricht in Belgium with his friend, Rod (from Fun Factory) leaving his appartment to Deon (ex PHARAO rapper) with whom he shared it.

E-rotic released their first album "Sex Affairs" in 1995 on Intercord (INDEX: BLOW UP INT 845.586). This album includes the whole story. "Max Don't Have Sex With Your Ex", "Big Max" [Just curious what this title really meant ;)], "Sex Me", "Come On Make Love To Me", "Fred Come To Bed", "Wild Love", "Sex On The Phone" etc. Practically every song E-rotic made, was a hit on the spot. E-rotic's music is sexy, but not extremely explicit. It's great DANCE music with a very sexy vocal by Lyane. Of course "making love" sounds are all over this album, but again, even most devoted bigots shouldn't mind the way it has been done. The cartoon above is the part of CD insert, indicating that story of Max, Fred and the girl continues. As a matter of fact the story may get shifted a little bit. In the end of 1995 E-rotic released a single "Willy Use A Billy ...Boy" where new "character" was introduced to the scene. .

Probably it was not enough, because in single released in February 1996 by this group "Help Me Dr. Dick", girl is seeking further help but this time a "professional" one (smile). Finally looks to me that this girl needs more men! Another character: "Fritz" who has been introduced originally in track "Fred Come To Bed" finally appears in the newest single released in April 1996: "Fritz Loves My Tits". Both "Help me Dr. Dick" and "Fritz Loves My Tits" were first songs by "NEW" E-rotic. New E-rotic is Jeanette Christensen (born October, 05, 1973 in Switzerland) and Rapper Terence d'Arby (born June, 19, 1963 in New York City). Lyane and Richard had "different opinions" than their manager and were fired. They both now are part of the group called: S.E.X. Appeal.

S.E.X. Appeal already released their first single: "Voulez Vous Coucher Avec Moi" (Will you sleep with me?). This song was first presented in the Disco Club "Fun" in M?nchen (Germany). During this very dynamic song (150 BPM) Lyane and Richard performed very sexy dance. Lyane had an opened jacket and small bra. Well... they actually tried to show that the name S.E.X. Appeal is being well represented. During this 40 mins concert they also presented a TRANCE track "Come On Baby" and remake of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex". First concerts in live of the "new"group took place in April 1996. Both Lyane and Richard wish all the best to Terence and Jeanette.

I am not sure how I will be updating this page in the future. I don't know yet the new E-rotic. I know they already gave few concerts in Germany even one in Poland. We will see, I will keep posting you about them in the future. For now page name is being changed to S.E.X. Appeal/Ex E-Rotic Page.

In the beginning of June 1996 new E-rotic released next single called: "The Power Of Sex" from the album that has been released in the end of June under the same name. The new album by New E-rotic contains songs performed by old and new team. Seems that Intercord (E-rotic's label) does not like to advertise personal changes. People who didn't know that E-rotic has been completely replaced are in vain. Anyway Power of Sex is a nice album. I think fans of E-rotic will like it a lot. Some titles are already known. Just to mention:"Willy Use A Billy ... Boy", "Help Me Dr. Dick", "Fritz Love My Tits". There are new songs. Many of them. "Ecstasy" is the track in the same way as all E-rotic tracks from the first album were made. Happy Euro-Dance, rhythmic and dancable. "Power of Sex" is down beat POP song into more balladic mood. Nice and slow to be danced "body close to body". Sorta "inviting" title."Love And Sex Are Free" is HOUSE-ish melodically reminding ACE OF BASE."Talk To Your Girl" is anemic TECHNO-HOUSE. They are trying hard but this track is rather weak. "Erotic Dreams" has an full orchestral intro building up the climate for the track (that "thing" lasts for first 1'30" minutes) followed by sexy invitation by Jeanette to play. This reminds 1-800-CALL-ME type of phone service. The body of the track is however very dancable EURO-TECHNO Dance track. In fact it is one of the most interesting and original songs from entire album. Can really make you "exicited". If you like SLEAZE and REGGAE hybrid, the track "Gimmie Good Sex" will satisfy your needs."Freedom" is sleazy HOUSE track that can easily be identified as a future anthem for love and peace. I think the message this track carries is very important. Promoting Freedom, Peace, Love and Dreams. SEX is not just a low animal instict, but rather an act of LOVE. This message is clearly sent to all the bigots who envision the sex only that way. Altogether fans of E-rotic will not be dissapointed. If you liked the first album and you got accomodated with the style, Power of Sex is for you.

Around October 1996 E-Rotic had a new single called "Gimmie A Good Sex". Terence d'Arby is no longer with the group, and his place took another American singer/dancer: Ch? Jouaner (born 1970 in Memphis,Tenessee from Haitanian/French family). For last 10 years he lived in Frankfurt (Germany). He is not only singing, but also dances and do some modelling. In the end of 1996 group was on tour in Europe, visited Finland where E-rotic is a quite popular group

NEWS - March 1997

Don't expect too much. I am not sure what is going on, but ssems that things are going akward especially for S.E.X. Appeal. Raz-Ma-Taz joined Magic Affairs as a new rapper for that group, and Lyane recently released a single "Charlene" under the name Missing Heart. If any of you knows what is really going on, please help me out!

NEWS - June/September 1997
S.E.X. Appeal

Yes, you might think the group vanished, but it didn't. S.E.X. Appeal is doing pretty well. Lyane changed again a partner. Now it is handsome Gino Gillian. This group released summer hit in REGGAE style called "Life Goes Up - Life Goes Down". Also Lyane released a solo single "Moonlight Shadow" again under the name Missing Heart.
E-Rotic

Also this group didn't rest. Finally in June '97 they have released their third album called Sexual Madness. So what is the album. In my opinion pretty good. It is not exactly the same sound you remember from Power of Sex nor from Sex Affairs by original E-Rotic. The group was experimenting introducing PROGRESSIVE/DREAM sound that is quite obvious in the title "Give Me Delight". Nice TECHNO/ENERGY production is represented for instance by the track "Don't Say We're Through". This particular one reminds me a bit of compositions by Dieter Bohlen, however this track has more PROGRESSIVE touch than you could expect from Dieter. If you like POP, REGGAE and SLEAZY styles all in one track, you should listen "All I Desire". You will be pretty much satisfied. In quite similar style but a bit more HOUSE-ish is another one called: "I Want You". I believe you want to know if there is any good EUROENERGY sound. The good news is that there in fact is at least one track in that genre. "Gotta Get It Groovin'" is a powerful dance track reminding old good E-rotic and other euroenergy releases back from 1995. Real DITTO! for dance floor. Quite dancable is also "Shenandoah", however is not as powerful as the previously mentioned one. "Send Me Message Of Love" is another example of EUROENERGY/TECHNO sound. Good synths and keyboard arrangements with good vocals make this track also a powerful option for dance floor. All together it is very nice and good release. All fans of this group should be not only satisfied but actually delighted. This is also good choice for eurodance hunters.

Just in the end of August '97 the group released a new single that did not appear on their recent album with their version of ABBA megahit: "The Winner Takes It All".

The 1997 year was also the year where E-rotic is changing it's own image with fascinating, modified music concept. All this happened with the newest album (fourth in their collection) called Thank You For The Music". If you recongnize the title you know what does it means: E-ROTIC GOES ABBA. This album is E-rotic's tribute to unforgetable now classic Swedish Pop group ABBA. This is beatifully crafted album and a real treat for all of you who love ABBA. Jeanette's voice is great as usually.

On April 1998 group released their next album (the fifth in their collection). This album targeted mostly toward Japanese crowd has subtitle The Best Of... suggesting sort of summary of previous releases by this group. In fact it is true. 12 titles on this album already appeared on all 4 previous recordings. Also there is a title The Horniest Single In The World that actually is almost 4 minute megamix of 5 of their biggest hits. This album is produced by David Brandes and Felix Gauder assuring that the music on this CD is pure EURODANCE. I would mislead you if I leave you with the feelings that all songs featured in this album have been previously published. This album feature two brand new titles: Baby Please Me and In The Dark Of The Night both written by David Brandes and John O'Flynn. The first of them is a typical E-rotic song with mild sexual content (as usually for this group), recorded in style we well know this group from. The second is slower breath-taking eurodance song. Great synths and beat so close to releases by Missing Heart. Truly a great song! I feature three samplers from this album: the first song from this album (also as Mini SEXMix on Main Page) as well as the two last brand new tracks. If you don't know this group at all the album is a MUST, if you are familiar with them this will complete your collection.

NEWS - March 1999
E-Rotic

On March 3rd, 1999 the group released their latest album (the sixth in their collection). This brand new album: "Kiss Me" was released by Intercord ... Japan! Yes! Japan not Germany! I am not sure if there are plans of releasing a German edition yet, but I am sure if you wil lstart bombarding parental Intercord in Germany, the album might get released. I am sure fans of this group were waiting for this one. It was almost a hopeless wish, since group was recording mostly in Eurodance/EuroEnergy genre. A style as you all know is fading away from European dance floor. Luckily enough Far East still loves this style and is powerful enough to keep the genre alive. Most of you probably does not need my recoomendation. Entire album is written and produced by BROS (David Brandes, John O'Flynn and of course Felix J. Gauder) unquestionable geniuses of eurodance. If you know style of E-ROTIC you know what to expect. Great dance with sexual innuendos! I am presenting you with six tracks fro mthis album in mini megamix I quickly made. It should hwlp you to judge the quality of the album and great dance music from eurodance. If you missed this style, here you have! Gift from heaven! :) This album is not as strong as previously released by this group, yet good enough to chase for it!
