1990


In 1980, Thomas "TJ" Janak started writing songs as a 13yrs. old boy in his native Germany. After being in different bands he went solo in 1987 with "Travel Direction" which he renamed DIGITAL DREAMS in 1988.

Initially Digital Dreams wrote songs as soundtracks for future computergames but in 1990 released a 4-track demo album titled: "Digital Dreams - German Groove".

The album manages to reach #16 @ the DRMV charts in Germany and the song "3002" was taken as a soundtrack for the Commodore(TM) C 64 game: "Teldor IV - Auf der Suche nach dem Irgendwas" as well as for an independent short film titled: "Auf Sie haben wir gerade noch gewartet".

The record label HDN released the song "Goucho", also taken from the German Groove on a sampler titled: "Blowing a Kiss" in 5 countries.

The woman on the cover was ThomasĀ“ first wife, who only appeared on one song on the album.
