Hamburg-based Project Pitchfork started in 1989, primarly inspired by electronic New Wave artists such as Ultravox, The Human League, Invisible Limits, early Skinny Puppy, and the more pop-oriented era of SPK. Another influence was the New Age movement that included acts like Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis. At that date, Pitchfork had become one of the most popular music groups of the German Dark Wave culture.
