Well known for the hit  "Misery", "The Sundial" and moodier titles such as "Twilight" , "The Dark Pool", "Haunted" or "Salvation Stranger" that get under your skin. Perhaps the first Dark Wave Electronic album before there was a term to describe it!
1990 TALES FROM THE DARKSIDE

This is a collection of early recordings from 1982-1987.  Featuring  the "harder"  industrial side of Psyche represented here by the likes of "The Crawler",
"Screamin' Machine", "Another Billion Eyes", and "Waiting For The Stranger" (no one will ever top that monster).
1991 DAYDREAM AVENUE

A modern techno-pop album with the massive hit melody of "Angel Lies Sleeping" , and the beautifully arranged and performed "Destiny". Other interesting tracks include "Ghost" and especially the extra 20 minute bonus of Stephen Huss' gorgeous trance-like instumentals such as "Belial" and "Eternal City".
An unchallenged collection of future pop!
1993 69 MINUTES OF HISTORY

A Best of CD with highlights of Psyche's material spanning from 1987 to 1991 including the extended mixes  of "Uncivilized", "Prisoner To Desire" and "Eternal"! Also the previously unreleased "Lead Me Astray".
1994 INTIMACY

Psyche in a new age. 13 private chamber pieces reflecting life's absurdities with weird, but melodic hooklines including favourites such as "Freaks", "Peepshow", "Blind", "The Cathedral",  "Love Is A Winter" , and the Elektric Music collaboration "Heaven In Pain". The booklet includes fascinating illustrations from Fabian Fröhlich (known for John Sinclair collections and other fantasy book cover art.)

Also here are "The Brain Collapses", "Insatiable" and "The Sundial" performed live, plus the previously unavailable Huss brothers' composition "Until The Shadows" giving a complete overview of Psyche's multifacetted career. A strange brew, but a valuable collection.
1996 STRANGE ROMANCE

Psyche´s seventh official album. Here one finds such atmospheric titles as "Trouble In Mind" and "Remember", as well as the melancholy dance tracks "Tears", "Silence Was A Melody", and "Lonely One". Also included are three covertunes; the acoustically performed "Guilt" from Marianne Faithfull, the achingly romantic arrangement of Annie Lennox's "Stay By Me", and not to forget the phenomenally successful version of "Goodbye Horses"  originally performed by Q Lazzarus.
A true collection of "strangely-romantic" songs. 
1998 LOVE AMONG THE RUINED

A return to the darker side of the psyche featuring the dance hits "Murder In Your Love" and "Land Of  Broken Promises", the experimental pop of "Exhale" and  "Drowning Pool" ,  and additionally the ethno-instrumental piece "Transcendental". Elements of discord, broken beats, and the plaintively soulful vocals combine to make this album into one of the most unique releases in the alternative genre.

An overview of Psyche's progress from their roots to now. Specially compiled for the North American audience to showcase the newest highlights in Psyche's career, but with a few reminders where it all started.

"The Dying Rose" with Aiboforcen, a new recording of "Misery" with Lights Of Euphoria, and finally "Torture" one of the first ever recorded Psyche demos
with D.R. Goettel +(later a member of Skinny Puppy).
2001 SANCTUARY

A new beginning with keyboarder Remi Szyszka. This title track finds Psyche back on the dancefloors with an energetic dark-electro dance anthem, also including, "The Outsider 2001" an update of Psyche's 80's classic. Remixes from Akanoid and Elektrohandel round off the timeless outlook of, and beyond the future. 
2001 THE HIDING PLACE

A  milestone re-establishing Psyche at the top of their genre. With overwhelming ease this album takes one on a journey through nostalgia, and the sound of tomorrow without missing a beat. A soaring collection of emotional intensity and shimmering electronics. A spiritual hi-tech tour de force. 







2002

ENDANGERED SPECIES

As a follow up to "The Hiding Place" the new Psyche extends their sound and songcraft with a collection of remixes in collaboration with SIXTY WINTERS, MASSIV IN MENSCH, NEGATIVE FORMAT and ELEKTROHANDEL. Additionally a string of brilliant new musical adventures are represented by "The Beyond", "Memento", Damaged Soul", and "Eleven".







2003

BABYLON DELUXE

The 10th full length album represents the pinnacle of PSYCHE brilliance; tribal rhythms, dark trance, and power electropop tunes full of surprises. Highlights include the electroclash tinged, internet webcam themed "X-Rated", the funky parable "Edge Of 17", swinging metaphysics of "Gods And Monsters", and the deadly infectious "Final Destination". Of course the album version to the hit club single "The Quickening", and the beautifully experimental "Equinoxe", "Stormtrooper", and "Snow Garden" are equally as thrilling. This album combines all the diversity of Psyche's musical and lyrical experience to date, and confirms the vitality and relevance of their journey from the early 80's well into the 21st century.







2004

LEGACY

A special US compilation of Psyche's second decade of highlights from 1991 to 2004, including the previously unreleased collaboration with Per-Anders Kurenbach called “Foolish Heart”. Also the 2001 smash "Sanctuary" (single version), a re-edit of "Heaven In Pain", the infamous “Goodbye Horses” and the Moonitor remix of “X-Rated,” which are exclusive to this collection. All remastered and available only on Metropolis Records.







2005

THE 11TH HOUR

Now after 20 years of creating their moody electronic pop, Psyche came up with this dark soundtrack documenting the rites of passage through the netherworld of the soul. Recorded mainly with Darrin's previous collaborator Per-Anders Kurenbach, but including a farewell track with Remi Szyszka, and a guest appearance by Christian Wirsig, "The 11th Hour" finds Psyche rejuvenating all the elements that made them unique in the first place garnering new fans and a Nr.1 position in the German Alternative Charts (DAC). "15 Minutes" and "The Belonging Kind"
are rocking the alternative dancefloors, while "September Moon", and "Yearning" turn the lights down low, and add candles and red wine to the melancholia at the final hour.

Original summaries were written by Tadeuz (BODYSTYLER).
Other than PSYCHE, singer Darrin  has experimented with the additional industrial project entitled VANISHING HEAT. The first album "Hallucination" was released in 1990 on the DOSSIER label. The 1994 album "The Itch"  (more aggressive and intense) was released by M.F.T.E.Q. and distributed by the DISCORDIA label (now TRITON).

In 1995 INSIDE was formed . The Ex-THE ETERNAL AFFLICT members together with Darrin had their debut release "Room Full Of Mirrors" on  Chrom Records. With club-hits like "Vampire" and "The Whip" they began a new chapter in the electro-underground scene. The album is a mixture between the style of the early Eternal Afflict hits like "San Diego",  and orchestral like song structures, powered by the vocal combination of singers Darrin and Angela.

The second and final release of INSIDE followed PSYCHE's "Love Among The Ruined" at the end of 1998. This "Porno-Pop" album entitled "Beware"  hit harder with aggressive guitars and kinky titles such as "Penetrate U", "Striptease", and "Kama Sutra". It also contained a modern industrial version of FRANKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD's "Relax".

To date, Darrin Huss has also appeared as guest vocalist on recordings by AIBOFORCEN ("The Dying Rose"),  FADING COLOURS ("Time"),  SARA NOXX ("Je T'aime" and "Jeanny Pt. 1") and backing vocalist on INVISIBLE LIMITS "Violence" CD. 

Psyche's Per-Anders Kurenbach contributed a remix of "Harlequin" for INERTIA's "Positive Angels" E.P. also including additional vocals by Darrin. ICON OF COIL's "Everlasting" was remade by Remi Szyszka and Darrin Huss for their SEREN.EP. Further remixes have been created for RUN LEVEL ZERO, COMMON DREAM, MASTERTUNE, DE/VISION, DAVOS, and TRISOMIE 21.
