After P.S. broke up, Fehlmann was active in the "Teutonic Beats" scene,
where he met Thiel/Loderbauer of Sun Electric fame (they were in
Fischerman's Friend). Von Oswald was in Teutonic Beats group Marathon,
along with Hertwig. Fehmann met Alex Paterson of the Orb while Paterson
was an A&R man for Editions EG (and the beat goes on). Hiller taught
guitar to Andreas Dorau (ATBGN...). It's interesting that Palais
Schaumburg was a nexus for so many talents.

Typical 80's video. Side/snide comment- Fehlmann still had hair...
Palais Schaumburg was pretty formative stuff for me back in the day. I
didn't know at the time that the group started off Thomas Fehlmann,
Moritz von Oswald, and Holger Hiller (those names were important for me
later), and I think also had FM Einheit for a brief time.
According to Wikipedia:
The band was originally formed in 1980, featuring Timo Blunck,
Holger Hiller, Thomas Fehlmann, and percussionist F. M. Einheit.
The group's name stands for Das Palais Schaumburg in Bonn, the
former residence of German chancellor.
Einheit left the group, eventually to join Einst�rzende
Neubauten and was replaced by Ralf Hertwig prior to Palais
Schaumburg's first full length album Palais Schaumburg which was
produced by David Cunningham and released in 1981. Shortly after
it was released, Hiller left the band and started his solo
career. He was replaced with Moritz von Oswald and vocalist
Walther Thielsch.
