Meanwhile (Camouflage album)

Meanwhile is the third studio album by German synth-pop trio Camouflage, released on 26 March 1991 by Metronome in Europe and Atlantic Records in North America.

Unlike Camouflage's earlier albums, and most of their later work, Meanwhile features more 'organic' instruments like real drums and guest musicians playing conventional instruments. However, this change brought with it controversy, and Marcus later said that if they had been given advice against the change in style, things may have gone differently.

Two singles were released from "Meanwhile: "Heaven (I Want You)" and a double a-side of "This Day" and "Handsome". "Heaven (I Want You)" charted at number 57 in Germany.

All tracks written by Camouflage, except tracks 5 and 7, written by Nia Neutron.
