[edit] History
In the late 1980s, Talla and Jallokin(Markus Nikolai) formed the band Pluuto under Talla's own Technodrome Records (TDI Records) label. At the time, Talla was also involved in the production of several other projects such as Robotiko Rejekto, Tribantura, and Microchip League.
In 1988, the duo released the single Body to Body under the name "Bigod 20" as part of Talla's newly founded Music Research label, which eventually evolved into Zoth Ommog Records.
In 1990, Bigod 20 was signed to Sire Records and released the hit single The Bog, which became a dancefloor favorite around the world. The single featured a strong Front 242 influence. "The Bog" title track even featured the guest vocal work of Front 242 lead man Jean-Luc De Meyer.
In 1991 Talla and Jallokin joined up with musician Thomas Franzmann (aka Zip Campisi) and released their first full-length album Steel Works!. The album spawned the single On the Run, which contained the electropop-influenced cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer". The single It's Up To You followed soon afterward.
In 1992, Bigod 20's first album Steel Works! was released by Sire Records. In 1994, their second full-length, Supercute, was released along with the single "One". 1997 Zip and Jallokin( Markus Nikolai) launched their label "Perlon"
