OFF was one of King-of-Trance Sven Väth's early bands. When I say "trance", I mean the real good stuff, not the shit.
The other two guys in this band were Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti, who later produced the German-Soldier-rapping-extravaganza known as Snap!
I've been listening a lot to this track lately. It's so theatrical and dramatic, almost silly, but never quite goes there, probably because these guys knew what they were doing. Granted, it's 1986, so big hair is getting more and more popular. Kinda reminds me of Murray Head's 'One Night In Bangkok', but a bit more, eh, underground, which does not apply to this song at all, but I think you know what I mean when you hear it.

These three fellas actually did a WHOLE LOT more dramatic and horse-galloping stuff, for example with their band 16 Bit. Semi-weird, if you think about it. Why would anyone chose this theme? Some dude bellowing like The Terminator over jumpey duggudu-duggudu beats, and yet somehow, in a very odd way, it works. I especially love the chorus in this track.
16 Bit - Changing Minds (Extended)
The 16 Bit project ended up releasing "pure" trance in the 90s. A whole other world of drama.
