That was Holosud. They've released one EP on A-Musik so far. 'Brusseler Platz 10a' is the address of the label/shop in Cologne. The dude with the lightbulb and spazz-dance was Jo Schlammpeitziger (not his real name ;-)) whose Kraftwerky synth toons have been around for a while and been remixed by Markus Schmickler, Mouse On Mars etc. The invalid in the armchair was Felix aka FX Randomiz - another A-Musik regular - his Goflex LP is also out now. He made an album called Slow in 1992 with Jan St Werner of MOM (on Werner's Gefriem label); well worth tracking down if you can find it. Best place to look for all this stuff right now seems to be Rough Trade in London, or direct.
