The alternative scene has changed much over the past two decades; more and more bands have proved that their idea of crossing and melting different elements in music - from Metal through Electro -Trance to Industrial can be successful. Girls Under Glass have always been innovators of musical openness and known for their overlapping mixture of styles since G.U.G's founding in 1986. After almost 20 years and 9 European studio-releases (1988-2001) ? Humus, Flowers, Positive, Darius, Christus, Crystals & Stones, Firewalker, Equilibrium and Minddiver - Girls Under Glass are still leading representatives of modern alternative music. The influence and importance of Germany's Girls Under Glass in the genre has garnered the attention of fellow countrymen and industrial giants KMFDM and Die Krupps both whom have remixed G.U.G. tracks in the past.
