Methods of Silence is the second studio album by German synth-pop trio Camouflage, released in June 1989 by Atlantic Records. The single "Love Is a Shield" reached number 9 on the German singles chart, making it Camouflage's most successful song,[2] and number 20 on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.[1]
Camouflage set up a new studio, "Boys Factory 2", near their home town before entering the Synsound Studio in Brussels in early 1989. The producer, Dan Lacksman (known for his work with Telex), used both modern and old technology to create the new album. The band was given more creative freedom due to their previous success.[3]
Chart performance
The album reached number 13 on the German albums chart. The first single, "Love Is a Shield", was also a hit, reaching number 9 on the singles chart, and has become one of the band's best-known songs.[4]
