I'm so predictable...
Hubert KaH are Hubert Kemmler, Klaus Hirschburger, and Marcus Lohr. Cretu
is their Trevor Horn to be sure (serious production, keyboards, etc.) but
they aren't complete puppets; they write their own material, play their own
instruments, and so forth. They have some early material I'm not familiar
with; I don't know if Cretu was involved then (pre-1987) or not.
Peter Schilling is Peter Schilling. Cretu produced his single "A Different
Story" but I'm not aware of any other involvement between the two.
Cretu is "Curly MC". Sandra ("*THE*" Sandra) is Cretu's wife.
As far as I know, Sandra didn't sing on KaH's "It's Me, Cathy" -- the
vocals are credited to Amy Goff. Maybe that's a pseudonym, but aside from
Cretu's usual breathy vocal processing, it doesn't sound much like Sandra
to me (not enough of an accent).
Sandra's albums through Into A Secret Land may as well be Hubert KaH albums
given the songwriting credits (Cretu/Kemmler/Hirschburger/Lohr right down
the line).
It goes on, but it's not really relevant here. Gavin Stok runs
