Sorry, but the infos on discogs.com are not correct at 100%!

I've contacted Steven Toeteberg and he confirmed that he composed just the first Megabyte album (with Thilo Rex).
On his DISCOGRAPHY on Reverbnation space he wrote that he composed only "Powerplay"

The band from "Go For It" has partly changed memebers.

I have all the Megabyte albums and the musician with dark hair is Leroy McByte, while the blond musician is Maxx Mega Jr.

So, now let's see the mounting I made....

Yes! He is real..... and I am finding out the real names! 😉

p.s. the same musicians are also in the booklet of "Crystal Universe".

Do you have all Megabyte cds?

Thilo Rex is Amanda Mega, because Billy Byte is exactly Steven Toeteberg, he is a musician for Software - Modesty-Blaze 1-2 and Cave also by this name. Looks like Leroy McByte is Thilo Rex and Maxx Mega is some other guy, which can also be seen on photos of other releases. He is most likely a musician, but unknown by name.

You can see a Software page of Michael Weisser here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/…186?v=info

He tells that Billy Byte is alias of Steven Toeteberg, he is also credited for performing on every album where he is mentioned as Billy Byte or G.E.N.E.'s Lisa-Maria Tedesca.

So on The Cut photo it can be a mistake that names of musicians are exchanged or they are really changed. Thilo Rex became Leroy McByte.

It's me who corrected Discogs by available facts and thinks.

Yes, this was exactly marketing. G.E.N.E. and Eylin de Winter were fake female bands, so much mystery around them. Also their erotic ideas from 1991 and later on: Modesty-Blaze, Eylin de Winter, 4 piece collection of compilations with fat uncensored photo booklets. All about gain.

G.E.N.E.'s musicians in different time were Peter Mergener (Crystal Binelly), Steven Toeteberg (Lisa-Maria Tedesca) and Suppi Huhn (also known as Amao) (Carina G. Wing) and the main of them is Canadian lady with moustache Michael Weisser (Cleo de Mallio).

Eylin de Winter are hired IC musicians in different time: Curtis McLaw (Dancing Fantasy), Blue Knights in whole piece and Peter Sefkow (for one album).

From 1992 unpublished interview:
Quote
The pseudonyms for the members changed after Powerplay Was this a change of members?

L.MCBYTE: There was a partial change of members, yes. but we were involved in MEGABYTE since the beginning. After the change, we took the whole responsibility for the project and changed the first names into "Maxx MEGA Jr." and "Leroy McBYTE."

I read several years ago that you can't let out your identities for contractual reasons. Is this still true?

M. MEGA : Yes, unfortunately. But we think the fans of MEGABYTE will love our music just the same, even if they don't know exactly who we are. I hope so.

"My Father Was A Teacher" is a brilliant track.
