History and Early Years
In 1989, the Tic Tok Men refused to perform live and began construction of the Tic Tok Men Compound (TTMC) their distribution entity and recording facility. The TTMC contains a large collection of synthesizers and electronic instruments .
After their last early years album Remote Control in 1995, the four disassembled and embarked on separate projects. Dieter and Atian returned to Berlin, Seven surrounded himself in computing and Brian has mysteriously vanished somewhere in the United States. Before disbanding, the Tic Tok Men decided to regroup on February 20, 2000 (02/20/2000).
Dieter, Atian and Seven regrouped in 1999 to record in the newly finished Tic Tok Men Compound. On January 1 they finished the final mix of "Conduit", the first song recorded by the Tic Tok Men in five years.
The Tic Tok Men have remained mostly underground but enjoy a large cult following. They often refer to their existence as "reclusive".

Famous quotes containing the words history, early and/or years:
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Why wont they let a year die without bringing in a new one on the instant, cant they use birth control on time? I want an interregnum. The stupid years patter on with unrelenting feet, never stopping—rising to little monotonous peaks in our imaginations at festivals like New Year’s and Easter and Christmas—But, goodness, why need they do it?”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
