Peter Schilling (born Pierre Michael Schilling, January 28, 1956) is a German New Wave musician. Most of his albums deal with the future and are primarily based on science fiction.His first album, Fehler im System / Error in the System (English), brought him into the spotlight with the song "Major Tom (Coming Home)", which was based on "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. The song achieved #1 in Australia, Canada, Germany, and Switzerland. After that, Schilling faded from the spotlight, though he continued to produce albums. Most of his songs are German only, but his early albums have both German and English versions of the same song - usually a direct translation.His later albums introduce more techno/electronic elements, and he has released one relaxation album, ''Delight Factor Wellness'.Discography Fehler Im Sistem (German, 1982)/Error in the System (English, 1983) 120 Grad (German, 1984)/Things to Come (English, 1985) The Different Story (World Of Lust And Crime) (English, 1989) Geheime Macht (1993) Sonne, Mond Und Sterne (1994) Von anfangan...bis jetzt (1999) Raumnot (2003) Retrospektive (2004) Zeitsprung (2004) Delight Factor Wellness (2005) Das Prinzip Mensch (2006) Tauch Mit Mir...In Eine Neue Zeit...Das Beste Von (2003–2006, 2006) Emotionen sind männlich (2007) DNA (2014) vis viva (2021) Coming Home: 40 Years of Major Tom (2023) | |

Crapsack World | |
| Peter Schilling (Music) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: "I Have No Desire" paints the current world situation as this. "City Of Night (Berlin)" does this for the title city prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall. | |

Apocalypse How: "The Noah Plan" has the Earth's orbit falling into the sun. The tides reverse, and the atmosphere is blown away. "Terra Titanic" also suggests a similar global disaster in a metaphorical sense, equating the Earth to the Titanic. | |
