Young Gods formed around '86 in Switzerland. The name stems from a
song by the Swans, who recorded one of their records in a studio in
Switzerland at that time. 

There are 2 albums from the Young Gods before 'YG's play Kurt Weill':

Young Gods (1987) 
L'Eau Rouge (1989)

But beware, all vocals are in French on these two albums. But I like
it: It's the first music with French as a hard or agressive language.
Both albums are far superior to 'TV Sky'!
