The debut album Fehler im System was released at the end of 1982, and the first single Major Tom stormed the top of the charts in Germany. Other countries followed. Even in the USA the song's English version stormed onto #14 of the Billboard Hot 100. It even cracked the #1 position in the US dance charts. This resulted in four gold records from Germany, Austria and Canada (single and album) as well as countless TV-appearances. While the second album 120 Grad (Things To Come) together with the single Terra Titanic could not keep up to the success of the first album, 1986 the team split and Armin went separate ways. As a studio musician for acts such as Hazel'O'Connor, Eric Burdon or Thomas D. Armin Sabol got booked for performances on several albums and singles of the German mega-act Die Fantastischen Vier. Armin also kept on working as a producer for bands like Rage, Sinner or Pyracanda. In addition to his participation in the German party band Lollies, known for their hit single Wahnsinn, Hölle, Hölle he has also produced a lot of instrumental production music for TV and advertising purposes. E.g. for productions such as the Oprah Winfrey Show, The Mentalist, Storage Wars, Auction Hunters or the Netflix series The Purge. But he can't let go of his old love: the electric guitar and his heart to the crashing blues rock. Thus, the desire became stronger and more concrete to make a musical statement in his late career. That is why Armin Sabol produced his album Back in Blue in 2021, which will be released in the spring 2022 on Yellow Muffin Records. The self-confessed biker was musically supported by Micha Kasper (drums), Horst Künzl (drums), Uwe Jesdinsky (bass), Wolfgang Terne (backing vocals),Wolfgang Thunderwolf Schorer (backing vocals) finalist at The German TV Show The Voice Senior and PUR drummer Frank Dapper on the John Lee Hooker cover Boom Boom.
