With each new album comes a name change and more confusion.
Criminally ignored band with a high output of great music.

During the following two years, about 40 musicians joined and left the band until a stable line-up was established. July 2002 saw The Ocean play their first concert at Berlin's now defunct semi-legal Eimer Club.
