Bernthøler is known for the nice song My suitor .The band made music from October 1981 until April 1985 , composed more than 30 songs , made a lot of gigs , had good and bad times , and stopped as usual because of no record company sustain , but also because of different musical directions. You can read An extanded Bio of Bernthøler on Les Temps Modernes Web Site. This record company published the only existing collection of the best recording of the band. Drita (Ink) and Simon (Lunar Tiki's) are still making music today , Pol and Manu are working in the movie industry .
The only existing video of My Suitor is on YouTube
Other video testimony of Bernthøler (Japaneese Garden , The Choice , Exterieur Nuit , Toys Live in March 1984) are to find on YouTube
And for our Japaneese friends but pirates who never paid a penny of rights:

Just found "Merry Lines In The Sky" on iTunes and am downloading it as I type this - will burn it onto CD and listen in the car on the way to work tomorrow; something to look forward to!
Ik vond het ook een geweldige ervaring!! Het was ook een hele eer om dat wondermooie nummer eens te mogen zingen met jullie! Muziek is toch iets geweldig, vind je niet?
Ik wens jou & jouw medemuzikanten nog prachtige muzikale ervaringen toe!
it is an honor to be accepted as a 'friend'. your music is heartbreakingly gorgeous - how wonderful! Berntholer is one-of-a-kind, lovely melodies and poignant words; listening to the songs is like drifting through atmospheric dreams.
Hi Simon, 'My Suitor' is one of my favourite singles ever and I treasure the 7" version I bought 20 years ago. And Lunacies is splendid. Thank goodness you are here...
You'e very welcome...adore this track.
Recently rediscovered again
on BBC6 music's 'Freakzone'.
Like being reunited with
an old friend. Thankyou
for creating such a
beautiful song X
Thank you Simon ! How is it in Brussels ? My friend Marine just moved there from London, a bit reluctantly at first..She's actually having a b-day party this saturday, so I'll tell her to send you an invitation ! Maybe you'll become friends as well...
