Wild Strawberries was established during the couple's time at university, during which they would hold
jam sessions with friends. In 1988, the band submitted the song "Crying Shame" to Toronto radio station
CFNY for its new music search contest; it won the contest, and received airplay from the station. Other early hits for the duo included "Life-Sized
Marilyn Monroe" and "Crying Shame". The song "I Don't Want To Think About It" is part of the
soundtrack of the 1996 film
Foxfire. Subsequently, Alan Fletcher from Warner put the band in contact with German
electronic dance producer and
DJ André Tanneberger (ATB). Tanneberger produced a
remix of the song, released as an ATB
single re-titled "
Let U Go". This popularized the song on both continents, as the single reached number 18 on the U.S.
Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts and number 7 on the
German Singles Chart. The song also marked the point in ATB's musical output when he began to produce songs with full vocal tracks, as opposed to
sampled and
looped vocals. The Wild Strawberries and ATB went on to collaborate on further songs, including the subsequent ATB single "Hold You" and album tracks from the 2002 ATB album
Dedicated, and multiple subsequent singles ("I Don't Wanna Stop", "Long Way Home") and album tracks from the 2003 ATB album
Addicted to Music. All songs were co-written by Ken and Tanneberger, with vocals by Roberta. Tanneberger later produced a new recording of "Let U Go" for the 2005 greatest hits compilation
Seven Years: 1998–2005, with new male vocalist Jan Löchel.
Sarah McLachlan played guitar on and appeared in the video for "I Don't Want to Think About It". The band participated in all three years of the
Lilith Fair music festival, which McLachlan founded. ==Discography==
