Sign System was a 1980s synth band that produced one album in 1985 and a couple of EPs. They became a lead in the The Most Mysterious Song search due to similarities in synths.

Communication with the Band[edit | edit source]

Sign System caught the attention of TMS searchers due to some stylistic similarities in their music to that of TMS, especially in regards to synth chords. The track Stay with Me from 1984 prompted this investigation.

Christoph Aengenheyster, the drummer for both the band Deo and Sign System was contacted on Discord, where he had responded to inquiries by suggesting that TMS sounded familiar, although he hadn't provided further details.

While this lead has not been debunked fully, it is seen as largely a dead lead by the community.

-==== Christoph Aengenheyster's Involvement ====
+'''Christoph Aengenheyster''', the drummer for both the band '''Deo''' and Sign System was contacted on Discord, where he had responded to inquiries by suggesting that TMS sounded familiar, although he hadn't provided further details.
-One of the more intriguing aspects of this lead was the involvement of Christoph Aengenheyster, the drummer for both Deo and Sign System. According to discussions on Discord, Aengenheyster was considered a strong lead because he had initially responded to inquiries by suggesting that TMS sounded familiar, although he hadn't provided further detailed information.

+While this lead has not been debunked fully, it is seen as largely a dead lead by the community.
-Researchers made efforts to contact Aengenheyster and gather more information. Despite his initial recognition of the song, he did not provide further details or follow up with substantive information that could advance the search. This lack of further communication led to some frustration among researchers, as indicated by discussions where it was mentioned that Aengenheyster "hasn't responded yet" and "hasn't provided further info yet".

-Discussions also touched upon the dynamics within Sign System that led to their eventual breakup. This included personality clashes and creative differences, notably with some members not fully supporting the direction the band was taking. These internal issues, while insightful into the band's history, provided little in terms of connecting them directly to TMS.
-==== Conclusion of the Lead ====
-As the investigation deepened without new information from Aengenheyster and no further leads from analyzing Sign System's music and history, the community began to view this avenue as a dead end. The similarity in musical style initially drew interest, but without concrete evidence or additional details from Aengenheyster, the lead did not progress.
