What type of details about arabesque -lrb- group -rrb- can be gathered from the following bio? Bio: arabesque was an all-girl trio at the height of the european disco era in 1977 in frankfurt , germany . after the first album , the band lineup was changed by keeping only the original member michaela rose and replacing the two other girls with new members jasmin vetter and sandra lauer . after they split up in 1984 , jasmin and michaela continued on as the duo '' rouge '' , while sandra lauer started her own career as a solo artist , collaborating with michael cretu as sandra and later as part of enigma . arabesque became extremely popular in japan , and also had a great deal of success in the ussr . in 1980 , the single '' take me do n't break me '' became a hit , which only scraped the german top 40 . their next single , '' marigot bay '' , would become their only top ten hit a few weeks later . their last singles , '' ecstasy '' and '' time to say goodbye '' , became hits only after their split , in various european countries , as they sounded very close to the italo disco sound , a very popular music genre on the european dance scene at that time . those songs spread and gained success through lp compilations of dance/pop music , and bootleg tapes , so , the band could never take advantage of this success , as neither of those songs could properly appear on any music charts as '' singles '' anyway . -lrb- that was a common problem for many '80s european dance artists . -rrb- these last arabesque singles also introduced the '' italo disco '' sound to japan , under the term '' eurobeat '' , previously used in the uk for the stock aitken waterman productions . that soon lead to japan 's super eurobeat music style .
