They are best known for their single "Dirty Talk"[1] which was originally released in Milan, Italy in 1982. It became an international underground hit. Further single releases such as "Wonderful",[1] "More Dirty Talk",[1] "The MBO Theme"[1] and others continues in a similar vein. Some of their songs were released in the United States by Atlantic Records.[1]

The first and only Klein + M.B.O. album was released initially as De-Ja-Vu and then later as First. The album was recorded using Roland synthesizers and a Roland TR-808 drum machine and featured Davide Piatto on guitar.[2]

French recording duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker covered "Dirty Talk" for their 1998 EP Champagne.[3] German electropop band Moskwa TV released "Tekno Talk" which is almost a genuine cover of "Dirty Talk" in 1985, with the "Bombing Mix" gaining some popularity due to the use of Ronald Reagan's infamous "We begin bombing in five minutes" off-the-record joke as the intro sample.[4]
