* Music/SystemDivide was the brainchild of [[Music/{{Aborted}} Sven de Caluwe]] and his then-wife Miri Milman. When they divorced, the band went with them; judging by [[BreakupSong "Your Entitlement Means Nothing"]] from Sven's main band, it was ''not'' amicable.

However, of those only Mann and Weil didn't end up divorcing.
