There are two acts called Heligoland:

1) Tim Friese-Greene is an English musician and producer. Since 1997, he has released solo records under the name 'Heligoland'. He produced, co-wrote, and performed on four of Talk Talk's critically-acclaimed albums between 1984 and 1991, including Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock. He was only an occasional player on Talk Talk's live tours, and did not wish to appear in the band's promotional photo sessions or music videos.

2) Formed in 1999, Heligoland are a five-piece band originally from Melbourne, Australia now living in Paris, France that plays sparse, dreamy and evocative music. Heligoland's songs and sound have been compared to the atmospheric textures and soaring female vocals of the Cocteau Twins, the spartan soulfulness of Low and the wistful melancholy of Mojave 3.
