Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.

Lyrics of "The Sun And The Rainfall"

Someone will call,
Something will fall
And smash on the floor.
Without reading the text,
Know what comes next.
See it before
And it’s painful.

Things must change.
We must re-arrange them
Or we’ll have to estrange them.
All that I’m saying
A game’s not worth playing
Over and over again.

You’re the one I like best,
You retain my interest,
You’re the only one.
If it wasn’t for you,
Don’t know what I’d do.
Unpredictable like the sun
And the rainfall.
