I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.

Lyrics of "Tora! Tora! Tora!"

They were raining from the sky
Exploding in my heart
Is this the love in disguise
Or just a form of modern art?

From the skies you could almost hear them cry
„Tora! Tora! Tora!“
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I had a nightmare only yesterday
You played a skeleton
You took my love and died that day
I played an American

From the skies you could almost hear them cry
„Tora! Tora! Tora!“
In the town they were going down
Tora! Tora! Tora!

I played an American
