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 "Ice Machine"

Running through my head secretly
The shouts of the boys in the factory
I ring you on the telephone silently
Like blood, like the wine, in the dark room see

The dark room see, dark room see

A letter
Once composed
Seven years long and as tall as a tree
Reading
On the wall
efficient, efficiency

Efficiency, efficiency

Resurrect
As a feeling
On my window
Of a past reunion

Resurrect as a feeling
On my window
Of a past reunion
Mission of a picture
Like the city and the air we breathe

The air we breathe, air we breathe

She stood beside me once again
I knew her face
We met before in the street
Recalling all the children dancing at our feet

Their dancing feet, dancing feet
