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 "Satellite"

Now hear this my friends,
I’ll never be the same again,
Going to lock myself in a cold black room,
Going to shadow myself in a veil of gloom,
I will function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.

Driven to this point by a chain of events,
Each one pushed me nearer the edge.
Going to send my message through to you,
You’ll receive the signal too
I will function, operate,
I will be a satellite of hate.

Higher, Higher

Disillusioned – I was disenchanted,
Forgot the love that had been implanted,
Heard the lies and I felt the cold,
It broke my heart and I lost control-
Now I’m in a satellite of a free state,
I’m a satellite of hate.
