Mike Koglin – Enjoy The Silence

“Enjoy The Gravy” is a mash-up of Sasha’s “Wavy Gravy” and Mike Koglin’s “The Silence”. The booklet lists “M. Gore / M. Koglin” as authors of “The Silence”. Comes in cardboard sleeve. Comes in thin cardboard sleeve. I got this one directly from Mike Koglin himself, thanks a lot! :-) Probably the “Truman & Wolf Remix” on this CD-R is the previously released “Truman & Wolff’s Silent Treatment Mix” by Mike Truman and Darren Wolff. Written by Martin Gore and Mike Koglin.

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 "Enjoy The Silence"

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world

Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial

Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted…
