Mind’s Forces – Photographic

Associated artists/bands: Mind's Forces

Original song info

Digipack with cool black “vinyl-like” disc. Was available as free download (incl. artwork) from Sequence Records.

Both the CD and the sleeve look exactly the same as the 2004 version of this CDS without NLMDA, even the catalogue number is the same. Only difference is the sticker and the front and of course the 5 additional tracks. My big thanks to Lukasz Dajewski and Robert Sokolowski for sending me this CD!!!

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 "Photographic"

A white house, a white room
The program of today
Lights on, switch on
Your eyes are far away

The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till you recognize the choice

I take pictures
Photographic pictures

Bright light, dark room
The right light, dark room

I said I’d write a letter
But I never got the time
And looking to the day
I mesmerise the light

The years I spent just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second past, like an empty room
It seem’s it can’t be true

I take pictures
Photographic pictures

Bright light, dark room
The right light, dark room
