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 "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
