20 Years “Songs Of Faith And Devotion” – A Tribute

Release year: 2013
Release version: Physical release
Label: Sonic Seducer
Type: Compilation

This nice tribute comes with issue 04/2013 of the German magazine “Sonic Seducer” to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Songs Of Faith Devotion”. Although the sleeve says that all tracks were “exclusively produced and recorded for this compilation”, the track by SoundSequence was already recorded in 1997 and is also available on several download platforms like iTunes or Amazon since April 2011. This tribute is also available separately on Amazon.de without the magazine.

Tracks:

  1. Mono Inc. – I Feel You (3:48)
  2. A Life [Divided] – Walking In My Shoes (4:18)
  3. Patenbrigade: Wolff – Condemnation (3:53)
  4. Unzucht – Mercy In You (4:24)
  5. SoundSequence – In Your Room (4:43)
  6. Solitary Experiments – Rush (4:38)
  7. Leaves’ Eyes – One Caress (3:30)
  8. Skyte – Higher Love (4:45)

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.
