March nine nil. Day nineteenth. Mute Records Ltd. before releasing "Personal Jesus" had already stirred up the charts in the USA and elsewhere. Not to mention the legendary "Enjoy The Silence" with the memorable character of the Gahan-King created by Anton Corbijn. The third hit-single only proved the genius of...

I have right at the front of me brand new hybrid in SACD and Audio CD (and extra DVD) containing latest "precious" from legendary Depeche Mode, LP called "Playing The Angel". It's a long awaited LP, that was very mysterious for a long time, very few knew what we can...

As usual, Delerium's music is enriched with sounds of...

Deied - Tales of Sodenliah
