Antwort auf eine Message von Sean Dennis an Thorsten Ossowski:
Might be the other persons in there haven't got our great taste of music? :-)
They shouldn think about it anymore! Me and some friends of mine are really
looking forward to see the live! Gahan has one of the best voices Ie ever
heard and the systhesizers are the best I have ever heard!
And this LP (I have bought in on vinyl: much better sound of their synthis)
is great. Especially the songs "Freestate" and "The bottom line" are
outstanding (I like the singles, too, but _these_ two songs are ... simply
great :-))
"Music for the masses" is... I cannot tell how great it is. You know: one of
my best records. If I just realize the befginning of "Never let me down
again" I know that this is it :-)
Really great band!
Tschuess/2, Thorsten!

Antwort auf eine Message von Jennifer Sharward an Thorsten Ossowski:
Of course I know, that they released ULTRA, but a guy from German FIDO told
me, that they are going to release new stuff and they are planning to tour
next year or so. I want to verify, that it is true.
"It's no good" is of course receiving the airplay it deserves. Are there
better Pop songs this time, except Depeche Mode? In Germany, you are
listening to tons of crap on air: Depeche Mode are outstanding in every way!
What about Madonna's new album? I haven't lietsned to it yet, is it worth my
time?

got me into VooPeople and we went out and bought the album and loved it.
I like Crystal Method but i can't listen to them, i think they would be

I like...
Prodigy, Aphex Twin, Orb, The Orbital, DJ Keoki, Daft Punk, Atari Teenage
