Peace

Sounds of the Universe (2009)

A wall of sound for the universe and a moving vocal performance by Dave.
Further lifted by the performance of Maria Dinulescu in the video, filmed in Bucharest.

Policy of Truth

Violator (1990)

Lyrically open to multiple personal as political meanings, depending on your transgressions, moving from the permissive 80s into reactionary 90s. A thumping beat and menacing 🎸!

Enjoy The Silence 04 (Timo Maas)

Remixes 81 .. 04

A minimal take bringing out the sinister possibilities of the lyrics.

Delta Machine (2013)

Geiger Counter sequencers and ecclesiastical synth washes underpin a richly delivered tale of failing to be a saviour.

Only When I Lose Myself (1998)

Singles 86-98

Finding heaven in hell - a trip hop vibe, a genre which DM were quite possibly an influential source.

Love In Itself (1983) from Construction Time Again

Have chosen this one for the introspection, proto-industrial percussion elements and the "hey what does this button do?" variety of synth sounds.

Don't Be Lonely

A bluegrassy late night affair with the added nicely judged element of Arlene Newsome's guest vocals. 👌

BoDeans - Outside Looking In

Pick Up The Pieces

If you grew up in the 70s listening to your parents' records, like me, you may find a comforting Fleetwood Mac vibe to the vocals.

If life is breaking you down, BoDeans are here to get you through

9 What It Feels Like

I was 17 when the album came out and wanted to know what it feels like too! 😉 Sam's Dylan-esque vocals are perfect for this theme.
