It always fights with Masque for the number one spot as my favourite The Mission album.

It always fights with Masque for the number one spot as my favourite The Mission album.
Artists usually release singles with B-sides or double A-sides, but in 2016, A-ha released two singles from the same album on the same day.
Do you prefer the album or Steve Osborne versions of Cast in Steel and Objects in the Mirror?

So much information
The pressure's on the screen
To sell you things that you don't need
It's too much information for me

Even before Elemental, Raoul..; and Tomcats.., Roland was the member that would become my bigger influence in Tears for Fears. This song and its time period is a textbook example of The Freddie Erasmus Tapes aspirations and vibe: melancholic pop/rock that once reached the mainstream. #tearsforfears

From rock to classical string sections to the ahead-of-its-time remixes, I Feel You by Depeche Mode, is one of music history's most progressive singles.
From the 80s synth-pop hit, Just Can't Get Enough to smoky grunge lounges and modern rock compilations in only a decade! #depechemodeifeelyou

LET DISAPPROVAL BE YOUR CHALLENGE !
When producer Flood told Billy Corgan that his demo, Strolling, wasn’t good enough to be included on The Smashing Pumpkins’ Mellon Collie album, he took it as a challenge. He spent hours that evening and presented Flood with 1979 the next day.

I feel like there's an ordinary world somehow I have to find. I am not interested in the dark solutions the future rulers have to offer. I am happy and grateful for the perfect way humans, nature and music were created. I am bored to death with our shallow society. #duranduran #ordinaryworld

The Soul Cages by Sting stems from losing his father in 1989 and an interest in his hometown, which paints the soundscape of a shipyard, one of my favourite themes.
Pain is the fertilizer of the future's most beautiful gardens and forests.

You cannot force it.
From incomplete songs, to disbelief, to burdens desperate for release.

Today in 1985 Chris Isaak released his debut Silvertone. Perfect for David Lynch film moods, Gone Ridin' featured in Blue Velvet. Fun fact: Isaak played FBI agent Chester Desmond in Twin Peaks and the album cover for Silvertone is an apparent homage to Elvis Presley's Don't. #chrisisaak #silvertone

Today in '94 Depeche Mode released In Your Room. It is chock-full of timeless remixes and live tracks. The Zephyr Mix/ Video Version (produced by Butch Vig from Garbage) and The Jeep Rock Mix are my favourites. It includes the very best live version of World in My Eyes ever. #depechemode #inyourroom

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos, was released today in 1992. It features the singles Me and a Gun, Silent All These Years, China, Winter, and Crucify. My favorites are Precious Things (which should have been a single!), China and the Unedited Single Version of Crucify. #toriamos #littleearthquakes

This song is over a 1000 years old and my take on it, which was inspired by the moody version of Enya. With new lyrics to contemplate the times. #ocomeocomeemmanuel
