" Like a river I'm flowing And there's no way of knowing If I'm coming or going I need something to chain me down Don't matter My eyes have seen Far better Out of blue, comes green.." #a-ha #stayontheseroads

One of my favourite The Cure albums and also of all time turns 37 today. What are your favourites? #thecuredisintegration

One of 1985 loveliest albums, Suzanne Vega's debut, was released on this day. It includes the singles Marlene on the Wall, Knight Moves and Small Blue Thing. Beautiful songwriting and masterful poetry/ storytelling. #suzannevega

And the planets of the universe Go their way Not astounded by the sun or the moon Or by the day You and I will simply disappear Out of sight But I'm afraid soon there'll be No light #stevienicks #troubleinshangri-la

It's not Friday but I'm in love with this album. Revisit it today and wish impossible things! #thecure #thecurewish

Ben Hillier was a perfect producer for Playing the Angel, but Sounds of the Universe perhaps proves that DM shouldn't work with the same producer again. Though DM proved for 3 albums they can exist without Wilder, his remix of In Chains maybe proves otherwise? Nevertheless, masterful songwriting!

Today in 2021 I released my debut album, Air Base of the Senses. It features the singles The Beginning of Sorrows, You Can Be Now and (If You Don't) Forgive. All 10 tracks were written, performed and produced by myself and mastered by Ludwig Bouwer at One Big Room Studios in Pretoria.

From the bittersweet, abandoned mansions and morgues of Velvet, to Morten holding the longest note in UK chart history (20,2 seconds) in the lead single, Summer Moved On. Also check out the amazing non-single gems, Little Black Heart and I Won’t Forget Her. #a-ha #minorearthmajorsky

"And the spirit of love Is rising within me Talking to you now Telling you clearly The fire still burns" #depechemodeultra

Strangelove, strange highs and strange lows Strangelove, that's how my love goes #depechemode #strangelove

"On candystripe legs the spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed" #thecure #thecurelullaby

Simple Minds’ 1989 live version of East at Easter in Verona, Italy, is a truly epic piece of emotional transitions. Just when you think it ends, an even better part starts. The video is a moving backdrop of live performance and religious scenes. #simpleminds #eastateaster

"I'll be fine I'll be waiting patiently 'Til you see the sign.." #depechemode #depechemodeitsnogood

In the play The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett), a man locks up his favourite garden spot, after his wife falls to her death. A guest from India perceives a gloom in his manor and finds the key to restore the garden. Even his son, believing he was terminally ill, gets up from his bed.

Beyond the horizon of a place we lived when we were young In world of magnets and miraculous albums! #pinkfloyd #thedivisionbell

I forgot to adjust the years in my template. You guys must correct me. Lol

Moved, by a Higher Love. #songsoffaithanddevotion #depechemode

Let me show you the best album in my eyes. It's the sweetest perfection. I'm waiting for the night to put it on! It is Depeche Mode's Violator, released on this day in 1990. A handful of other albums come very close, but this is my favourite album. #depechemodeviolator #violator #depechemode

It has occurred to me that most of my favourite and most influential albums and singles, were released in March. How many do you recognize and which are your favourites? #greatalbums #depechemode #u2 #tearsforfears #pinkfloyd #REM #thecure #roxette #rolandorzabal #davidgilmour #sting #marchreleases

My 2nd favourite DM album after Violator! Also released on this day, Spirit, which doesn't rank high in my favourite DM albums. Nevertheless, still a good album with great singles. #depechemode #blackcelebration

My favourite B-side of all time was released on this day: The Cure - This Twilight Garden #thecure #thecurehigh #thecurewish #thecurethistwilightgarden #thistwilightgarden

Depeche Mode's legendary concert at the Rose Bowl, Pasadena, June 18 1988, was released as a live album on this day in 1989. It is an iconic reminder that we should not give up on territories, who don't seem to accept us, when one day their support might explode with passion! #depechemode101

Today in '94, Pink Floyd released the promo single Keep Talking. It was also released as a double A-side with High Hopes and is taken from one of the greatest albums of all time, The Division Bell. I'll talk more about what the song means to me in the comment section later. #pinkfloydthedivisionbell

The epic, legendary Out of Time by REM was released on this day. One of my favorite albums from one of my favorite years in music, 1991. I would have released Texarkana as a single as well! What are your favorites? #REM #REMOutofTime

Did you know? The Joshua Tree features an important song about the women whose children forcibly disappeared under the military dictatorships of Argentina and Chile. My favourite tack is In God’s Country. #U2 #thejoshuatree #mothersofthedisappeared #MadresDePlazaDeMayo

Released on thiis day, The Hurting #tearsforfears Favourite track: Watch Me Bleed.

I didn't have courage My life was as dark as night When alone in the darkness I saw the brightest light Let the light shine down #davidgilmour #davidgilmouronanalbum #beggaronabeachofgold #mike+themechanics

I have no words. What a moment in time!

Brilliant brand new cover by Depeche Mode. Released 6 mins ago in my time zone. Waiting up for midnight, I was the 114th listener on Youtube.

Pop had the most singles from a U2 record (6), while fan favorites Gone and Do You Feel Loved? were also considered. Often underrated between giants, Achtung Baby, The Joshua Tree and Zooropa, it is one of my favorite U2 albums and one of the best concert tours (PopMart) I have attended. #u2 #u2pop

One of my favorite albums of all time released on this day: Ten Summoner's Tales by Sting. It is also nostalgic of playing Joe Dever's fantasy game books, Lone Wolf. FUN FACT: Did you know that on the 11th of August 1994, the CD was the first ever shipped item bought over the internet?

It's a double special day for Tears for Fears. 4 decades apart, but 2 of their best albums. Packed with some of the greatest singles and album tracks. My top favourites are Rivers of Mercy and the underrated, mostly instrumental, Listen.

A masterful and important single and album were released on this day. The single One by U2 may need no introduction, but if you don't know VAST, your discovery is my pleasure and honor. The album Nude also features one of my favorite songs of all time, Don' Take Your Love Away from me. #vast #u2

I don't usually cite Depeche Mode from the pre-82 period, but the B-side of Dreaming of Me (released today in '81), namely Ice Machine, is one of my favourites. It has also been covered brilliantly by Röyksopp, with the equally brilliant Susanne Sundfør. #depechemode #Röyksopp #susannesundfør

The hit of the century about unrequited love. Fun Fact: The video was directed by Tarsem Singh, who directed The Cell and numerous other music videos and films, his fingerprint always evident. #rem #losingmyreligion

We're Looking for the Whales by A-ha is a track from the album Scoundrel Days. It wasn't a single, but a live version features on the single Manhattan Skyline. It is such a nostalgic and atmospheric addition to the album, that I created some fan art for it yesterday. #a-ha #werelookingforthewhales

The single Manhattan Skyline by A-ha features We're Looking for the Whales (Live) as B-side and another super creative music video, which took a lot of hard work. Check it out in the comment section and listen out for Morten's soaring "Oh but how...how can you say.." #a-ha

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? #a-ha #a-hacastinsteel

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 #duranduran

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
