Ed Lay (drums) from Editors
EDITORS released their seventh studio album ‘EBM’ on 23rd September. It is the first album with their new band member Benjamin John Power, aka BLANCK MASS. The album title is an acronym of EDITORS and BLANCK MASS, but of course also refers to Electronic Body Music. This genre hugely influenced the album ‘EBM’. Now EDITORS present their new album on a big European tour. Two days before it started, I talked to Ed Lay via Zoom about the album and the new sound which came with the new member.

Dany Boy, Tall Bastard and Crazy Z. from Je T’Aime
JE T'AIME are undoubtedly one of the most hard-working and passionate artists I know. With many summer shows behind and autumn ones ahead, they do not slow down for even a moment. With the planned release of ‘Aggressive’, the angrier, harsher sister to ‘Passive’, I decided to ask for an update. And indeed, there is a lot going on! About the new release, past and the future and about live shows that may actually be quite dangerous…

Kevin May & David McElroy (authors) of the Depeche Mode biography “Halo”
The soon-to-be-published book ‘Halo’ about the record-breaking DEPECHE MODE album ‘Violator’ and about the era associated with it was written by two contemporary journalists who had discovered the music of Martin Gore & Co. around the same time as me. ‘Violator’ was the first DEPECHE MODE studio album for me, too, and as a “new-mod(e)ish” fan I was already waiting very eagerly for it. I got to know the band at the end of the ‘Music For The Masses’ era, I was completely enchanted and fascinated by the live album ‘101’, the back catalogue of my new idols was studied within a short time and I was already ready, even hungry for something new from them. And then came the pre-release singles ‘Personal Jesus’ and ‘Enjoy The Silence’ and I - a “Little 15” - was suddenly in the middle of the action. At the time, of course, I was not aware that these times would later go down in music history and that I was an eye and ear witness to the birth of a legendary album.
