Nobody really knows if this one is called “The faith” or “The face”. Even inside the band there was some confusion about the title. Nevermind – this one was recorded on Planet Bo.
Dave – Original Version

“Dave” was something like a hit in the dark and gothic scene back than. This one is the first recording of “Dave” and it’s a little more down to the point as the released version. At the end of the song there’s this woman – I really can’t remember her name.
1994

We started working on the recordings for our third album shortly before our tour with German band Myrna Loy in 1994. Groppe was still singer of the band and the first version of 1994 was recorded with Groppe in Studio 54. He left the band some weeks before the tour started and we had to find a new singer or cancel the tour. Markus Giltjes, who produced Explain! recommended Udo Woitowizc who came from the same town as Markus. We invited Udo to Studio 54 and during the rehearsal we recorded this version of 1994 which we all really loved and the band had a new singer.

Let me die

Uuuh – something dark with a little help from our friends form the Invisible Limits. Marion sang the female part and Jürgen played the spanish guitar. True dark wave stuff.
Call

Everybody hated the guitar, but Christoph really loved it. The drum samples were stolen from some obscure U2 remixes and nobody knows where U2 have stolen them first.

Markus played great drums on this track. The song was inspired by all this Happy Mondays, Carter USM etc. stuff.
The Moon

Our manifesto. Some of the best moments we had were playing this song live. We normally played 15 to 20 minutes versions and at the end there always was a great chaos and sometimes Christoph destroyed his guitar. Great.
Sweet Dreams

Everybody loved this song and everybody loved Annie Lennox.
