Trust

Listen to the first version of this song as released on “Unexplained!”. This one is the version after Markus Giltjes was finished with the song. Bastard. The song is 20 minutes long because at the end there is an obscure version of “Unheeded” where you can here Sascas father saying (in German) “Jetzt gebe ich Mama”. A great moment.

Man In The Dark

A great opener and a great drum riff. Played by Markus Giltjes with some support by Faith No More.

Explain!

We really loved to play this song live – great stuff.

Unheeded

“Unheeded” was the opener for our live shows. We had a 10 minutes soundscape intro and then Christoph started with some 5 minutes more feedback. Originally inspired by German band Rausch.

Every Reason

While some songs on “Explain!” are more indie and wave stuff, “Every Reason” is a really nice pop song. The guitar sound is very much inspired by Edges 90ties sounds.

Berlin

Fantastic sound! We had a lot of problems mixing this song because the bass sounds were so deep and we always had distortion on the master. “Berlin” was inspired by Nine Inch Nails. Respect to Trent Raznor.

Run Away

The drum break in the very beginning was meant as a joke: It is stolen from Pink Turns Blue and for us this drum break has always stood as a synonym for PTB and Markus Giltjes.

Dave (Single Version)

“Dave” was a dancefloor hit in the gothic and wave scene in Germany and was also included on several compilations. Even in Brasil “Dave” was played on the radio and in the clubs.

A Sacrifice

The guitar in this song was inspired by The Mission, The Cult and other guitar orientated wave bands.
