The World of music may have moved here and is no longer on its own page, but it’s not discontinued… not even when it’s been however long since the last post… it’s still alive! 🙂
Of course, there’s a lot happening in the music world all the time. I’m mostly busy with other things right now, and have been for a while, but I still want to share two cool things I’ve come across lately. It won’t be in a classic World of music format, maybe more of a new, freer format… we’ll see what the future holds… right now, I’m offering two goodies anyway!
First up is a cover of Elton John, done by Vella, someone I interpret as a one-man act, but it could also be a group, a bit unclear to me as I write this. But it’s a real goosebumps warning anyway!
Next up is none other than Depeche Mode. The approach is long, but hang in there.
In 2013, when I still owned and bought lots of physical discs, CDs, Depeche Mode released the album Delta Machine. The album came home as soon as it was released. And in with the disc into the CD player. But… what was this? Totally absurd! Surely they must be kidding?! It was completely wrong! The gap between my expectations and what reached my eardrums was way too big. My disappointment with the new album was just as great. So that disc was relegated to the collection, which was eventually sold without the laser noticeably wearing away the surface of that particular silver-shiny disc.
But 10 years later, a thought occurred to me. Hmm… maybe I should give that album a chance and at least listen to it again. No sooner said than done, and now… with my 2023 ears and an expectation that I’m going to listen to something really bad – wow! What an album!
So now, despite a disarmed crew, when they released a new single I was of course curious again. And I was not disappointed this time.
Enjoy!
