Is This Desire? 15 Years To PJ Harvey Album

On the 28th of September, 1998, PJ Harvey, the English Alternative Rock singer released her fourth studio album, Is This Desire?. That album came out about three years after her highly acclaimed To Bring You My love and the fans expected her to follow the musical route of its successful previous. Because of those expectations, some of them were pretty disappointed with the fact that PJ Harvey made a record which is more Electronic and atmospheric in comparison to her earlier releases. The reviews were mixed but PJ Harvey was proud in her work, which helped her step towards unknown musical experiments with the help of Flood, Mick Harvey, John Parish and others. 15 years after, this album still sounds fantastic, take a few minutes to listen to five of them

Keep The Faith: 20 Years To Depeche Mode's "Songs Of Faith And Devotion"

On 22 of March, 1993, Depeche Mode released their eighth album called Songs Of Faith And Devotion. As a teenager, it became one of the most inspiring album those days though I can still hear it today and get excited. Songs Of Faith And Devotion was the darkest album recorded yet by Depeche Mode, inspired by American Grunge such as Soundgarden, Nirvana and Jane's Addiction. The harmonious vocals of Dave Gahan and Martin Gore with Andy Fletcher and Alan Wilder (On his last album with the band) made an album who's looking for an answer to one of the modern age hardest question: "Who can we trust in the age of accelerated technology and decline of religion?" They try to figure out whether it's better to go back to Biblical stories (Such as Judas) or the person who tries to judge you (Walking In My Shoes). The legendary producer, Flood, helped them with that album and together they released a unique piece of art . For the 20th anniversary of that great album, it's a good time to remember five songs from back then.
