Semantics won't do

Nouvelle Vague, easy to love mainstream tribute cover band. They seem to really love that kind of music, and they don't show it by wearing mohawks, but by making three records. To make it their music somehow. Music from that era was blamed by uptight British media in the 70's and 80's and was hailed by very young middle class people because it spoke the truth.
My favorite songs are In a matter or speaking and Master and Servant, both originally by Depeche Mode. Also, I can't help not to keep listening All my colors (Echo and the Bunnymen), the Bauhaus and the Clash covers. And there's also the DEAD KENNEDYS cover, the Cure cover and the Sex Pistols cover. And the... I'll stop now...

"In a Matter of Speaking" este de fapt "In a Manner of Speaking" cantata doar de Martin L. Gore. Insa si ea este cover, originalul fiind de Tuxedomoon...

Mersi pentru corectii, manner of speaking chiar mi-a scapat, cu toate ca e una din piesele preferatele mele, lasand deoparte depeche sau martin. second, chiar nu stiam ca in original piesa e de Tuxedomoon.
