When a band like Depeche Mode moves their stage from the stadium to an intimate auditorium, this is a special situation. On March 17, Depeche Mode will present songs from their new album "Spirit" to several hundred guests in the broadcast hall of the old GDR Funkhaus in Berlin's Nalepastraße and garnish them with older songs. The closeness that the band allows is highly unusual. But it's revealing.
Progressive, soulful pop at its best is what Mike Rutherford and his Mechanics present at their latest studio work "Let Me Fly". The Genesis-bassist/guitarist Rutherford (66) and singer Andrew Roachford (52) are also in a splendid mood when they talk about the current work.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA - Something Mysterious (4:07)
Album: Amber Galactic (2017)
Label/Distribution: Nuclear Blast/Warner
Twenty Sixty Six And Then existed from 1970 to 1972, a very short period only in the long musical career of singer Geff Harrison. The history and fortunes of 2066AT are highlighted in the eclipsed issue 05/2017. But this is about Geff Harrison, who started with music in the early 60s, moved to Germany and still lives in Hamburg today. His German has a British accent, but is otherwise perfect. It is significant that there is a German Wikipedia entry about him, but no English Wikipedia entry.
