Foreign albums
Depeche Mode: Ultra
Martin Gore walks the thin line between electronic perfection and organic randomness with great accuracy.
Recoil: Unsound Methods
Not to be compared to any Depeche Mode-album. This is Alan Wilder at his own best with strong vocalists such as Douglas McCarthy and Maggie Eteep.
Delerium: Karma
Dreamlike multiethnic sounds gives you the perfect background for those moments of peace you deserve but never gets the time for.
Paradise Lost: One Second
Electrified gothrock. Gives us the best of both worlds.
Project Pitchfork: Chakra: Red!
Very close to life itself. From hard electronic stress to ambient relaxing.

Foreign songs
Rammstein: Engel
Fallen angels does have a certain dark appeal hard to resist...
David Bowie: Dead Man Walking
Grand old Bowie still going strong.
Björk: Bachelorette
Just beautiful.
