While we’re on the subject, I’ve been thinking about that very question, because there are quite a few.

Sometimes it’s a song that resonated deeply with me in high school which didn’t just show up on multiple mixtapes (and was played deafeningly loud on my Walkman at night) but also made repeat appearances on writing soundtracks and was quoted in some of my juvenilia…

…or an obscure non-album single I discovered in the bargain bin at a K-Mart and fell in love with…

…or a deep cut that gets stuck in my head for days at a time, and also serves as a perfect point where DM and Yazoo intersect thanks to Vince Clarke…

…or another deep track where they are at their most German-inspired industrial…

…or a song that displays their ability to be both romantic and unsettling at the same time…

…and oh yeah, even some of their new tracks retain the band’s ability to be creepy…

…or mysterious…

…or have the uncanny knack of writing a catchy song about dark subjects like mortality.

So yeah, I have a lot to work with here. This is by no means a complete list, as I know I skipped at least five other songs I wanted to add. I’m really looking forward to revisiting this band once again!
