Erasure – Supernature (Ltd. Edition UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

R E Q U E S T

“Supernature” is a cover version of Cerrone’s 1977 environmental anthem. The song, also previously recorded by Lene Lovich, led to a collaboration between Erasure and Lovich for the song “Rage”, which later appeared on a PETA benefit album. Erasure’s recording was remixed by severa different remixers and became a popular hit in dance clubs. The song originally appeared as one of two b-side’s for the 1989 single “You Surround Me”.

In the UK “Supernature” was released as a double A side Limited Edition 12″. This single features the rare “Extra “Limited” Remix” of “You Surround Me” as well as two remixes of “Supernature”. None of the remixes have mix titles on the sleeve or labels.

Depeche Mode – Depeche (Megamix) Behind The Mix! (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1989

Released in 1989 this is one of the earlier ON-USound releases. There are two Depeche Mode Megamixes featured here. The mixes are mainly of Depeche Mode’s early work and tracks from “Music For The Masses”.

Depeche Mode are an English electronic music band formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group’s original line-up consisted of Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals, chief songwriter after 1981), Andy Fletcher (keyboards) and Vince Clarke (keyboards, chief songwriter 1980–81). Vince Clarke left the band after the release of their 1981 debut album, Speak & Spell, and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, occasional songwriter) with Gore taking over songwriting. Wilder left the band in 1995; Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher have since continued as a trio.

Depeche Mode have had 48 songs in the UK Singles Chart and twelve top 10 albums in the UK charts, two of which debuted at #1. According to EMI, Depeche Mode have sold over 100 million albums and singles worldwide, making them the most successful electronic band in music history. Q magazine calls Depeche Mode “The most popular electronic band the world has ever known” and included the band in the list of the “50 Bands That Changed The World!”.

In 2010 Depeche Mode were ranked No. 98 on VH1’s list of the 100 greatest artists of all time.
