    Nitzer Ebb: Ascend One of my all time favourites: hard as it is, still preserves a nice melody De/Vision: Remember As far as I know, they've never played it live!

Eventhough Precious isn't my all-time favourite, it's my favourite from Playing the Angel, and thus it bring back all the memories from when I first met my girlfriend :)

    I would like the DJs to play Shake The Disease (Tiga remix). For me that song really was the highlight of their 80's Berlin period, and I think that particular remix really captures the mood of the original song without being "too" retro. A perfect remix of a perfect song. And to hear it on a dancefloor in Berlin would be... perfect.

    It's No Good That was the first DM song i heard far in 1997. From that moment a big DM love started. And entire Ultra sound was so magnificent and mystical. Great song, great album, great band!

    In your room (live 93) - great live version Strangelove (Maxi Mix) - I love to dance to it! Useless (Single Version) - great song, single has more power than album version Thank you!

    all right...there must have been some misunderstanding. So the DM songs I would request: Freestate: a superb track and it would have deserved to get released as a single Perfect: one of my favourites from SOTU, yet they just seem to have missed it from the TOTU setlist

  • Sandra

    ok, I would like to request: Happiest Girl (unfortunately played rare) Only when I loose myself (I love the r&b feel)

    heading out to Berlin for my first overseas Mode trip. Can't wait! Why's no one said Work Hard yet?! That'd have to be my choice - it was the b-side to my forst DM single. Second choice would be To Have And To Hold or Corrupt.

    Fragile Tension Best song on SOTU but not on the live Set List.

    Lie To Me: because there s never many songs played with Martin on leadvocals and this is a great dance tune also. Worked fine in Hamburg at the no show party the other day! Corrupt: Too sexy a song to not be played! Everybody sang along in London, great atmosphere. FOTW: just because the anticipation to hear it live the next day will make people go crazy :)

    Stripped (highland mix) - the intro always blows me away, amazing and hauntingly beautiful. Ghost - all of it blows me away, talk about amazing and hauntingly beautiful!! Get the balance right (combination mix) - always remain ultimately selfish...

    In Your Memory: one of the songs written by Master Alan Wilder. There was a higher song for its age :D Ghost: because is my favourite song from this stage of Sounds of the Universe. Greets!

    FLEXIBLE Just because it's one of the worst ever, and still so damn fun, its a must to mix it with Boys Say Go.
