<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-GB">After seeing his favourite Band Erasure
perform in London in 2014 Neil Francis made his way to the tube and while
waiting on the platform he just started singing Erasure’s “A little respect”
with everyone present joining in. A mobile phone recorded clip of Neil’s
impromptu acapella rendering of the classic track made it onto youtube where it
has been watched by a global audience over 20 million times, which turned Neil
into a youtube sensation.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">But the story doesn’t end there – he has now
recorded with Erasure’s support act Shelter and others and is well on the way to becoming a thought after singer himself. Recently Neil sang at a ’30 years
Erasure’ party where Erasure’s Andy Bell himself showed up and Andy & Neil
sang “A little respect” together on stage that night.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoBodyText">
<span lang="EN-GB">Greek all female synth duo Marsheaux has
been a revered musical outlet since its inception in 2003. There is something
very unique about them which is especially true considering that they have recorded
quite a number of cover versions of iconic electronic music gems.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Now they have re-worked an entire album:
Depeche Mode’s 1982 album “A broken frame”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Apart from its award-winning cover, <i>A broken
frame </i>was nowhere near its predecessor <i>Speak & Spell</i>. Shortly
after the aformementioned S+S album their main songwriter Vince Clarke had left
to subsequently enrich the world with his creations Yazoo, The Assembly and,
most notably, Erasure, who are celebrating their 30<sup>th</sup> anniversary
this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">In 82 Depeche had to find their feet musically
and, although there are some hidden gems on <i>A broken frame</i> , it is not
one of their better ones and, in retrospect, gives little indication that
Depeche Mode would one day become the cultural phenomenon that they are today. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">So, perhaps an overhaul was long overdue –
Marsheaux certainly gave it new life (no pun intended) as they put a 21<sup>st</sup>
century stamp on the songs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">We put five questions to Marianthi Melitsi and
Sophie Sarigiannidou aka Marsheaux and here is their response:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">1) what
prompted you to record your own version of Depeche Mode's 'A broken frame' ?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We love
this album a lot. We like its melancholic and romantic mood. We strongly
believe that it’s a really dark album and of course, it’s the most underrated of
all of their albums although all the tracks are little diamonds. All Depeche
mode fans think the same way. We did a lot of covers in the past but that was a
bit different. We wanted to cover an entire album, even the artwork. Someone
told us that we moved the standards for tribute albums very high and that was
the best compliment we got.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">2) If you
could freely pick, what band would you love to tour with?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Not easy to
answer.... There are too many.... But Sparks comes first in mind, Orchestral
Manoeuvres In The dark of course, Mylene Farmer and Erasure and may many more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">3) what is
the best thing about being in marsheaux?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">That we do
music, music that we love. Another good thing is that we turned our hobby into
a profession, and that we have the time to work on our music. We travel the
world, we meet people. We' ve met most of our heroes and with some of them we
have collaborated. We are really happy with what we do.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">4) what was
your best selling album to date?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The German
edition of Peek A Boo. Lumineux Noir was also a big seller for our greek
company Undo Records.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">5) what do
you think of electro pioneers Kraftwerk?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB">
</span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 37.5pt; margin-top: 7.5pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We always
say that Depeche Mode are the princes and Kraftwerk are the kings of electronic
music. They transformed electronic music and gave it the today’s shape.
Kraftwerk's distinctive sound was revolutionary, and has directly influenced
all the electronic acts that followed (and not only). We red somewhere that
Kraftwerk might be "the most influential group in pop history" and we
totally agree. RESPECT! Also we strongly believe that Ralf and Florian were
extraterrestrials. Karl and Wolfgang were just their ambassadors, their link
with us. We believe the same for ABBA as well. All these cant be human. </span><span style="color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10.0pt;">Its impossible! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">There are very few instruments so iconic that their name rings a bell with musicians across the globe. The MELLOTRON certainly is one such instrument. Made famous by artists such as Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Genesis, The Moody Blues, Kraftwerk and The Beatles (to name but a few) it will live on forever on the records of the aforementioned artists. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But for one man that just wasn’t good enough! POEM’s Thomas Janak talks to “Mister Mellotron Germany” Klaus Hoffmann – Hoock about the Mellotron and Memotron, the 21<sup>st</sup> century version of the legendary instrument.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="cloudcast-text-description" itemprop="description">Peter Ebbinghaus, Cedric Garschagen and Stephan Brosch are the team behind “Soundtracks and trailer music” and as such provide a platform to aspiring film score composers- and producers. They highlight artists from around the world and give soundtracks and music composed for trailers the attention they deserve. POEMs Thomas Janak talked to the three gentlemen about their love for film music, how soundtracks and trailer music came about and much more.</span><br />

<span class="cloudcast-text-description" itemprop="description">“Welcome To The Robots” concerns itself with the history of electronic dance music in the early 80s. The first edition of the CD series WELCOME TO THE ROBOTS holds a selection of “Electro-Pioneers” on 2 CDS. These Electro-Pioneer productions were not about verses and classical arrangements, but rather instrumental pieces with voices and samples, which were used as sound effects. Putting surreal — and oftentimes melodious— computer sounds together in danceable rhythms was the main focus of the Electro-Pioneers. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="cloudcast-text-description" itemprop="description">The idea and the realization of WELCOME TO THE ROBOTS comes from Raphael Krickow, known for being part of the internationally successful DJ duo “The Disco Boys”. POEM’s Thomas Janak talked to Raphael about all the things mentioned here and more. Due to a technical error (recorder didn’t work first time round) parts of the conversation may sound a bit rushed but we wanted to make sure that all the information you would need and derserve to get you would get! </span><br />

In the early 1980’s Robert Marlow enjoyed great success with songs like “Calling all destroyers” and “The face of Dorian Grey”. His “Blackwing Sessions” album received rave reviews and POEM’s Thomas Janak had a chance to talk to Robert about his career and possible future releases. In this down-to-earth conversation Robert talks about his performances, his life and music.

<span class="cloudcast-text-description" itemprop="description">On today's show we briefly talk to Jon Anderson, the voice of YES, who has also worked with Vangelis, Kitaro to name but a few. His positive and spiritual outlook helped him create amazing pieces of music. The conversation also touches on the songwriting process, falsetto and today's charts. This episode of POEM features some of his greatest work as well as highlighting songs by Kitaro and Vangelis. (Note: There are some minor drop-outs (moments of silence), which can happen when large files get compressed to mp3 but they only last a few seconds.) </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Basproductions once again celebrates the heritage of Basildon by putting on BAS 13, a three day festival celebrating all things Depeche Mode while not forgetting good old Vince Clarke. POEM’s Thomas Janak talked to one of the organisers, Gary Clark, a Basildon native who also happened to be a tour manager on the 2008 Yazoo Reconnected tour, about the amazing BAS13 festival and much more besides. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
