My piano and voice cover of one of my favourite 80s songs written by the incredible Martin Gore. Shake The Disease by Depeche Mode

Shake The Disease

That dark night of the soul, your back against the wall and in fromt of you the bottomless abyss. No Way out, no way back... one more step is all it takes... no choices... no options... endless night... but then...
A shining light of love and life guides you away from the drop and shows you the way home. Comforting, warming and guiding. 
We all wear a mask.
Wr all hide our fears 
Let minorscales take you behind the facade...

Behind the Facade – Final Form

I grew up with Soft Cell. 
I first caught up with Marc and Dave's incredible music at the end of the duos initial career around 1984, when I was at the tender age of 12. 
I then worked backwards over their catalogue over the next few years. 
The band cemented their place in my consciousness along with the other synth acts at the time.
But there was always something that separated Soft Cell's music even from the likes of the mighty Depeche Mode.
Thinking back on it now I think it's actually two things:
Marc's kitchen sing drama lyrics which were very different to the other acts at the time, and of course, Dave Balls often quite unusual arrangements. 
Fast forward back to now and the sad, sad news of Dave's passing at a far too young age. 
We at MinorScales wanted to mark his passing in some small measure.
So here is our version of my favourite Soft Cell song. 
Sit back and enjoy our interpretation of Say Hello Wave Goodbye.

Goodbye — Tribute to Orwar

This version is for the man who managed what no system, no diagnosis and no structure around me back then could do.

Orwar Lindwall saw a young, restless, explosive 11-year-old who had just moved from Göteborg to Vallentuna — and instead of trying to quiet me, he learned how to channel me. He didn’t suppress the energy. He formed it. He shaped it. He turned it into precision, intention and discipline.

He led me away from the paths where several of my friends later disappeared.
He opened a door to something bigger — something I could grow inside.

He coached me all the way to my breakthrough.
And when it happened, he didn’t just congratulate me from the side.
He followed me out in the world.
Travelled abroad with me.
Stood by the piste right behind me — reading every micro change in my body posture, breathing and focus — and gave me the presence I trusted more than anything.

Orwar passed away recently, due to the age finally catching up with him.
This ambient version of Goodbye carries both loss and deep gratitude — because everything he built in me still lives forward.

The discipline.
The direction.
The belief in what I could become before I could even see it myself.

Goodbye Orwar.
You changed my life — and that never fades.

Special Guesst Ft. Joey Nova - Plug You

Set fire to the rain dmak

Earliest vocal for O's song track.  Trying on Bowie's lyrical clothes --surprisingly fluid lines.  Wacky one-liners in series.
