Whew.. it just blew me away. <em>Prologue<\/em> is a compilation (1996 &#8217;til 2004) with new mixes. It keeps playing on and on on my stereo. The low pitched voice, slow beats and emotional lyrics are just way too good. It&#8217;s like a perfect evolution of 80&#8217;s music. Songs like <em>So tell the girls (2004)<\/em>, <em>Automatic lover<\/em>, <em>Suddenly<\/em> and <em>On the radio<\/em> are just perfect mixes of the best from aha, new order, talk talk and kraftwerk. <\/p>\n<p>I am truly addicted.
