Thank you so much for adding me! I glad to hear this magnificent music, I in love with your The Sun before the darkness - true luxury for my rough soul! From Sofia - with love!
Watching "Wings Of Desire" the other day and the mesmerizing performance by Crime I couldn't help to ask for friendship. That film still fascinates me after all these years. I found out (quite late indeed) that Solveig Dommartin had sadly passed away, it made me feel really sad.
"Just South Of Heaven" and "Shine" are good testimonies of Crime in that epoch. I still love those records ;-)
