Markus started with electronic music in 1993. Starting to deejay with friends at a youth club and illegal parties in Leipzig, he went on spinning techno records till 1997. After a three-year-detour over hip hop - Markus was a DJ of local sound crews - he eventually came back to 4/4 rhythms…

The six Cello Suites, BWV 1007–1012, are suites for unaccompanied cello by Johann Sebastian Bach. They are some of the most frequently performed solo compositions ever written for cello. Bach most likely composed them during the period 1717–1723, when he served as Kapellmeister in Köthen. The title given on the cover of the Anna Magdalena Bach manuscript was Suites à Violoncello Solo senza Basso (Suites for cello solo without bass).

Known by and large for his seemingly inexhaustible supply of lighthearted operas, Gioachino Rossini did not restrict himself to that genre alone. As a boy of only 12 years, he was already accepting commissions to write small chamber works, including the present set of six string sonatas commissioned by the wealthy Agostino Triossi. Triossi was an accomplished amateur double bassist, a fact to which Rossini paid homage by scoring the six sonatas for a quartet made up of two violins, cello, and bass.

The first three box sets devoted to compiling all of Depeche Mode's A- and B-sides were originally issued in 1991. In 2004, when the fourth through sixth sets were issued for the first time, the initial three were reissued. The first box, covering 1981 and 1982, includes the "Dreaming of Me," "New Life," "Just Can't Get Enough," "See You," "The Meaning of Life," and "Leave in Silence" singles. In what would prove to be a regular Depeche Mode practice throughout the years, all of their first six singles involve non-album tracks, along with extended versions and alternate mixes. Each single is packaged individually in a slim jewel case, providing a convenience for hardcore fans.
