I came across Covenant in October 2004.
I had bought a Pet Shop Boys Album at Amazon.de and Amazon came up with a commercial saying that I might like Covenant. I read a few reviews and found out that they were even compared to Kraftwerk, a band which I adore very much.
I selected the Synergy - live album, because I thought it is something like a 'best of' with the energetic mood of live-albums. And it was.
Normally, I try not to be a slave to capitalism and commercials, but in the case with Covenant, I was and it prooved to be good.
