It has been exactly twenty two years since Depeche Mode’s Violator was released. Not only is it the perfect pop album, it is also the perfect album for showering.

1. Insert Violator into CD player and press play
2. Listen to the first few bars of World In My Eyes
3. Go to the bathroom and start the shower
4. Undress and get the temperature just right
5. Wash hair, face and body – in that order – whilst listening to Sweetest Perfection and Personal Jesus (the first single)
6. Rinse and turn off the water

7. You should be just in time for the start of Halo
8. Dry yourself and slip into your pajamas
9. You can be comfortably ensconced in front of your hi-fi, by the time Waiting For The Night comes on
10. Stay there and relax, whilst listening to the second and third singles (Enjoy The Silence and Policy Of Truth)
11. Clean the shower or tub, while Blue Dress plays in the background
12. Voila!  Clean (track nine) – and relaxed.
