DM .WAV interviews

These .WAV files are from an interview with Dave Gahan for a Dutch radio station : Hilversum 3, that was broadcast on the 10th of march 1990. The interviewer was speaking Dutch, and since not many Dutch/Belgian people visit this page (i think) and also to save some space, Stefan Moernaut translated the speakers words.(These files were originally on Stefan's pages, but he didn't have enough space to keep them there.)
