The Obligatory Depeche Mode thread

We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

That is fucking disturbing...but really quite brilliant!
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

$86.00 huh?

That's $11.00 more than I paid for the Joy Division box set which at the time was billed as every studio recording the band ever made. I guess the joke was on those record labels!

I dont think I can morally justify sixty quid for an album, a cardboard box, some photos, a few remixes and a dvd. Even if it is from the best band in the world, ever.

A lot of the videos might pop up on youtube and the songs emailed mp3s.

Feb 2009

As one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era with global sales in excess of 100 million, Depeche Mode will return in the Spring with their 12th studio album - 'Sounds Of The Universe.'

This Deluxe Box Set contains the 'Sounds Of The Universe' album CD, a second disc including brand new bonus tracks and remixes of new songs and a third CD with an exclusive collection of demos, from both the new album and songs from throughout Depeche Mode's career.

The Box Set DVD includes three films, the promo video for first single 'Wrong' (directed by Patrick Daughters), the album and five bonus tracks in 5.1 surround sound, plus four songs filmed live in the studio in December 2008.

The two-piece, custom made box also contains two 84-page hardback books, one featuring the lyrics to all the songs from the 'Sounds Of The Universe' sessions, accompanied by exclusive photography by Anton Corbijn and the second contains exclusive and candid studio photography by Daniel Miller, Ben Hillier, Luke Smith and Ferg Peterkin.

I love that that tune stays totally thumping all the way through - so simple.
It always aggravates me when a song like that takes some weird turn like the god awful keyboard solo in "The Time Of The Season" by the Zombies or the flute/chat interlude in "Nights In White Satin" by Moody Blues.
