Dont judge it on first listen...its got an insidious melody that worms its way into your brain and wont let go. Its classic pervy electro mode (it sounds almost Music For The Masses era DM).

"Dave Gahan's voice is as captivating as ever and Martin Gore's songwriting is still in full form..it serves as foolproof evidence that Depeche Mode has no plans for retirement." — FILTER MAGAZINE

NEW YORK, NY - February 20, 2009 — Groundbreaking electro legends Depeche Mode have announced North American cities and dates for their upcoming "Tour Of The Universe," which will mark the group's most extensive outing in the region in several years. Kicking off in Toronto on July 24th, the band's 22-city North American tour will cover both the US and Canada and hit most major markets across the continent (see dates below). Tickets for select markets are set to go on sale on March 13th.

Depeche Mode's "Tour of the Universe" is happening in conjunction with the release of the group's twelfth studio album, Sounds Of the Universe (Mute/Capitol/Virgin), which will be released on April 20th in Europe, and April 21st in North America. Alongside a standard CD format, Depeche Mode has announced that Sounds Of The Universe will also be released as a Special Edition CD+DVD and a Deluxe Box Set that will include a host of exclusive material:

• Three CDs containing the album, bonus songs and remixes, as well as 14 demos available exclusively-- a career first for Depeche Mode.

The DVD will also include the promo video for the album's first single "Wrong" (directed by Patrick Daughters), plus four songs filmed live in the studio in December 2008 and a version of the album the album mixed in DTS 5.1 surround sound

I need to quit dicking around and finally get a 5.1 system for my home. Thank God Depeche Mode doesn't release every album like this.

Sorry kids you don't get to eat this week. Daddy just got the new Depeche Mode box set.

When you buy your first 5.1 system, they also issue you your penis!

Until you actually insert yours into a vagina Jack, I don't want to hear any penis jokes.

HAHAHAHAHAAH! Don't judge on first listen?!?!?!?!?

The very first bars had me 100%! This is classic in Songs of Faith and Devotion which I still think is NOT dated.

This song is an auspicious melody to the new album!!!!

Thanks for posting!
