Now that some time has passed is the album holding up? I still love it. Comeback and Little Soul remain in heavy rotation.
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

I'm still listening to it often, esp. Little Soul, Wrong and Corrupt.

Quite a long interview from April, where Andy Fletcher (sort of) describes what he does in the band...

"I’m sort of the man in the background really and these two guys are the main guys but you need that kind of background really."

Depeche Mode resumed their 'Tour of the Universe' on Monday June 8th in Leipzig, Germany following singer Dave Gahan's recent illness. They followed up their return with a spectacular 65,000 sell out success in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium on June 10th, and their European summer tour will now continue as per the original schedule.
CANCELLED SHOWS
Unfortunately, Depeche Mode are not able to reschedule 8 of the cancelled shows due to scheduling conflicts. Despite efforts to find a window in which to reschedule these dates, it has proven unfeasible to do so.
The eight cancelled shows are:
May 12th - Athens Terra Vibe
May 14th - Istanbul Santral Istanbul
May 16th - Bucharest Parc Izvor
May 18th - Sofia Vasil Levski Stadium
May 20th - Belgrade USCE Park
May 23rd - Warsaw Gwardia Stadium
May 25th - Riga Skonto Stadium
May 27th - Vilnius Zalgirio Stadionas
Ticket holders should return their tickets to the point of purchase for a refund.
RESCHEDULED SHOWS
Depeche Mode have been able to reschedule the 4 shows listed below, which are indoor venues, for later in the year.
These rescheduled shows are:
May 21st - Zagreb Arena
May 30th - London O2 Arena
June 4th - Dusseldorf LTU Arena
June 5th - Dusseldorf LTU Arena
Information regarding the new, rescheduled dates will be announced shortly. More time is required to resolve venue availability and routing issues, before new dates can be announced. Ticket holders are advised to hold onto to their original tickets, which will be valid for the rescheduled shows.
THE BAND WOULD LIKE TO REASSURE FANS THAT THEY ARE 100% COMMITTED TO REPLAYING THESE 4 SHOWS AND ASK FANS TO BEAR WITH THEM A LITTLE LONGER UNTIL THE NEW DATES CAN BE RESOLVED.
Depeche Mode would like to apologise to their fans for any inconvenience this has caused and thank them for their support and patience during this time.
Also, as previously advised in a statement issued on May 28th: -
The shows below have already been rescheduled.
June 2nd - Hamburg HSH Nordbank Arena
This show has been rescheduled to July 1st, 2009. All original tickets remain valid for this new rescheduled date.

Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.
Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

After being a bit disappointed by SoTU at the start, I've given it the cleaning and car tests recently and have to agree that it's a grower.
Top three at the mo. are, Hole to Feed, Corrupt and Wrong.
Jezebel is fantastic. I often shy away from Martin Gore's ballady songs a bit but this is
a great one. I keep being reminded of Bryan Ferry. It just generally has a very old feel to it.
Peace, has also grown on me. Though I wonder if the M. Gore reprise on that was necessary. Same goes for all those older songs he sings on the extra disc. Walking in My Shoes Kindergarten Remix is awful.
Can't wait to hear them live!

Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.

I don't get what you mean.
