The Obligatory Depeche Mode thread

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

Aren't they more drool-able than the Bunnymen?

Wonder if Mac's jealous of Dave & the guys just as he's jealous of Bono.

Just as they'll never be another Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price or Jimi Hendrix, they'll never be another DM. Would you say that about the Bunnymen?

Bunnymen or DM?

I am not ashamed of my Dave and Martin pics.
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

an Italian link on FB quoted the SOTU DVD will be available to other countries soon & the calendar for 2011 is out.

Likewise, Alan Wilder's Recoil project heating up w/ another factor.
When he performed in February with them, he should've just came back. Fact.

X2.

Recoil sounds like it would be good if Gore were there to help Wilder out a bit.
Same for Gore on the last DM cd- he could have sued Wilder.

Precious is an amazing song. How does an old band keep making powerful songs? Write one about the effects of your divorce on your kids.

Mute EMI are set to celebrate 30 years of Depeche Mode in 2011 with the release of a new remix compilation according to website Home.


Inspired in part by the remix bonus CD of 2004's '81-04' (that featured stunning reworkings of Mode gems by the likes of Goldfrapp and Rex The Dog), Mute Emi have already reportedly lined-up some contemporary faves for this new release.

Inspirational New York act Yeah Yeah Yeahs - whose single 'Zero' was voted Single of The Year by NME readers in 2009 - are already linked to the new Mode project along with festival giants Arcade Fire (who admitted to one or two Mode nods on their recent long player 'The Suburbs').

Long term Mode admirer and frontman of The Killers... Brandon Flowers will also be lending a hand to one of the mixes.

Perhaps most exciting for all the Modeheads out there is the news that both Alan Wilder and Sir Vince Clarke will be doing some much welcome mixing for this latest Mode release.

Vince has already confirmed on Twitter that he has completed his remix of 1988's pumping 'Behind The Wheel' whilst Alan has given ' depth and fullness' to SOTU's 'In Chains'

The tracklisting and sleeve art for this 30th anniversary remix project are all likely to be confirmed very shortly.

The Home website also reports on recent comments from Fletch to a European newspaper whilst promoting the 'Tour Of The Universe: Live In Barcelona' Blu-ray DVD.
'We'll be back in the studio in a few months,' said Fletch and this news is better than Christmas.

Despite some oddly lukewarm reactions from some Mode fans towards 2009's 'Sounds of The Universe', we always thought it was a definite grower that got better with repeated plays.


The album also bucked the trend of declining CD sales by going on to sell over 2 million units worldwide whilst also receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Album...not bad for a band who are fast approaching their 30th anniversary.

Don't expect the Speak & Spell / A Broken Frame tour of shit venues anytime soon.
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Depends who does them I think. There are some amazing DM remixes down the years...starting with the "Combination Mix" of Get The Balance Right in 83 right through to some of the SOTU remixes. I have a great ipod playlist of DM mixes - every one is amazing.

I must admit though some (well alot recently) have been pants.

Did not see Wilder was involved. If the recommended remixes are on itunes, I'll give them a shot.

Here are the ones I would recommend...

The 80's

Get The Balance Right (Combination Mix) - helped invent dance music
Everything Counts (In Larger Ammounts)
People Are People (Different Mix) - became the live version it's that good
Master & Servant (Slavery Whip Mix)
Stripped (Highland Mix)
Behind The Wheel (Shep Pettibone 12" Mix)

The 90's and beyond

World In My Eyes (Mode To Joy)
Halo (Goldfrapp Mix)
Walking In My Shoes (Random Carpet Mix)
Barrel Of A Gun (Underworld Soft Mix) - mindblowingly brilliant
Useless (The Kruder & Dorfmeister Session) - see above
Little 15 (Ulrich Schnauss Mix)
Precious (Sashas Gargantuan Vocal Mix)
A Pain That I'm Used To (Jacques Lu Cont Remix)
Suffer Well (Narcotic Thrust Vocal Dub)
Wrong (Trentmoller Club Remix)
Perfect (Roger Sanchez Club Mix)

Of course your enjoyment of the 90's onwards material depends upon your feelings towards modern dance and house music. But no one can dislike the Underworld Soft Mix (just don't mix it up with the Hard Mix which is horrible!).
