Depeche Mode tap into techno and produce their best album in over two decades After a couple of so-so albums in 2009’s Sounds of the Universe and Delta Machine four years later, it would have been easy to look at Depeche Mode as a spent creative force, despite the fact that they’re the last of…

Erről az olasz weboldalról fordíttattam Google Translate-tel:  Depeche Mode speak of evolution, loss of control, of revolution. From the title they try to capture the "spirit" of the time, what in philosophy is called "Zeitgeist". "Spirit" is, in many ways, the most political of the disk group. But…

"After a trilogy of records with producer Ben Hillier, Depeche Mode have changed up and turned to James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Foals) for sonic guidance. The result is their heaviest-sounding album in years, filled with thumping electronics matches to a furious state-of-the-world address which…

Latter day Depeche Mode attempts a tricky balancing act between light and dark; essentially between their command of melodies and their wish to have an age-appropriate gravity. 2013's Delta Machine saw Ben Hillier help them address their mid-life pain in dark post-dubstep.

Ugyanebben…

We’re thrilled to finally report that Depeche Mode are back in the studio. Working with a new producer, the band have just finished the first string of studio sessions on what is to become their 14th album. Sessions began in Santa Barbara on April 12th and wrapped this past weekend. Work will…

Ma 3 éve jelent meg a Hillier-trilógia harmadik (záró?) lemeze, a Delta Machine. A DM-retro sötét és világos oldalának megidézése (Playing The Angel, Sounds Of The Universe) után a harmadik Hiller-lemez inkább Martin kedvenc zenei világainak (techno, blues) megidézése lett:…
