  4. Alright. Looking forward to the hearing the entire album.
  5. Not crazy about this yet. But Depeche are known for obscure first single choices , and I love them for it haha.
  6. like it, hope it will be a great album like the one of Elbow
  7. I love this! Hope the album will have more songs like this. Last albumst weren't that enjoyable..
  8. it's a solid depeche mode tune, nothing outstanding. given the times we're in, this was the obvious single choice... am hoping for some more smashing tracks on the album though
  9. I thought Angel was pretty dope, last time around. i was thrilled that they teased Delta Machine with it. Then they chose Heaven which was good but so sooo slow for a first single. I kinde see the humor in their zere fucks attitude towards choosing a radio friendly single.

    Delta machine on itself was pretty enjoyable live. No complaints honestly.
  10. "Depeche Mode paid tribute to Bowie at a special concert they recently recorded at New York City's High Line public park. They filmed the performance – which they did without an audience and which included several songs from Spirit – with just a drum machine and Gore on guitar, and they capped it with a cover of Bowie's "Heroes." "I was so moved, I barely held it together, to be honest," Gahan says. "Martin listened to 'Heroes' once it was mixed and randomly told me, 'Wow, that was really fucking good.' And I said, 'Yeah, it was, wasn't it?'"

    Although Depeche Mode have not yet decided how they will release this film, Gahan is eager for people to see the whole thing and especially "Heroes."
  11. the video's out and I'm loving it
  12. It kinda reminds me of "Peace" from SOTU.
