View Full Version : Depeche Mode
Oooh...No one have wrote about Depeche Mode!
Come on.They are huge.But not very like AV,thought many people say so.Is there any similaries between them?No.
DM voice...it´s soo cool...:)
I´m your best friend-the dream
Well, the first thing that I've noticed when
I entered this forum was a lack of DM .
Lets face it : DM are number 1 ( With all
the respect to the AMAZING Alphaville ).
I'm addicted for many many years .
Dave's vocal is simply supernatural
(Marian's also). Martin's lyrics and melody
are addicting - and they mature every album .
When I hear Dave live on a 93 Devotional tour
" Let me put you on a ship - on a long long trip - your lips close to my lips - ... let me show you the world in my eyes " my heart melts .
I'm really looking forward for their next album around March - must be perfect .
A must for every Pop-Gothic-Whatever fans
(You guys). DM influenced many of the greatests bands . I'm sure that Marian learned a lot from those three .
I'm in the mood to
touch the fire .
Hey!!Here is AV no: 1...Maybe not in other places,but here they are the best. And for every Utopian they are the best forever.
I´m your best friend-the dream
Come'on . We are both addicted to AV, my stereo plays AV all day long non-stop, I just said that MY no.1 band will always be
DM, I grew up on DM, I sprayed "DM" on walls, wrote it on the desks at school,
but it my personal opinion, every one has
his liberty in our jet set society :)
I really liked Depeche Mode back in the eightees, but I´m not so fund of the way they have changed during the ninetees. I must say that they (as one of very few eightees bands) have managed to stay "big" after the eightees, so they must do something right in terms of changing to please the young generation which are the ones that buys the most records.
But for me - Alphaville are the best!!!!!
No no no...
AV is no: 1..now and forever.
I´m your best friend-the dream
Well, I can only say that in my opinion
the "86-98 DM" is way better than the
"81-85 DM" . Touched by god . The music
they make now - the "Ultra style" - is
very mature, highest level available .
They are very different from AV, and the
only reason that many DM fans are also AV
fans and vice versa (!) is that both bands
are top quality .
"The sweetest perfection" . :)
I'm in the mood to
touch the fire .
I was a huge DM fan for many years. In my teenage years I had so many DM posters on my walls, that you couldn´t see the actual walls ! Now, I don´t like them that much, I mean their new music, and new for me is in the 90´s - I still love their work from 1981-90, but after Violater it went downhill, and Ultra is a depressing piece of work, except "it´s no good", which is actually good, but the 80´s were so much better - what a great time we had, and 6 concerts, first time in april 1986 - the Black Celebration Tour.

"get the balance right" and "everything counts" is DM peak to me. But i still like them a lot.
I think that you prefer DM earlier songs
because it than was pure S-Pop, now it's
not something which can be defined as a
Synthpop . But it's great .
When I bought it on 97 I didn't like Ultra
except for It's No Good , after I played it
many times I began to adore this creation and
It's No Good wasn't even the most favorite!

Most AV fans love DM. Im probably the only one who dosent love them. I dont hate them, i just think that they are higly overrated.
I don´t love DM..they´re good,but nothing more.
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
Here I am going to get smashed into pieces for this, But I like Camouflage better than DM
Ok, throw it all at me and punish me for liking Camouflage better, I can take it hehe
Trent
Trent...We aren´t evil here...*hehe*
I like many bands better then DM, I don´t think they are something special...
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
Camouflage are in my top list, right after
DM , next to Alphaville and A-HA ( and an
endless list of synth bands ... ) .
and we know that we know what we know
is it truth?
DM are great! no question about it. BUT!! after one hole record of DM you don't really wanna put another on! <img src=icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle> With AV you can hear another record after another. So in my eyes AV are better than DM! ( but let's not talk about A-ha or Duran Duran in this matter, co's they would win over AV any time <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> but then again that's my opinion not yours!)
It Is Coming Soon, So *ucking Soon, I Cannot Wait Any Longer !
hope you know what i'm talking about.

Avihai : any chance they will come here...?
+ if you'll have an easy job (not KRAVY or something) you can do the same thing that my cousin did - he wanted to go to France to visit some friends so he told the army that he has to go to a family event.
it took a lot of effort and "games" but he did it :)
I got a letter from the army today - my service will start on April 3rd (instead of April 4th) <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Just so everyone knows the new DM single Dream On will be released April 23rd! The album Exciter will be released on March 14th!
(March 15th for North America)
The tour will start in North America in June or July and it is reported (though not confirmed) that they will be in Germany in September/October. Though don't take anything I just said about the tour as final because nothing is confirmed.
You can actually download a clip pf Dream On from www.depechemode.com. More clips will be added every Friday! (a 50 second clip will be up this friday)
As you can tell I LOVE Depeche Mode. I think they are hugely underrated and I love them best when they are dark and sensual : ) Songs of Faith and Devotion is my favourite album. I also think I'm one of very few who adores Freestate off of Ultra. I love the lyrics though, that's why.
Tara : Þ
...I can't wait for the tour!!!!
Welcome mate ! I see we both have DM blood type !
oh, count me in !
specially in my teen years I was a bloody fantatic with DM, had so many posters in my room that you couldnīt see the walls or ceiling. I had a jacket with DM in the back...!
lots of concerts and lots of fun - canīt wait to see them again this year, and maybe this time I will meet them, I just established some good contacts - he, he <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Please don't forget to get me a signature on something willy !
But hey...which is your favourite DM song..
For me it must be..hm...A questions of lust...
*heard it five times in a row today*
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
Five in a row ? wow !
I cannot choose a fav song, they're all too good to be true .
Itīs one of the best songs Iīve ever heard!
But not every DM songs is like that one.
In fact,I think that most DM songs is boring...sorry avihai...

I had the lucky opportunity to hang out with Martin Gore and Fletch in 1998 in Chicago. They're incredibly nice! So I hope those of you who want to meet them (willy, avihai) will get your chance this tour. Do you guys have the Four Seasons hotel chain in Europe?
Cause that's the trick...heh. : Þ
My fav DM song? Hmm..tough, but probably In Your Room.
Tara : )
I won't be able goto the tour !!! <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_dissapprove.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_blackeye.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_evil.gif border=0 align=middle>
I'll be in the stupid army for three years !
ok, i may be impopular for this, but I can't see what makes DM so good.
i like "just can't get enough", cause it's so naive :), but then I think the music is dark...
Dingerz
31 Jan 2001, 18:53
Oh god, everythign makes DM so good! The lyrics are amazing and baeutiful, and David's voice in incredibly sensual. I LOVE dark music..the more minor key, the better.
On the other hand, I quite hate Just Can't Get Enough. It's cheesy, immature, and does not give anyone any idea as to who DM are. (it was written by Vince Clarke and he of course left the band in 81!!) I appreciate JCGE for what it is - and I don't expect any new songwirters to produce mature songs immediately, but JCGE just hits a certain nerve because when a lot of ppl think "DM" they think JCGE - and JCGE does not sound anything like what DM did in the next 18 years of their career...
Try out Songs of Faith and Devotion!! Now that's DM.. Or of course, Black Celebration or Ultra.
Tara : )
avihai...Iīm so sorry for U...
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
Tara : I can't believe it ! We think the same ! I already discussed with the guys about DM, somehow they like the early years,
For me, when Vince Clarke left it was the best thing that happen to the mature DM, I didn't
like the 81-85 as i like the 86-98 !
What makes DM is the understanding between
David and Martin . Dave can translate Martin's feelings into vocals, and his vocals are amazing, they express feelings, especially with that deep amazing sensual voice in songs like : Clean or all the songs from F&D .
I also think that Ultra is one of DM's best it's simply so special I can hear it forever. I Like the change in ultra and would like to hear how will DM return to the First really good album - Black Celebration, in Exciter .
btw - Enjoy The Silence was the song who started it all for me, without it I'd not know today who's dm or av or camou or ...
Sincerely,
Avihai.
Itīs a question of luuuuuust,
itīs a question of truuuuuust,
itīs a question of not letting what weīve buuuuuilt up crumble to duuuust...
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
It's all these things and more that keep us together ...
LETS HAVE A BLACK CELEBRATION TONIGHT !

"I see we got a full moon, special for tonight ! "
Do you know where is it from ? ( for DM pros )
Dingerz
03 Feb 2001, 22:55
It's from their July 31st Crystal Palace concert of 1993. It also happens to be one fo the best sounding bootlegs (Enjoy The Rumours) I have this concert on video if you'd like it Avihai!
Tara : )
YES SIR ! Enjoy The Roumors ( KTS )! Great DM knowledge !!!
It is one hell of a bootleg with an AAAMMMMAAAAZZZZIIINNNNGGG performance of Enjoy The Silence ( remind me of the FY on the SNAAL ), just listen to the sound of the crowd !
What's the name of the video ?
Do you have something interesting (bootlegs,maxis,"12) of the boys ???
Dingerz
04 Feb 2001, 20:05
I'm a huge collector of DM. I have every official UK and US release as well as a majority of all the promos, both CD and 12"
(I love vinyl!!) I've been collecting for 10 years though, so it's been a long while.
I probably have one of the largest video collections of Depeche Mode in the world. But that's cause I'm a videoaholic and I love to trade for these neat appearances. I've spent the last five years accumulating all these TV appearences by trading with DM fans off mailing lists and message boards. I think I have over 90 hours of Depeche Mode on video. If you want me to send you my list, just let me know! It's a huge hobby of mine - collecting TV appearances by them. With the invention of the net, it got a lot easier to trade worldiwde to get a hold of these things. That's why I want to get my hands on the Alphaville videos! I absolutely love collecting videos/TV apperances. You learn a lot from them, and it's neat to actually see the band in action. It kind of bridges the actual physical absence. For example, I'd love to get my hands on a boot of an Alphaville concert because I've never had the opportunity to see them live : ( So at least it would give me an idea!
But that's the nest thing about videos, which is why I like to collect them.
Tara : )
Oooooh, I would like to have 90 hours with AV...*hehehe*
*I´m your best friend-the dream*
Tara : I'm more interested in music cd's,
good "rare" stuffs like good mixes or live performances ?
Dingerz
05 Feb 2001, 02:23
I've sent you my audio/bootleg list for DM avihai! Also, if anyone is looking for anything DM just ask me as I found out that Willy was looking for boots too. I'll dub for anyone who needs things. : )
(I have the Bridgehoue boot but it's on cassette - I'll try to get it on cd though since that's better - just give me a few weeks!)

07 Feb 2001, 23:28
Is that cause of some copyright or something?
I've had the pic for ages, but that's the only place I could think of that had that pic posted on the web as opposed to being passed from fan to fan via e-mail as a joke.
What I really need is some bandwidth to just upload pics to post..hehe... It's a lot harder having to post pics that are online seeing I don't have a webpage. One day I am going to have to sit my arse down and just do one. I'd probably have a ton of fun with it.
But it all comes down to time...
Tara : Þ

For all the Depeche Mode fans (like myself) out there, download samples from their upcoming album here:

There is this song called World in my eyes or something. I think that these lyrics is very...hm...sexistic...understand?

the new album "Exiter" sounds great,and still electronic...but like AV they are still giants in electronic pop...
syntetico
After listening to all the samples from upcoming album I must say: This is really good ! Depeche Mode seems to be back in the old style, but with a new feel to it. Much better than Ultra, which I didnīt like that much ! Canīt wait for the album <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Have DM released their album yet?

No, Avil, Depeche Mode's album is coming out May 14th and it's called Exciter. The single is coming out April 23rd and it's called Dream on.
You can download clips of each song as well as view the lyrics to the new album on www.depechemode.com. That's where people are hearing it.
Tara : )
OK itīs great to know...
When the album is released I will go to the shop and listen to it.
Hopefully itīs much better than their latest...

26 Feb 2001, 22:48
Yup, it's Dream On! But be careful if downloading it off of Napster cause in between the few real ones are a billion fake ones. And the one that is real is a cruddy radio recording - just keep that in mind.
I always love DM lyrics :)
As your bony fingers close around me
Long and spindly
Death becomes me
Heaven can you see what I see
The rumour is that DM are starting their tour here in Toronto, I hope it's true!!

OH MY GOD!!!!
I heard Exciter last night and I'm going to hear it891364016501 times today. Alright, yes I did tell you that DM"s first single never is characteristic of the rest of the album. I don't know why they do that.
Cause I'll tell you one thing - Dream On does not sound ANYTHING like the rest of the album and in fact, the Dream On you heard sounds MUCH different then the one on the album!
The one bradcast of KROQ was a special edit and the quality (now that I have the album) SUCKS!!!
The album is more upbeat than Ultra and you would NEVER be able to predict what it sounds like. maaaaaaaan, I'm going to go listen to it again!!! I know that doesn't tell you much but my god, this is the oddest, weirdest coolest album DM has ever done.
Tara : )
My god, here we have a crazy girl...*lol*
But if itīs true what youīre saying, Iīm sure going to buy this album when it comes.

SHINE
When The Body Speaks
I Feel Loved
(total dancy song - you like Enjoy The Silence? Check this one out!!!)
Freelove
I am You
And for the WEIRDEST dm song ever doen in DM history:
Dead of Night
------> very um, Manson like (Marilyn Manson) I don't know how else to describe it!! But it's dark, neat!!
Tara : )
Does it take a long time to download?
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-

OPINIONS
--------
EXCITER ! I got no idea why people said it's a Black Celebration like, definately nop, it's a new calm Ultra- very romantic album, but not an album that goes with live performance, it doesn't have a dance-able hit (or two).
Personally I like it, but that's not fair coz I'll like DM even if they will perform BSB's songs :)
Martin should've written another "it's no good" for this album to come out with good bsides remixes and a videoclip, so that DM will be able to gain new fans, a next generation of us.
I got no idea how the promotional ver. got into the net but, hey! now I don't have to wait for two months and I'll buy the album anyway so who caress ??

Avihai - it DOESN'T have a dancable hit? What about I Feel Loved??? That is actually a DANCE song!! This could be a huuuuge hit - remix it a bit, then slap it on the radio :)
And I think that a lot of the songs are really really "theatrical" In the sense that you could make a stage show out of this album. I have never felt that way about a DM album - that's it's theatrical. Also, it has such a new "up to date" and "hip" sound that it has extreme potential to pull a whole new fanbase. I didn't feel that with Ultra. Ultra was for the core fans, Exciter is for well..anyone!
This album just rocks. It's my 2nd fav DM album of all time. (behind SOFAD of course)
Willy - I have been insanely busy in the last few days and well now I have to go to work for 10 hours. I am home tomorrow so I'll be at the chat. I will then send you the mp3's!
Unless someone else did, but in any case, let me know!
Tara : )
Tara:
I still think that ULTRA is the best album of electoric pop and mode's greatest, ofcourse all the others are great competators :)
I Feel Loved got faster beats yet it's not catchy enough to become another "Enjoy the silence" or "it's no good" . Not even close,
it should be remixed to a bside.
Dream On might do the job if it will appear on MTV (fanatic me, I don't wanna see DM on mtv, they're to good for that).
Maybe Exciter is like Ultra - you need to "learn" it well, then it becomes your fav.
I think Ultra is too "hard" fro DM...
Not really them...

Thanks Willy! I hadn't heard this one before. Then again there are sooooooo many remixes out there!!
I heard a bootleg remix of Here is The House at a club here in Toronto once and it was amazing. (it was incredibly dancy and it didn't sound amateur!) But I haven't been able to find it yet...
By the way - did anyone ever send you the new DM mp3's?

When The Body Speaks...amazing....

Yes, Freelove is veeery good! It kind of makes you..erm..melt. My fav's are stil Shine or I Am You though.

Itīs better than Dream on though...

Freelove is great, but I'm really looking forward to hear mix of Dream On in the single :)
Actually...I prefer the album version of Dream on.

I meant that I like the album ver. of Dream On better than freelove that's why i'm waiting for remixes.
Dingerz
11 Mar 2001, 02:34
Really Avihai? I think Dream On is one of the weakest songs on the whole album! Maybe 3rd werakest. I like it though, but not as much as say Shine.
Tara : )
It's not my no.1 choice but it's one of my fav there.
I heard the album for about 10 times but I'm very busy so I need to take it into a serious one to decide and learn.
I heard this Enjoy the silence...itīs great!
Why havenīt anyone told me about this song earlier...oh, well someone have done that but I havenīt listened, becuase I enjoyed the silence<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
It's good that you heard it <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
It's probably THE SONG of all this synth electronic pop we're talking about.
Definately the most famous (although it's from 1990).
For me, this is the song that started my interest in this kind of music !
It was a VERY good song...I already love it!

Oh god, what a wonderful day : ) First I got two copies of this month's Gear magazine cause David Gahan is in it (full page pic, he looks amazing!!) And then I get home to find out that the tour dates have been released The tour starts here in Canada on June 15th!!!
And there is a pic of David in Hamburg already!!
http://www.depechemode.de/tribute/aktuelles/dave_airport_hh.jpg
The pic is from the German depeche mode page www.depechemode.de
So DM are done in North America by August 14th-16thish (cause they end in LA and they always add dates when they sell out) So that means they'll be in Europe by late August/early September for sure!
Tara : )

They are going to Sweden, I just don't have the dates yet.
And When The Body speaks is far from boring..it is one of the most beautiful songs DM have ever written!! Just listen to the way it ends, the guitar solo and the rest of the layers fading out.. And David's singing... Man, his singing has got to be the best it has ever been. And I don't say that lightly. People said he sounded better on Ultra. I didn't think so. So I mean it this time!!
Tara : )
...DAMN I love this album!
OMG really?!
*maybe should go then*
Not that I like them sooo much but itīs interesting...
Well, I think he sings much better on this album then on Ultra!
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
What about Denmark ?????
http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif
I have to reply (Yes I find time, it's 3:10 A.M. here!)
Dave is still handsome !
When the body speaks is beautiful, one of Exciter's bests! "I'm just a slave here at the mercy of a girl". But I understand avil because it's another Depeche Mode founded on 1997.
I've just understood the connection between Black Celebration and Exciter, it's not the melody but the content - the lyrics.
For example the song Shine : "put on your blindfold and a dress that's tight, and come with me on a mystery night, open your eyes","forget the pictures on your t.v. screen". The Sweetest Condition : "taking hold of the hem of your dress". Very similar content in most of the songs to BC subjects.
Ohh, and there is a quite not good song in Exciter - Comatose ( what da ???)
Now that I gave it a serious listening with the lyrics in my hands I can say that it's a very good different DM!
Ok...DM is coming to Sweden in September!
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
Hey Dingerz, you saw me on the hamburg-photo? Hard to find, but in the back!
So...they play in Hamburg...we should make some party in a hotel i know!
I have tickets for the Hamburg- show! COOL!
Itīs going to be a big Open-Air-Event!<img src=icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle>

Now getting tickets will be one big HEADACHE...
Oh yeah! This is going to be THE summer..
Tara : )
Dingerz...that will not be very cheap eather...but I will do the same when/if AV comes to Swedish cities!
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
Dingerz, price for one ticket is 87,50 DM...nearly sold out after a few days...they also try to get a new world-record in the time before that concert in Hamburg:
The longest DM-Party in the world, i heard about 6 Days without sleep....for this party other tickets are needed.
Oxygenmagnesium, some people can be really crazy! I mean 6 days!
-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
...sounds crazy, but I heard about people coming to a boring 12 hour-alphaville-Party from Israel...hehehehe<img src=icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_kisses.gif border=0 align=middle>
But Dingerz, it seems that you know everything about DM, what about the scandinavian tourdates?

-Iīm your best friend-the dream-
Willy, and all the others, thinking about visiting the DM-Concert in Hamburg...
We still have rooms in our hotel for that weekend.
But be fast with the tickets for the show, they are better in sale than a hot piece of pizza...

Scandinavian tourdates...??? As far as we can see at DM homepage there wont be any gigs in Scandinavia. Do you have any other information...
Anyway...I will go to Hamburg with my lovely girlfriend (soon my wife) and party with our great friends Stefan & Yvonne. If there will be a concert in Sweden, we might go there too, but the most interesting thing with concerts is to go there with nice friends...and we got 2 of them in HH
I have been told from a very reliable source, that there will be Scandinavian tourdates sometime in September or October...this will be announced at the official page.

I have a similar story with DM references:
One day our car broke down out in the middle of nowehere. My dad was about to call a tow-truck, but he had no idea what street we were on. There wasn't a road sign in sight. We would have had to walk a looooong way to find out but luckily I had noticed the street sign as we turned onto the street way back. IT was called Martin Grove. I immediately made the connection "Martin Gore" and it stuck in my head. So luckily, we had all the info we needed..lol.
And yes, DM are here to stay! I am so proud of them, as I am Alphaville. They are two examples of groups who have consistently been able to produce new and creative music over the span of two decades. Neither give up in the face of growing commericalism and excessive musical crap. (I'm sorry, I found The Smashing Pumpkins excuse to get out of the business cause they were "sick of competing with buy bands" rather weak..)
Like I've said before, and as I'll say time and time again, there is nothing like a band that evolves and produces QUALITY music year after year after year. They are a dying breed..and I find that sad..

No Trent. Im with you. Not that I hate DM. I just dont see the big deal. To me they are the most overrated band in the world. They pale in comparison with AV.
Well, I couldnīt imagine the 80īs without Depeche Mode. Many bands, even today, are inspired by the work of DM, and you have to respect that! I agree, that they are not so great anymore as they were in the 80īs, but like everything else, the 80īs was the best period in music - no doubt...!
http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif
Yes of course I will do it!
I know that you would do the same for me, if the chance came. I will have three chances to do that,if I miss the first one. Tonight.

THANK YOU Avil!! :) I really. really appreciate it!! You're an angel!! I'll get in touch with you tomorrow when I'm not tryng to do 402702 things at once. hehe..
DM as the most overrated band in the world?? I think not, DM don't get ANY respect by the basic media!! They're always slagged and never mentioned when ppl talk about great bands. It's sad cause DM have inspired far more then most bands out there. They have truly given to the music institution. Smashing Pumpkins, DeVision, Mesh, Apoptygma Berzerk,Rammstein, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, and the list goes on. All those bands are here today because of inspiration from DM. And if you check Marian in one of his interviews, he said one of his fav bands (at least at the time) was DM! :)
Instead I would say REM is the most overrated band in the world. (and I mean n the sense of truly praised by media) BOOOORING! hehe..
I got 1st row for Dallas and 4th row for Montreal for dm today...more to go still..
Tara : )
Trent, David and Willy, I agree with you. DM arenīt that great anymore. In fact they have never been as great as Alphaville. Their best period (for me) was 1980-85, and my favourite DM songs are songs like "Just canīt get enough", "Master and servant" and "People are people".
And when we talk about bands inspiring others I think that bands like Kraftwerk, OMD and Human League have been just as big (or even bigger) inspiration to other synthbased bands.
Edited by - poul e on 21 Apr 2001 08:01:42
Dingerz
21 Apr 2001, 19:30
Kraftwerk yes, OMD unmfortuately not. OMD inspired ppl lke DM and that generation but were ignored by the new generation. I find that sad cause I love OMD's stuff. (the last album The Universal was his best yet) Human League I never found them so good. They're alright, but quite inferior to DM by a million counts. I rarely see them mentioned as inspiration by synth bands. I'm sure they are, but n a lesser way.
I don't know how you guys think DM are no good anymore, I guess to each one's own but how can one listen to say Some Great Reward and call that better than Songs of Faith and Devotion, or Exciter?? I just can't fathom it! Their older stuff is quite dated and really inferior to what they are doing now. That's what I love about them, that they evolved and progressed.
I think why people liked them better before and not so much now is cause they have stepped away a bit from the pure synthpop. They have integrated more instruments and now sound more round as a band. It is more bluesy now too which may turn people off. But god, I love it!
The lyrics are just amazing and that's a huuuuge part of why I love them. They just speak to me in every which way. Songs of Faith and Devotion has some of the best lyrics ever written by anyone. A real help when you're down. They are so inspirational.
And I think I like Black Celebration better than Violator.. I don't know why everyone hails Violator. It falls fourth on my "'best albums of DM list"
But I guess that just shows the diversity of everyone's different tastes.
Tara : Þ
Love you all !
DM are ... @#$%^!#$% ... everything ...
I don't listen to their early works till 86
BUT it doesn't matter, there's enough for everybody, many styles that fit into one great thing, the music at its best (Vio,Faith,Ultra,Exciter,Black) with new directions that always keep the fans addicted, maybe because they're addicted to David's voice or Martin's words, but it works and nothing cannot beat Enjoy The Silence (although there are equal competitors as Alpha) .

It was quite fun. DM told us about that time when they got hunted of punkers, and they had to run...*hahahaha*
I haveīnt heard Violater,but I think that Black Celebration is there best.
-I love you dangerously-
I have just recently received a copy of the "Exciter" album and some of you will perhaps flame me for saying this but I canīt see what all the fuss is about. It is so boring!!! All the songs are slow and on most of the songs Dave Gahan doesnīt really sing but just talks his way through. I never understood why so many people think he is such a great singer. He is nowhere near as good as Marian Gold or Morten Harket. At least he doesnīt show anything on "Exciter".
I have heard some songs from that album,and I donīt think itīs anything to be very happy for...(if youīre not dingerz will say)
Itīs very boring!

Dingerz
23 Apr 2001, 07:07
Boring? I don't know what planet you guys are from : ) lol.. And this is also the best vocal performance David has ever done whcih most of the DM community agree. David has a sensuality in his voice that Marian does not have. Though of course Marian does have phenomenal range which David doesn't have. You can't really say one is better - it's a matter of taste and what you are looking for in a voice. It's a matter of opinion, not fact. And there is no way whatsoever that David is just "talking" through the album. The man is singing! I mean listen to I Feel Loved: "As the darkness closes in, In my head I hear whispering, Questioning and beckoning, But I'm not taken in.." AAAAAAAAAH *shiver*
There is so much melody on the album - and if you listen hard it's amazing to hear how they layered david and martin's voice together on the album. You keep hearing things you never heard on the first, second, third, fourth listening.
DM is an aquired taste. To each one's own. It all winds down to what you want in music. But man, for me, DM packs it ALL in every time. 60 milion records sold and a devoted fan base from hell is the result. I find DM is a love it or hate it band usually for people. But they've done something so few bands have been able to do. I am so damn proud of them. The depth of their music and how much it touches people is the main reason why their fan base is so hard core. But I guess you have to be in the same headspace to understand.
But that's why there are so many bands. We're not all in the same headspace so we need different bands to identify with. I like all my fav bands for different reasons.
Each band has something special that another doesn't. Though DM is the only band I find perfect. But I am thankful I found a band that gels with me so damn well. If anyone finds a band that gels with them almost 98% you are really lucky.
Oh god, is it June yet? hehe..
Tara : )
OK Dingerz, so you are a hardcore DM fan, Iīm not!! But I donīt hate them either. I just donīt think that their music is that special. I liked their early stuff very much, but the right word (for me) to describe the music they make now is "boring".
Iīm listening to "I feel loved" right now, and the only thing (for me) that remotely sound as singing is when he says/sings "I feeeeel loved". Maybe thats why he does it app. 50 times during the track?
But I can see what you mean when you say he has sensuality in his voice, but that does nothing for me. For me singing is the way Marian or Morten Harket does it.
DM has a lot of fans, yes. But for me they are very overrated.
Dingerz is very right in this question, itīs a matter of taste. But I donīt think that DM is so special, while I think that AV is the most wonderful band in the world...
And Iīm sure dingerz feel the other way. So itīs a matter of what you like and donīt like...

23 Apr 2001, 15:44
Actually Ive always thought that David was a better singer than Martin. I especially like the version of "Enjoy the silence" where David sings.
Now to get back to why DM is not really my thing: I dont think their lyrics is as wellwritten as AVs lyrics. And AV seem to be much more ironic about themselves and the musicindustry. I feel DM takes themselves a bit to seriously. Furhtermore DM is always being praised for being "dark" and controversial. But that dosent nesseceraly make it good.
The reason Im much more to the AV, A-ha and Duran Duran area is that they make intelligent popmusic. God old melodic pop! Thats what I want.
Still, I dont hate DM. They've made some damn good songs over the years, and I have several of their albums.
David, were on the same wavelength here . . .
And yes Avil, of course itīs a matter of taste. I certainly donīt hope that Dingerz think I am angry with her for liking DM. We just have different taste in music, and itīs fun to disagree.
I havenīt taken any notice of the DM lyrics, I donīt think I really care about them either.
But A question of lust is wonderful,both the lyrics and music!
-I love you dangerously-
I just read that DM will play in Globen,Stockholm,Sweden the 21th of September-the day before my birthday...*hehe*
-I love you dangerously-
Well Alphaville "gels" with me Whatever the bloody hell that meant...But AV is all and everything in a band I can think of...Marian not having a sensual voice??? BLASPHEMOUS!! (Rumours???) okay stupid joke! But I don't know...When I listen to Marian I am taken to a VERY sensual place!! I am not here to trash DM...I just don't particularly think they are all that and a bag of chips as alot of people do..All I asked here was if there was anyone else besides me that's an AV fan that doesn't like them...that's it...I had this weird out of place feeling that I was the only one that didn't think they were all that marvelous...I am glad to know I am not alone..yet I will not put DM down either..David yes, has an incredible voice...they have their good points to the people that do enjoy them, and more power to them....But I did take offense to dissin on Marian *Puts up his dukes* BAD BAD Dingerz...Go to your room...no pudding for you!!! *Is teasing* Please do not take this seriously...I am a carefree dude...I like peace and love and all that business....Call me hippie boy born 2 decades too late

Well of course I know that you all aren't going to bow down and proclaim DM gods! I mean we're on an Alphaville message board here!
I do find Alphaville lyrics really good (of course) but I just find DM's lyrics much more intimate for me. But that's just probably cause I find DM talks so much about things I have gone through and things I believe in. It's scary - I get a new dm song and it's like Martin has been in my head. I just think that's real neat. But as I said before that's why I like a lot of other bands (including alphaville!) Cause those bands talk about things that DM may never talk about.
For me, lyrics mean EVERYTHING. My fav bands all have one thing in common: They SAY something to me. I mean yes, music is important, but to me a good band is only good when it has the right balance of music and lyrics. I guess cause DM's lyrics hit right on what I feel and what i believe 99% of the time that's why I hold them so close to me. But again, that's a very personal thing so of course i don't expect everyone to agree.
We all live different lives so while DM's lyrics may say nothng to someone, it may say a ton to someone else. Same goes for every band. I sometimes feel guilt cause I have always loved say Erasure, but as I get older they start to take a backseat cause the lyrics just aren't there...
That's why I loved Salvation when I heard it a year ago. I thought the lyrics were amazing. And of course I always loved Forever Young. So I'm glad that I can count Alphaville as one of those bands who say a lot to me. It also shows that they are intelligent. But DM just hits me deeper most times.
And if you think DM takes themselves too seriously - go watch the video to It's No Good hehe..

I like DM very much, but only the 'old' songs. I don't like their new single. It is boring, I think. But I also liked 'It's no good' and that is from the 90s.

Ah who wants sweet..bleh.. I like moody and dangerous : ) David looks like he did in 1987, I can't believe the boy is 39. (well almost) He seems to be defying the aging process, it's fantastic. I love it that he's so happy now. And Dream is is one of the worst songs on Exciter, so don't judge the whole album by that! It's like judging all of Prostitute by Beethoven.. (although I'm beggining to like that song oddly enough..)
And yes, Avil, you'll have to write me again. They did lose your e-mail cause I never got it! (they lost 80% of my e-mails, fantastic huh?) You didn't save the message you sent?
Tara : )
No I didnīt,but I can write it again,no probs. You will have the mail in some minutes.

I NEED their new video dammit! Hopefully I can catch it soon - David looks so damn good in it!
I want their next single to be Dead Of Night cause it's such a great song, but the second single is I Feel Loved. I like that too though, so I won't complain. They are pulling some neat songs out of the vaults to play live!

Itīs nothing wrong with his voice in the song,only this that the song is so boring.

Sometimes the so called "boring songs" are the songs which are living longer in my mind than the so called "hits in the first second"...
Edited by - stefan on 30 Apr 2001 00:52:46
I like the new single! First I thought.. MAN!! this is boring! <img src=icon_smile_sleepy.gif border=0 align=middle> but the second time, it was much better! actually the new album is really great! Got a copy thru an old DJ friend! The sounds are Weird at first and the melodies feels simple!

Amen Stefan! And yes, it's true. The more you listen to Exciter the more you hear. It is not simple at all. There are a ton of sounds buried in this album. There are sounds you cannot hear the first couple of listens. Exciter is the type of album thar grows on you. Most albums I don't like that much first are the ones that have the longest, lasting appeal. Figure that out!
It's not too far away for the release! And I'm happy cause it is now rumored that Dead Of Night is planned as a single!! *does a happy dance* I never thought it would be a single..
Avil - I will get back to you, promise. I just have to get my exams out of the way and finish getting all the DM tickets. It has been such a frustrating process!

OK OK, I will buy Exciter when it comes then!! *mutters* ;)
Dingerz, itīs OK, I understand. I feel the same...*lol*

I have.. umm.. sort of had the album for a month or so, and have listened quite a lot to it. I like it. Many of the songs grow as you listen.
You can't compare DM to AV. DM is to me monotonous lead vocals with strange synth sounds. A monotonous line for one instrument with strange vocals. Exciter is DM.
A few of you have mentioned "I feel loved", and I think this is one of the tracks that stands out early when you listen to Exciter. It's aggressive and emotional. It's a song you listen to when it's on.
The first single, "Dream on", is an interesting song. On the recent albums they have chosen songs I didn't like as much as first singles, so this is a step in the right direction, in my opinion.
A song like "Shine" would be incredibly boring without the good beats.
"Dead or night" is a very strange song that I still can't get a grip of. In many ways typical to DM.
I like what they've done with "The sweetest condition". To call it a remix of "The sweetest perfection" would be a bit much, but there are a few similarities...
I wouldn't mind a few more up-tempo songs, but things are never the way you want them to be.
Disclaimer: I've never been a big fan of the songs Martin sings on, and "A question of Lust" that everyone loves is one that I rate very low.
I'm a danger in your paradise.

hey folks,the quite fantastically crafted 'dream on' went straight in at number 6 in the uk charts,can anyine let us know how it faired in other countries?
by the way those that think the song is boring should try listening to it rather than just hearing it,the drum track is probably one of the most intricate i have ever heard.
In Germany they went straight on to No. 1 in the charts in the first week! Congratualtions! Donīt know if that ever happened to them? We have to ask Dingerz perhaps...are you also good in DM-statistics?
OMG, was it such a good song???
I havenīt heard it yet. I downloaded it,but it was some other crap.
-I love you dangerously-
Dingerz
09 May 2001, 19:16
Avil - I don't get it? After all those posts about how boring Dream On was, you now realize that what you had was not the real song? Is that what you're saying? Cause on Napster a ton of songs are mislabelled DM and they really aren't.
Dream On statistics:
1 (NE) - GERMANY
1 (NE) - ITALY
1 (NE) - SPAIN
1 (NE) - DENMARK
3 (NE) - FINLAND
4 (NE) - SWEDEN
6 (NE) - UK
7 (NE) - NORWAY
9 (NE) - AUSTRIA
13 (NE) - BELGIUM (Wallonia)
13 (NE) - SWITZERLAND
DM's Barrel of a Gun in 1997 was the highest charter at number 4. So DM are still in the same ranges as usual!
DM's 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion entered the US charts at #1 which was a huge victory for them. It was higher than Violator! (#7 US) Very few bands from overseas have had a #1. (under 10 bands have done it)
People are People hit UK #4, but that took a while, which is why Barrel of a Gun hitting it right after release was the highest chart.
Just Can't Get Enough hit UK #8 so as you can see DM's popularity and success has been better in the 1990's and now 2000's than it was in the 1980's. Pretty neat huh? : )
Most of DM's hits are anywhere from #4 to #22
With the 1997 and 2001 releases hitting in the top 10, it rather looks as if DM's sucess is quite strong. It is great to see them maintain their status in the music scene, playing with the big boys. Dream On commanded 12% of music single sales last week all on their OWN.
Anyways, just some stats.
PS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!

The rock version you heard of 'Enjoy The Silence' is probably the version by 'Failure' from the 'For The Masses' tribute lp (1998,1500 records,cat.no.540 919-2,www.15000records.com)and is really good,theres also version of DM songs by 'The Cure','Smashing Pumpkins','Gus Gus','Meat Beat manifesto' and a load of others,if anyone's thinking of buying it check out 'Locust's' version of 'Master and Servant' those who already have it will know what i mean.

Oh well, itīs just a concert and Iīve seen them 6 times already, first time in 1984 - anyway, they were best in the 80īs.

Dingerz
14 May 2001, 23:23
Oh willy - you'll miss out! Best in the 80's? noooooooo waaay! Alright, yes that is my opinion. :) But I think that Alphaville are better now too. Both DM and Alphaville are just far more mature now, so I can't understand when people say that older stuff is better. But that's just me I guess. The best DM concert was devotional 1993 so far in my opinion. (the atmosphere was amazing) Singles tours are usually boring no matter what group, so that's why the DM 1998 shows were good, but not great. This concert looks to be amazing! (they are pulling a lot of stuff out of thr archives, especially from the black celebration era) I would love it if they could be silly and do something like Photographic. Such a silly dinky song, but nostalgic.
Seeing a band before in other years is not the same as later. If you saw alphaville 4 years ago, is that the same as seeing them now? Though ticketmaster does release good seats close to the concert date. (I had friends get floors in 1998 4 days before the concert.) And simpledumbpilot - I so agree! Put Westlife on that charter plane destined for crash city..lol.
And charts mean nothing. If they did then Alphaville pretty much sucks huh? I mean afterall, spice girls and britney spears have far superior songs than DM and alphaville....NOT! It's just good to see dm command top spots onthe charts right away cause it means that they still have the devoted fanbase that runs out the day the single/album is released to buy it. Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash have the same thing. They go up up up the charts, then down. That's cause they don't appeal to top 40 listeners.
Tara
Ahhhh, I agree that Alphaville are better now than in the 80īs, but not Depeche Mode. Why? Well, personal taste, I guess, and remember Dingerz!! Thereīs nothing wrong with that, I still enjoy DM very much, Iīm just saying I like the music better in the 80īs than now, and donīt take my post to seriously, Iīm going to this concert for sure - I will never miss out on a DM concert! They are fabulous live !!
http://www.alphaville.org/images/dance.gif
So, today was the official release- date of "Exciter" in Germany - and...perfect!
Same like Salvation, one feeling through the whole album, i love it. I think my tonight favourite will be "comatose".
And think about Marian Gold singing some vocals on "easy tiger"!
Other favourites: "freelove", "goodnight lovers", "i am you" and "when body speaks"...sounds like U2, but thatīs a compliment and they also have the same guy for the photos!
One photo in the booklet looks the same as U2s "Achtung Baby-booklet".
On the german amazon-site there are a lot of dm-fans making a review on exciter, they say that itīs boring and too much guitars, and they just give 4 from 5 points, because itīs Depeche Mode, and in the past everything was better. Oh, I hate this,but know the same too-much-guitars-too-less-80s-discussion from alphaville fans. Life without changing is nothing to live for. Think about somebody who talks to you in your youth, that you are a good guy, but from now on you are not allowed to change...no chance to survive, i think. But thatīs just my feeling for this, because i love the new things. I can also understand Willy, because itīs a question of personal taste, and I can respect his view much more, than the opinion of those fans who just say that they love everything, just because itīs Depeche Mode...thatīs no serious reason.
I love Exciter!

15 May 2001, 01:13
Willy, from your last post it sounded like you were absolutely NOT going to go cause well, it didn't matter since you saw dm before. I was just confused cause you were so eager to find out the tour dates before so it seemed odd that suddenly you couldn't care less.
And it is perfectly fine to think a bands older stuff better than newer. (for example people who like pure synth don't like dm gettng more soulful, adding more guitar, etc) But I guess cause I love new DM so damn much I can't wrap my head around someone thinking Some Great Reward or Construction Time Again better! It is so **ODD** to me.
I also guess I am touting Exciter so much is cause it is simply amazing - not just cause it is DM. I have not been this happy with an album in general since 1993's Songs of Faith and Devotion (which I thnk is the best album ever by any band) I have to admit, I did not think so highly of Ultra. (I mean I liked it, but it had its weaknesses) So my liking Exciter soooo much has a lot to do with me just wanting to share this fantastic album I guess. It's the same as me rambling on to my poor friends about how great Salvation is and how they should definately pick it up..lol.
(though it worked to a great degree!!)
I should really be a promoter. If I like something, I really love to share it. heh.
Maybe I should go back to school for PR.

Well hey, it is the second weakest track on the album afterall. I am so glad I Feel Loved is the next single. A fantastic song to dance around to. And in the video David is apparently being chased by dogs..heh. That ought to be good to see.
Avil, you are supposed to buy the album, not the single! hehe. If you aren't an obsessed fan of the group, I always found it better to buy the album instead of the single. I mean singles are $10 and the album is $14. It just makes more sense to buy the whole bloody album for an extra $4. Plus, the dream on mixes suck! So yes, the mixes make the song quite bad. I hope the I Feel Loved mixes are better!

And I think I will have to spend a lot of time with this album, because itīs nothing you can get thru just like that.
-I love you dangerously-
I just found this excellent review of the new DM album at billboard.com:
"Depeche Mode gets back on track with Exciter, full of the dark synthesizer riffs and foreboding vocals that first made the group a modern rock phenomenon in the '80s. The songs are diverse: the understated "When the Body Speaks" sounds like U2 as interpreted by This Mortal Coil, while the grinding "Dead of Night" is reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails. Two things hold the set together: Mark Bell's quirky, other-worldly production and Dave Gahan's still-haunting voice, which has never been more agile. Exciter isn't consistently satisfying, lacking the thematic coherence of 1986's Black Celebration or the melodic simplicity of 1990's Violator. But after a couple of less-than-stellar studio albums, fans who "Just Can't Get Enough" Depeche Mode will be happy to see the band taking a step in the right direction. Thanks to such standouts as the danceable "I Feel Loved" and the first single "Dream On," Exciter is the best Depeche Mode album in a decade."

yeah, Dead of Night is one of those love it or hate it songs. I cannot wait to see it live! David says he gets to stomp around and be goth boy lol...
Ithink the BEST part of the whole album is David's singing. It is by far the best he has done. It is nice to see a lot of reviews point that out.
Tara : )
....9 more days!!!!
Took a small part of a text someone wrote on another forum about DM.
"I guess they needed money to buy drugs. The way to make more money is using guitars, because then you're a rockband.
And by the looks of Dave Gahan in the clip of "Dream on", you know he paid a price. He looks exactly like"

Still suffering from hangovers from an excellent Depeche Mode Jam concert last night. They were really good ! (much better than I expected). The singer was the best !
The setlist for last nights concert:
1. shake the disease

3. policy of truth
4. world in my eyes
5. a question of time
6. my secret garden
7. behind the wheel
8. walking in my shoes
9. enjoy the silence
10. useless
11. in your room
(after the break)
13. lie to me
14. strangelove
15. leave in silence
16. shout
17. fly on the windscreen
18. itīs no good
19. something to do
20. halo
21. rush
22. stripped
23. i feel loved
(encores)
24. everything counts
25. photographic
26. just canīt get enough
27. the sun & the rainfall

Have you seen DM's new video clip <img src=icon_smile_question.gif border=0 align=middle>
It is called I FEEL LOVED, taken from the new album and it is so cool !
The band is at a club, there are cops and police dogs all around.... looks like a crime scene or something like that.... <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
David is wearing a shirt without sleeves - he's got so many tattoos !!!! <img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
There was also a short clip of making the video on MTV.... That Martin Gore dude is so funny !!!!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

the atmosphere of the video is very violent and intence. DM must be going for a dirty underground image.

This is strange because the song is called I FEEL LOVED and Martin said that its about "feeling that you are loved for things that you do" .....
Besides, most (not all) of the new songs by DM are about love and the rythem of the new album is quite soft....
I dont really understand why they made this video clip so "dark"....
