My Lovely Horse posted:Yeah it all went downhill after Vince Clarke left. They did okay without him for a few more albums and consistently manage to put out good singles.  vince clarke was holding them back and they got infinitely better after he left. black celebration, music for the masses, sofad, and violator are absolutely amazing. with masses and sofad just being god tier in particular now andrew fletcher was definitely the one that could make sure things were good because everything after he left mostly sucked (dm, spirits, sotu are just god awful).

As much as I love their early synthpop days (basically Speak & Spell) my favourite Depeche Mode song will always be Blasphemous Rumours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oALOHW5VE1E

At my lowest ebb I just remember Auralnauts Episode 3 with Anakin in a robe on Mustafar listening to ‘Shake The Disease’ to pep myself up.

Spirit is the album i have 2 copies of. I have one sitting on my desk (for aaaaaaaages) that im trying to give away. lol. Ive just opened the cover. Inside there is a picture of 3 guys holding sledghhammers while wearing trench coats There is nothing they are smashing, just caually holding their hammers in the air. The guy on the far right looks old. I cant for the life of my imagine the conversation that happened in order to get this photo taken. The more i look, it seems the old guy on the end has the face that says 'im really struggling to hold this up' On the back cover the old guy has a zip up trench coat. Which is pretty impressive. And their hair is symmetrical. Guy on the left has his parted to the left, guy on the right parted tot he right. Dude in the middle straight up. This is art.

Songs of Faith and Devotion is one of the most underrated albums of the 90s. They managed to blend rock, synth, and blues into a sonic concept album focused on faith and devotion in spiritual and humanist terms rather than religious, leading to a deeply meaningful album lyrically that has depth and textured production (courtesy Alan Wilder) that was unlike any of their contemporaries. Playing the Angel was an excellent late-stage album from them as well, reclaiming the glory of their peak years. loving amazing band.

Alan Wilder was def the dude in charge making sure things got done well because everything after he left has mostly sucked. PTA is just ok, a few real good songs (precious, suffer well) and mostly just kinda lovely mixed stuff. In terms of post-Wilder, Ultra is a lot better than PTA tho PTA is better than Exciter.

Smugworth posted:Many many years ago I had an MP3 that was a Walking in My Shoes remix with whale sounds mixed in takes 3 minutes to kick off but when it does. It's decent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FCN-mwdwHE I love Alan Wilder's take on In Chains, slow and steady then everything-all-at-once at 3.20. Makes you wish they'd got someone more interesting editing the tracks in the studio recently, especially as their latest album had maybe two decent tracks and only once they'd been remixed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH5g80OayWo the toothless 'Scum' somehow works better minus most of the lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1Wz27nhlYw Charlie Clouser's take on Rammstein's version of Stripped, play it loud, annoy your neighbours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcmNlu4FX_E

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:except the part where it was mixed loving horribly and had perhaps the worst audio clipping and distortion of any album ever recorded.  I always assumed that was an intentional (and bad) mixing decision; surely someone has ripped the vinyl release to YouTube by now so I can hear "Suffer Well" without it blowing my ears off while blowing my mindAlso "Waiting for the Night" is literally the sound of the universe (see what I did there) singing you to sleep, how can it not be mentioned as a best song yet My Lovely Horse posted:That being said, What's Your Name and A Photograph Of You are two of the very worst songs I have heard in my entire life.

nearly every single weekend of my high school life consisted of "the ritual" at my parents tiny hunting cabin in rural PA: step 1) light the wood burning stove step 2) turn the well water pump on and haul the hose outside until the water stopped running orange, then switch over to the internal filtered pump step 3) preheat the oven to 400 degrees and put 5 lbs of frozen hot wings on a tray inside step 4) slam the depeche mode "devotional tour" DVD into the PS2 step 5) smoke a huge bowl step 6) repeat BY A HIGHHHHHHHHERR LOVVEEEEEEEE

I hear that first paragraph in Christian Bale's voice in my head. Dave Gahan had his taint piercing removed after his kids saw it. https://www.contactmusic.com/dave-gahan/news/gahan-removes-scrotum-ring-after-kids-see-it Sorry for the lovely link. Like the article says, it was originally in a Blender interview, but Blender isn't around anymore.

Is there any official word on if the Blu-Ray of 101 will only be available in the expensive boxed set? Amazon has a Blu-Ray only version (no idea if it would include the 4K download code) listed with the same release date available for preorder for $25 shipped from/sold by them directly, but with what looks like UK packaging, and there's nothing about it in the press release that everyone carried.DEEP STATE PLOT posted:except the part where it was mixed loving horribly and had perhaps the worst audio clipping and distortion of any album ever recorded. The follow-ups didn't get SACDs, but have continued to get vinyl releases, and it seems like they usually got distinct masterings?
