Depeche Mode, Construction Time Again, 1983 on Sire / Mute / Reprise

This was the third full length from Depeche Mode, originally released in 1983 on Mute, distributed in the US by Sire. Alan Wilder had joined and wrote two of the songs on the album. (Vince Clarke had departed after the debut album). One of my favorites, including "Love, In Itself," "More Than a Party" and "Everything Counts" just on the A-side. My copy—via Beverly Coin & Jewelry—is a 2014 reissue by Rhino & Reprise pressed at Rainbo - but it sounds great. (Same mastering as the 2007 […]

Depeche Mode, Black Celebration, 1986 on Mute/Sire

Fifth studio LP from Depeche Mode, released by Mute in the UK and Sire in the US, and recorded in Berlin and London. One of my favorite Depeche Mode albums of all time, starting with “Black Celebration” all the way through “But Not Tonight.”

Core Depeche Mode lineup of Alan Wilder, Andrew Fletcher, David Gahan, and Martin Gore, working with Gareth Jones and Daniel Miller.

My copy—via Crossroads Records in Portland OR—is an Allied Pressing with the embossed cover, with Site and TM under the label logo.

“We’ve always written songs about the world we live in — this one’s just more direct.”

The late #AndrewFletcher talked to me in 2017 about #DepecheMode’s Spirit: Brexit rage, #Trump shock, and still pushing the same stone up the hill after 40 years.

“We’re in our 50s — we should be relaxing — but here we are, writing about the world again.”

Some bands grow old. Some bands sharpen the blade.

La Historieta Musical (Jesús)Mar 5, 2023

Dicen que para poder resurgir a veces es necesario tocar fondo, hasta un punto en el que crees que es el final.

De eso saben mucho nuestros protagonistas de hoy: tanto que en 1996 su cantante murió.

Pero solo durante dos minutos.

Hoy, en #LaHistorietaMusical, Depeche Mode.
