I love these guys. If there's other fans here, which I'm sure there are, what's your favorite LP? I thought I liked Speak and Spell the best but I recently got Songs of Faith and Devotion and I have a new favorite :).
I'm wondering what the common favorite is. I thought it would be Violator. but who knows.

Master and Servant is on 'Some Great Reward'.. a decent LP. I don't have all of them either.
I was also a diehard fan of Clarke's early work.. but I donno, this last album I got beats it methinks. well... it's just so different.

kmfdm has 1,000 of meanings thats just one of them
i like depeche mode and kmfdm
the real meaning, or the original meaning translates into "to pity for the majority"

I like a lot of their work... I even like "Ultra" I think it's a GREAT album... "Barell of a gun", and "Home" are great tracks... among others

I actually don't have Ultra.. I am still missing about 4 of the ten LPs. I will definitely get it though.
(thanks for explaining about kmfdm :-) I like them again now)

Ultra was actually the first DM album I got... and it is really good. Especially "Barell of a gun", I had that track on repeat for 6 hours straight.

my wife is an insane DM fan. she traded various vhs tapes with other fans around the world so I got to see them drunk with fletcher necking on all the other band members. she's pen pals with alan wilder too.

if there are any albums we can call perfect, then Violator seems to be one of them. truly a classic.
i'd say the other albums are great as well, though this one is... (see above ;)

I haven't heard all of DM's albums,but of the one's i do have,Speak and Spell is my favourite.
Most groups debut album is usually their best,IMO.
Very much a sign of the times,though.
PS is Vince Clarke doing an 'experimental/ambient' solo album?

Some Great Reward has always been my fave from D Mode... Lie to Me, Blasphemous Rumors, Something to Do, If You Want... some of my favorite tracks. Gotta hear Dave Gahan's new solo album soon, before I forget and it fades into oblivion.

That's truly an excellent story. :D
I thought Exciter was, err.. hit or miss at best. I liked it, but many of the songs seemed half finished or weak. I'd say the best tracks on it are 'I Am You' and 'Comatose'.. maybe 'Shine'.
In retrospect I am remembering how much I like Some Great Reward. Ophecks listing those track titles got me thinking...

I think so, early use of narrative samples used really well in a popular format.

yeah Jivver, tell us more about narrative samples! I'm still not even sure I know what you're talking about. I mean, I get the gist but am having trouble picturing it. Are you referring to Master and Servant as an example?

i think violator is their best, it's a straight through listen. i don't think there's a song on it that i would even consider "so-so." music for the masses rocks, songs of faith and devotion (live, too!) is great, and ultra is another really good one.
as for side projects, i have heard dave gahan's "paper monsters," which i thought blew. but recoil, on the other hand, is great! i especially like unsound methods.

Used to be THE band! I almost have ALL their official releases on vinyl from 1981-1991...
Recoil's Hydrology is impressive, I have that on vinyl as well.
My fave album is Black Celebration. It was the first one I heard - back in '86' and it has had an enormous impact on the development of my musical taste ever since....
