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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Violator yep BUT it's it not a clearr fav... it just-a-say makes the top. i love all theirr albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have any of the proper albums but i've got the singles album (first one) i love the early electro-pop vince clarke stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh what's the one that has "master and servant" ;) |
||||||||
|

Some Great Reward |

songs of faith and devotion Kill Mother Fucking Depeche Mode (kmfdm) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so that's what that stands for! I liked KMFDM until today... ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ultra is my fave. dave gahan's solo album is reviewed on pitchfork, btw exciter was pretty disappointing, especially in hindsight |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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? };> |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've been meaning to get some depeche mode. is there any you'd recommend? btw, has anyone heard johnny cash's cover of personal jesus? i heard it's interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
101 is my fave album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is a HUGE DM FAN |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Music For The Masses is the one I play the most these days. I don't really have a favorite album, they're pretty consistent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
violator, no doubt! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Violator is the pinacle...the older ones are seminal and beautiful! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got the exciter tour dvd it is a great concert and a must for the fans |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw the Exciter tour at wembley, it was fun! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just taking the piss about "master and servant", is their s&m early music really all that? maybe i'll give it a listen.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think so, early use of narrative samples used really well in a popular format. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
by narrative samples do you mean movie dialogue samples? name a song i should check out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I mean the narrative of the song...you should BUY exciter and check that out, it's a right piece of crap! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
narrative samples, what a weird term for that! i like the couple tracks i have from exciter but DM are obviously on a downstroke. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
poor things..... 8 C |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ok at least they're not shite! a lot of bands don't last half as long as them and they're still making decent to great music. did you buy (download?) either of the two new solo albums? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, I don't really like it. when they are together it's good electro pop. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and when they're separate it's.....? they're getting pretty unfavorable reviews but i figured i'd ask |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what do you think of recoil? i think that's a dope solo project. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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 only own Violator... but it's kick ass! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got paper monster ...downloaded..it is ok...not depeche mode but why should it be if it was a solo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well let me tell you if you get the other albums you can start "i love depeche mode" threads or " music for the masses is great" thread hehehhehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Music For The Masses. I owed that tape the year it was released. I also saw them that year live in Budapest. It was one important stage of the forming of my musical taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
VIOLATOR! best evah and evah......must have for everyoneeeeee Gahan's voice is prolly 3rd for me after maynard and bowie! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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. |

|
|
really, you're a big fan of david bowies voice? It's definitely unique... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh i'd love to see them live one day... i have the exciter tour dvd as well and it's crazy to see all those people doing that wave thing during never let me down again :) it's a tradition, i understand. shame they always skip holland on their tours :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw them four years ago when they did the greatest hits tour and detroit was an uptight assed city! no action no movement like the exciter dvd.....even depeche mode were not all that wild on stage...anybody else seen them CALM?????? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
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.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, when i saw them for exciter they were quite....jumpy! so was everyone in the crowd.... |
