Depeche Mode
 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-23 19:18 [#00074160]



So who likes em? I don't own any albums of theres, but I do
love many a song by them... I love Enjoy the Silence
(listening to it now actually) and even Blasphemous Rumors
is a excellent song, even though it's like totally against
God and all that... :)


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-23 19:19 [#00074161]



I remember one time in church the pastor was talking about
the lyrics to Blasphemous Rumors and how they were evil...
and then a few weeks later I heard the song, and I was like
"Whoa, that's a sweet ass song!!!!" :)

everything counts in large amounts! - what a great tune ,
loads of their stuff is quality, also check out New Order


 

Lydia from not from Japan on 2002-01-23 21:12 [#00074191]



New Order is wonderful. Another great band is Joy Division.
Definately try to listen to some Joy Division.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-23 21:31 [#00074199]



New Order and Joy Division are one in the same...


 

Netlon Sentinel from yurp on 2002-01-23 21:53 [#00074212]



hey if you like enjoy the silence you should get the album
violator. it's only like 43 minutes long, but it's
definitely one of their best works.

also check out ultra, really smoothe music on there.


 

Ross on 2002-01-23 22:18 [#00074222]



i really like depeche mode, but their new album really
sucked imo, new order are great, pick up substance if you
can, i'm sure you'd like it, or at least sample some songs
from websites or mp3..Joy divison are great as well


 

Netlon Sentinel from yurp on 2002-01-23 22:22 [#00074224]



yeah new order's latest is way better than dm's. check out
the billy corgan song on it.


 

Papa Lazarou on 2002-01-23 23:32 [#00074237]



Violator and Exciter are sweet! 'The dead of night' and' the
sweetest condition' rock! Mark Bell is a wicked producer,
the way he did Homogenic was perfect...Hunter is such an
amazing track and the beat on '5 years' is unbelievable.

Did anyone check the new LFO tracks at Warp?

Sweeet!!


 

Prunar on 2002-01-24 00:25 [#00074257]



Yeah, the new LFO tracks are wicked! Most of his tracks are
amazing, Fawn and his planet e tracks are stunning.

When is the MEN label starting? I need some new music!


 

Chicken hut on 2002-01-24 01:48 [#00074297]



The LFO stuff should be nice but maybe this should be on the
Warp board. Who's got the most money, Mark or Richard? I
never thought about it before but there's lots of money in
this electronic lark!

I hope the MEN remixes are a sign of what's to come from
Richard, Club trax that work anywhere are the FUTURE!

black celebration and music for the masses are legendary
albums..well ahead of their time..every song on "music for
the masses "is brilliant but it also includes PIMPF..an
awesome slow building orchestral piece which I believe
predicts ICCT-HEDRAL


 

Missing in Ackton on 2002-01-27 01:16 [#00075185]



LFO's music is beautifull! When I heard Frequencies it
changed my out look on life completely!


 

16 hours on 2002-01-27 02:04 [#00075234]



LFO the techno group is as influential to me as Aphex, raw &
beautifull together 8)~


 

Johnas on 2002-01-27 02:09 [#00075238]



Richard asked Mute (depeche mode's labe;) for the master
tapes to 'speak and spell' by depece mode as he wanted to
play with their album recently. Check Mutes website.....


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-27 02:12 [#00075240]



Depeche Mode were pretty cutting edge... they started in the
early eigthies, maybe even the late 70's (not sure) playing
electronic music... this was not much later then
Kraftwerk... and they were popular...


 

Moa on 2002-01-27 02:17 [#00075242]



I e-mail Luke at 'Mute' and he told me about Aphex asking
for the depeche mode music for speak and spell. I'll ask
him if he sent it.

Mark Bell was really lucky working with them, they have
played the 'pop' business their way.

I'll post tomorrow


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-01-27 03:15 [#00075252]



I'm listening to It's No Good right now, and goodness, what
a sweet "pop" song huh? The beginning almost sounds like
something Autechre would do, and then it breaks into the
form of the song... I've always like this song, and it's
pretty cool that it actually got on the charts...


 

Woolworths on 2002-02-01 00:46 [#00077125]



Did Richard get the master tapes of speak and spell? Now
that would be cool for Richard to remix 'just can't get
enough'!

The tom sound in that track sounds just like the ring mod
sounds richard uses.

That gives me an idea..................


 

Chunky cheese on 2002-02-01 02:09 [#00077142]



Richards 'pop' is very similar to depeche mode where it's
underground but appeals to so many people, I wish I could
make tracks like that :(

This is my new project---

Overide AFX and Depeche Fame with cult status starting
tomorrow.

OK, I'm starting tomorrow.

NEW ORDER SUCKS PEOPLE!!!!


 

laughable butane robby on 2002-02-01 05:19 [#00077324]



Old New Order (early to mid 80s) and Joy Division do not
suck, sort of early proto-electronica along with Caberet
Voltaire, though i must admit that alot of their stuff has
become very dated, especially production wise.
New order were more 'intelligent' and more honest than
Depeche Mode. Depeche Mode were posers, much more music
industry.
Depeche mode can still be a guilty pleasure for some, and
some of the singles are fun, but i always have that image of
the lead singer snapping his fingers and dancing with his
hands above his head and his booming insincere voice. ugh!
and i always associate Depeche Mode with the fat chicks who
liked them, and they thought they were real cool nitelife
clubgoers.

someguy told me once that Depeche Mode had the money from
the record companies to buy the newest synths, and just
basically used the preset sounds uncreatively, but it
sounded new and fresh because they were the first to use
them. i don't know if that is completely true though.


 

nacmat from spain on 2002-02-01 09:04 [#00077345]



I love depeche mode since i was 15 like 11 years ago... they
are great... though i never listen to them in the last
months... I´ll go and play them tonight


 

Naphex-Male from Vancouver, Canada on 2002-02-02 01:02 [#00077746]



I think my hatred for New Order stems from the fact that
they pussied out. Joy Division was great...the unfortunate
suicide death of Ian Curtis brought us New Order. I think
they took the synth thing to a cheesy level.------>On May
3rd and 4th 1978, Joy Division recorded material for what
was expected to be their debut-album "Joy Division". But
John Anderson, one of the producers, put synths on the final
mix. Ian went crazy, and the album was never released!
I think Bernard Sumner sucks me arse. I do, however, give
him big ups for his guitar work with JD. Depeche Mode used
the synth in a darker way...almost hauntingly at times. New
Order isn't nearly as creative. The breathy singing can
drive me nuts!
I think David Gahan's voice has become a little tired...he
was pretty cool in the 80's-90's though.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2002-02-02 02:32 [#00077765]



anyone listen to Erasure? :)

No, but I ask the question cause the main member of the old
old Depeche Mode is in Erasure, and so I guess his music
with Erasure and Depeche Mode is similar... shrug, I don't
know... I haven't heard THAT much Depeche Mode... so I could
be wrong...


 

laughable butane robby on 2002-02-02 04:33 [#00077831]



the guy who wrote the first Depeche album, which was very
poppy, left for some reason to form a band called Yaz or
yazzo with some girl lead singer, and they made one album i
think. then they broke up and the DP guy went and formed
Erasure with some flaming gay guy who sings exactly like the
girl from Yaz. Erasure has been around awhile i think i'm
not sure why, copying trends in house, and all their songs
sound pretty much exactly alike and annoying that i've
heard. gay club type stuff. i know i sound like i'm
bashing, but that "i'm an annoying flamer and i'm proud that
i'm annoying" shit gets, well, annoying, especially if the
music is pretty boring too.


 

laughable butane robby on 2002-02-02 04:44 [#00077832]



as for New Order, i think their downfall was when Sumner
started to think he was a pop star, he obvious doesnt really
have popstar talent.

i've always used to really like Power Corruption and Lies
and tracks like "your silent face", "leave me alone" and
"5-8-6", and "everything's gone green". and of course Joy
Division's Closer.


 

dave from canada on 2002-02-02 05:03 [#00077838]



Personally i dont care for them
