Electro synth outfit Depeche Mode will most definitely win
new fans with their 13th CD, Delta Machine. Unlike their previous CD, Sounds Of
The Universe, Delta Machine taps into elements of their previous legendary CDs
Violator (1990), Songs of Faith And Devotion (1993) and even their debut CD
Speak & Spell (1981) and their sophomore CD, A Broken Frame (1982). The
band was known for their melodic pop sounds, but for their past CD releases
opted to go for atmospheric and themed sounds. The new CD relies heavy on a
bluesy influence which works 100%. Songs like Slow, Soft Touch/Raw Nerve and
Should Be Higher almost take their sound to perfection. Although there is no
big radio hit in the collection of songs, which was so evident in their 80s and early 90s releases, Delta Machine is
a solid CD which is well suited for a matured band. As Metro.co.uk explains, "Delta Machine is anchored in
unmistakeable qualities: sinewy electro production; Dave Gahan’s anguished
growl (opening track Welcome To My World casts off tranquillisers and drama
queens); Martin Gore’s brilliant brainstorms. It’s comfortingly (and seductively)
bleak." Now do yourself a favour, and go and buy the CD, you won't be disappointed!
