Tsitaat:
Depeche Mode kasutas salvestamisel palju vanaaegseid instrumente analoogsetest süntesaatoritest trummimasinateni välja, võludes albumile soovitud retro-futulikud seaded.

No mida?? Retro-futu? Analoogsed süntesaatorid? Very Happy

.. Making use of Martin Gore's new obsession for analogue gear (apparently he's gone wild on Ebay lately)

Kujutan väga hästi ette kuidas Martin stuudios kitarriplinistamise asemel macbookiga ebays browsib ja igast heade oksonite hinda kergitab, see on hasartitekitav

Photo by Luke Smith

Fletch sat down a week ago, and talked with the webmaster (Daniel Barassi) about the new album, the new tour, and Martin's fixation with eBay.

Question (Daniel Barassi): Ben Hillier is the producer of the new record. What's it's like having Ben back producing this new record, and what do you feel he and his crew bring to a Depeche Mode project?

Answer (Fletch): We were very pleased with Ben on the last album. Normally, Depeche Mode don't use the same guy twice. Maybe that's because the same guy doesn't want to work with us twice (laugh). Ben's been more tyrant-like on this album. We've recorded a lot more songs than usual, so there was a lot more work to be done. He was really on the case.

Q: In some of the studio video clips, one of Ben's crew is playing a lot of guitar with Martin. Can you tell us more?

A: His name is Luke Smith. On the last album we had Dave McCracken. Luke is doing the same role on this album, basically acting as an extra musician. To be honest, the atmosphere is generally very very good. It was quite smooth. It was even good fun, and we're very pleased with what we've produced. I think we've produced something that is very good.

Q: Was there any particular sound the band was aiming for, going into the studio?

A: There never normally is when we go into the studio. Obviously, we had Martin's demos, but I think one of the driving forces, inspirationally, was Martin's obsession with eBay and analog synthesizers.

Q: I wanted to ask about that, actually. Ben was doing that during "Playing The Angel", right?

A: Yeah, well Martin's got a new obsession I suppose, and he chose analog synthesizers and guitar pedals. Every couple of days, a package would arrive. We'd get the item out, and see what it sounded like. That was quite an inspiration. Generally, I think it's more of an electronic album. There is guitar on it, of course, but much more electronic than "Playing The Angel".

Q: Do you feel with all the new toys in the studio, that it helped or hurt the process of recording? Was there a fear of over-production, or was the new equipment helpful?

A: It was very inspirational, just getting something to arrive that you've heard is good, and then trying it out. You've got a particular sound you like, and we'd say "let's try this thing". There was literally boxes showing up every day.

Q: Obviously some of this vintage equipment was very old. Did all of it actually work?

A: No, they were all in very good condition.

Q: Dave brought some songs to this new album, as he did on "Playing The Angel". What's it like having two songwriters in the band now, and do you feel this adds strength to the project?

A: Well, we did have two songwriters before in the band...

Q: Yes (Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder), but I mean now, in the current lineup.

A: The truth of the matter is I think generally Dave writing songs has really glued him a bit more to the group, and he's so much more confident and fulfilled. It's one of the main reasons the band is really gelling together. Dave's songwriting is improving all the time. You know, it's sometimes hard to actually distinguish between Dave's songs and Martin's songs. On top of that, Martin's been probably the most prolific he's even been as a songwriter for this project. He's written more songs, all of a good quality, that he's done for a long time, which is why I think there's so much quality on this record, going from the beginning to the end.

Q: Do you think the translation for the new songs to a live performance will be difficult, or will it be a smooth process?

A: Certain songs are generally suited to the live situation, and some songs aren't. Traditionally, when we are in the studio, we're not really thinking of the live situation. When we finish the album, then we start to concentrate fully on the tour. We're just in the process, at the moment, of picking which songs on the new album we are going to be playing, which old songs, and what versions are we going to be doing. Sometimes the remixes, for instance, give us quite a bit of inspiration.

Q: Any sort of fights over songs, or versions of songs, that the three of you want to perform on this tour?

A: I don't think it's a battle. I think the main problem is the vast amount of songs. Picking a set of songs, out of 200...if you imagine that you are going to play six or seven new tracks, so that's probably fourteen songs from two hundred songs, that's what makes me very very difficult. And I think the first leg of the tour being stadiums, I think we have to keep an eye on making sure that the set is right for that sort of venue as well.

Q: You have shot some more studio footage. Were you surprised by the positive fan reaction for the FletchCam(tm) footage from Playing The Angel, and how do you feel having the camera in the studio affects the recording process?

A: I don't think the camera in the studio affects the process at all. Basically, what I'm trying to do is film anything that is of any sort of interest. You know, these guys like to be filmed (laughs).

Q: Did you have fun doing it?

A: I do. I don't normally see myself as a very good cameraman. I think on "Playing The Angel", I was shaking quite a bit, so I just tried to keep it a bit more steady this time.

Q: Do you enjoy being in front of the camera, or behind.

A: I don't mind. When I am doing the studio footage, it's sometimes weird because I'm doing nearly all the footage, I'm not really in (the film) that much. I don't mind that too much, but I don't mind being in front of the camera.

Q: The press conference held back in October was so big online that it initially crashed both the official DM site, and the video streaming web site. After all the years, the albums, and the tours, how fulfilling is it that the band still maintain such a high lever of hardcore fans, and what do you attribute that to?

A: To be honest, it surprises us. The live situation is even bigger than it was during the height of our chart fame. Some of these gigs we're playing in Europe...I mean, when Violator was out, we were playing small areas, and we were all over the charts. It's incredible. I think one of the reasons why so many tickets have been sold for this tour is because we put an effort to make every show a really good quality.

Q: It has to be odd to look at record sales being one number, and your live shows be such a higher number. Does that throw you at all?

A: Not really, because Depeche Mode have been going for nearly 30 years. People have been falling in love with Depeche Mode all the time over those years. People like different periods more than other periods. No, I understand that. We still sell quite a few records. It's hard to say that, with not too many records being sold, overall.

Q: In the studio, a "No On Prop 8" sign can be seen taped to one of the studio windows (this is a reference to the California proposition against gay marriage). On the sign is written the tag line "Unfair & Wrong". The first single is called "Wrong". Coincidence?

A: There is no coincidence. "Wrong" was actually written before that. An interesting thing was that in Santa Barbara, our studio was right next to the Obama headquarters. We actually nipped next door, and got some freebies, so we had badges and everything. It was quite cool.

Q: Are any of you actually registered to vote in the US?

A: We're all British citizens.

Q: Was there any sort of thought to persuade fans, or is it just that the band had an opinion, and nothing more?

A: You have to remember that Dave lives in America, and is married to an American. Martin was married to an American. I'm really into politics. We were quite aware of Obama, and the whole election was happening while we were in America. We were very pro-Obama, and we felt the excitement.

Q: Is there anything you want to say to fans reading on the web site?

A: There's a lot of information that is going to be coming out. I do understand the frustration of the fans on the web site, but as I've said before, it is an official site. One of the problems with an official web site is you only put things up when they are official.

Q: What do you see in the future for Depeche Mode, long term?

A: Well, to be honest, we always give the same answer. We've done the album, then we're going to the tour. Other than that, we're not really looking beyond that. All I can say that the feeling around the band at the moment is very very good, and bodes well for the future.

dm.com ja Home teatavad:
Wrong-i live esitlus 21.veebruaril Echo Awards üritusel Berliinis ja
teleülekanne sellest ARD Das Erste tasuta satikanalilt

The legendary British band will give a worldwide-exclusive first performance of their new single at the awards presentation in Berlin. High time for Depeche Mode fans to secure one of the highly sought-after ECHO tickets! More after the jump …

Berlin, 3 February 2009 - Depeche Mode will be among the stage acts at the 18th ECHO German Music Awards at Berlin’s O2 World, where the legendary British band will perform an exclusive world premiere of “Wrong” - the first single off their 12th studio album “Sounds Of The Universe”, scheduled for release on 17 April.

“Depeche Mode have been an important influence on pop music since the 1980s and keep providing exciting stimuli to this day, effortlessly and earnestly bridging the past and future of pop music,” explains Prof. Dieter Gorny, chairman of the German Music Industry Association. “We are greatly honoured by the fact that the band will perform the exclusive worldwide debut of the first single from their long-awaited new album at the ECHO awards.” The award show produced by MME will be presented by Barbara Schöneberger and Oliver Pocher. ARD (Germany’s Channel One) will broadcast the ECHO 2009 awards gala at 8:15pm on 21 February.

Depeche Mode is one of the most influential bands of the past 30 years, with more than 100 million recordings sold worldwide. Since its inception, the group has always stayed true to its creative ideas and ideals – and its original formation. Since founding Depeche Mode in Basildon, England in 1980, Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy Fletcher have won not only critical praise but also a huge fan base around the world. All eleven studio albums have reached the Top Ten worldwide. In addition, the band has a solid reputation as an outstanding live act. On their recent world tour alone, Depeche Mode played before 2.8 million people in 31 countries.

Alongside Depeche Mode, the line-up of top international stars at the ECHO includes U2, Katy Perry, Udo Lindenberg, Silbermond, Amy MacDonald and many others. Tickets for the ECHO German Music Awards ceremony are still available online at www.o2world.de or by calling 01803-20 60 70 (€0.09/minute from a German landline; charges from mobile phones vary). In addition, tickets are available from the O2 World box office (Mondays to Fridays from 10:00 to 20:00, Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00), and at www.eventim.de and all the usual ticket agencies.

BDG PRESSITEADE
6. veebruar 2009

Depeche Mode'i uus album „Sounds of the Universe“ on valmis!

Depeche Mode on lõpetanud oma uue albumi “Sounds of the Universe”
salvestamise. Ametlikuks ilmumisajaks on 20. aprill. Esimene singel
“Wrong” jõuab raadiotesse 6. aprillil. Eklektiline ja energiline album
salvestati Santa Barbaras ja New Yorkis.

“Sounds of the Universe” sisaldab kokku 13 lugu, neist kümne kirjutajaks
Martin Gore, kolme Dave Gahan. Albumi produtseerib taas Ben Hillier, kes
vastutas ka nende eelmise "Playing The Angel" nimelise stuudioalbumi
helikvaliteedi eest. “Tavaliselt Depeche Mode ei kasuta sama meest kaks
korda. Võibolla seepärast, et sama mees ei taha meiega töötada teist
korda,” naljatleb Andrew Fletcher ning lisab: “Me olime temaga eelmisel
korral väga rahul. Sellel korral oleme lindistanud palju rohkem lugusid
kui tavaliselt, väga palju tööd on tehtud. Ta oli ikka tõeliselt hingega
asja juures. Ma arvan, et me oleme valmis saanud millegi väga heaga!”

Bänd esitleb oma uut singlit esmakordselt Saksamaal Echo
muusikaauhindade galakontserdil 21. veebruaril. “Alates 80ndatest on
Depeche Mode olnud eeskujuks ja trendide rajajaks popmuusikas, paistes
alati sundimatult ja pingevabalt, kuid alati täiesti siiralt, ületavat
popmuusika minevikku ja tulevikku,” seletab prof. Dieter Gorny, Deutsche
Phono-Akademie juhataja. “On suur au, et bänd esitleb oma esimest lugu
oodatud albumilt eksklusiivselt just Echo pidulikul üritusel.”

Uue albumi puhul mais algava “Tour of the Universe” tuuri
väljakuulutamiseks peetud konverentsi ülekanne veebis oli niivõrd
populaarne, et kokku jooksid nii ametlik DM veebileht kui ka
videostriimi server. “Ausalt öeldes peame tunnistama, et oleme isegi
positiivselt üllatunud. Meie kontserdid on suuremad kui kunagi varem –
see on hämmastav! Ma arvan, et üks põhjuseid, miks on juba nii palju
pileteid müüdud, on kindlasti see, et oleme näinud kõvasti vaeva, et iga
meie kontsert oleks tõeliselt hea kvaliteediga,” tunnistab Fletcher.

Depeche Mode'i kontsert toimub kevadises Riias, 25. mail Skonto
Staadionil ning bänd loodab näha seal ka kõiki oma Eesti fänne.
Kontserdi piletid on müügis kõikides Piletilevi müügipunktides, Statoili
teenindusjaamades ja internetis aadressil www.piletilevi.ee.

“Sounds of the Universe” lugude nimekiri: “In Chains”, ”Hole To Feed”,
“Wrong”, “Fragile Tension”, “Little Soul”, “In Sympathy”, “Peace”, “Come
Back”, “Spacewalker”, “Perfect”, “Miles Away / The Truth Is”, “Jezebel”,
“Corrupt”.

vanade demode jutt on väga meelt mööda

"Depeche Mode belong to a select premier league of supergroups"
"…a Violator for the 21st century"
"We’re even doing a deluxe version of the album with about 17 or 18 tracks, including old demos from current and previous albums"


EMI slipped the new bio for “Sounds Of The Universe” out to press earlier, and in it is a very interesting quote from Fletch on the content of the deluxe edition of the forthcoming album: Around 17 news songs in total, and demos - both new and old!! Read on for the full thing…

Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe (Mute)
Groundbreaking, chart-topping electronic legends Depeche Mode return in April 2009 with their most dazzling and diverse album in decades. Sounds Of The Universe finds Martin Gore, Dave Gahan and Andy “Fletch” Fletcher back at the top of their game after almost 30 years together. Eclectic and energised, they sound like a band reborn. With global sales in excess of 100 million, including Number One albums and dozens of classic singles, Depeche Mode belong to a select premier league of supergroups - alongside U2, REM and Metallica - who have survived from the early 1980s with their ideals, their creative vision and their core members intact. They overcame internal friction and critical hostility to become one of the most influential bands of the post-punk era, namechecked by everyone from The Killers, MGMT, Coldplay, Pet Shop Boys and Marilyn Manson.

Sounds Of The Universe is Depeche Mode’s latest forward-thinking masterpiece, a Violator for the 21st century. Lyrically, it contains many of the band’s enduring obsessions - lust, spirituality, romantic yearning, sinful temptation and sadomasochism - plus more overt black humour than any of their previous albums.

Musically, Sounds Of The Universe will please fans of every age and taste. From Dave’s overlord chant on the mighty first single Wrong to Martin’s velvet-lined Scott Walker croon on the sensual lounge-music ballad Jezebel, and from the sci-fi gospel-blues hymn In Chains to the sleazy electronic glam-rock stomp Corrupt, this is a classic Depeche Mode album.

As they approach their 30th anniversary, Depeche Mode are on a personal and musical high. Old tensions have been resolved, hatchets buried and bad habits conquered. Recorded in Santa Barbara and New York, Sounds Of The Universe was born from positive creative chemistry, and it really shows.

“It’s a tremendous record, just to blow our own trumpet,” laughs Dave. “We’ve had the luxury this time of recording a lot more songs than we really need, all of which have been of great quality.”

“All of us have had a really good time being together,” says Martin. “The overall atmosphere in the studio has been fantastic. Very few issues. We were very focussed.”

“The overriding thrust of the album is the number of high quality songs,” Andy agrees. “Martin’s been writing really prolifically, to a high standard. We’ve recorded about 20 songs, which is pretty good for Depeche Mode. We’re even doing a deluxe version of the album with about 17 or 18 tracks, including old demos from current and previous albums.”

The album title Sounds Of The Universe has various meanings, from its spiritual subtext to its retro-futuristic arrangements. “We’ve used a lot of old analogue synthesisers and drum machines, which conjure up image of the universe and space travel somehow,” Martin explains. “We’ve gone back to a lot of old vintage gear, without making the album sound too retro. It’s like yesterday’s future. That’s why for me it’s a perfect album title.”

Sounds Of The Universe marks a reunion between Depeche Mode and Ben Hillier, who previously produced their 2005 album Playing The Angel. A gifted all-rounder who has worked with full orchestras and rock bands, Hillier gave the album a timeless sound palette blending vintage bleeps and beats with contemporary electronic textures. “We all felt it would be stupid not to work with Ben again,” says Martin. “He’s just one of those people who puts his mind to something and becomes instantly professional at it. He’s also quite forceful. That’s important for us, at this stage of our career, to have someone willing to stick their neck out and disagree with us.”

Like Playing The Angel, Sounds Of The Universe features writing credits for both Martin and Dave. After honing his talents on two solo albums, Dave has earned his place as Depeche Mode’s second songwriter. “The fact that Dave has started writing songs has done a lot of good for the band because his confidence is much higher now,” says Andy. “He feels a lot more attached to the band because of that.”

In fact, Sounds Of The Universe is the closest collaboration yet between Depeche Mode’s two main songwriters. Martin and Dave share vocals on several songs and they have even co-written one track on this record. It felt like “a true partnership”, says Dave. “I think in a blind test people would find it difficult to tell who wrote which songs,” adds Martin.

The first single from the album, Wrong grabs the listener’s attention from its first stack-heeled, staccato shriek. Over stomping beats and screeching synthesisers, Dave hammers out Martin’s darkly comic reflections on a lifetime of mistakes, misdeeds and bad decisions. Instantly addictive, Wrong clearly has a guaranteed future as a skypunching stadium anthem. It already feels like a Depeche Mode classic.

“We decided at a fairly early stage that we wanted Wrong to be the first single, because it’s quite different to anything we’ve released before,” says Martin. “I don’t know quite what category to put it in musically, but it’s got a kind of rap feel to it. It’s probably as close to R&B as we’re ever going to sound.”

For Martin, another album highlight is Peace, with its sublime technogospel arrangement and cascading choral refrain. It was written back to back with Footprint, a seductive whirl of warped fairground pop, which became a kind of nocturnal sister song to Peace. “Both those songs had a spiritual element to them, and to me that formed a sort of cornerstone to the album,” Martin explains. “We’ve had spiritual references on previous records, but I think with this one it’s a little more obvious.”

Dave’s contributions to Sounds Of The Universe were written with his regular composing partners, Andrew Philpott and Christian Eigner, Depeche Mode‘s live drummer. One of their stand-out collaborations is Come Back, the dirtiest and rowdiest rocker on the album. “I wanted to take it away from being a straight ballad,” says Dave, “with a feel beneath it that was kind of My Bloody Valentine or Jesus and Mary Chain. A big lush sound with this droning wall of noise underneath. Martin did some fantastic backing vocals for that.” Another of the singer’s dirty confessionals, Hole To Feed marries modern electronics to a floor-shaking, bone-rattling Bo Diddley beat. The lyric, a blend of rock-star swagger and tender yearning, is vintage Dave Gahan.

“Lyrically, I’m just being my usual cynical self,” Dave laughs. “I’m the man who has everything but I’m still just poking around in that little hole that feels empty, wondering what I can fill it with.” In keeping with tradition, Anton Corbijn again provides the striking sleeve design and band photos for Sounds Of The Universe. Now an acclaimed film director with his Joy Division biopic Control, the “Dutch Master” has been Depeche Mode’s chief visual consultant for over 20 years.

“It was difficult to get him this time,” Andy laughs. “Now he’s won all these awards as film director it was very hard to tie him down for an album cover. But yes, Anton’s still involved, he’s very important to Depeche Mode.” The band is set to go on a mammoth global jaunt opening on May 10 with 28 stadium concerts across the Middle East and Europe. Further legs of the tour will include the US and throughout South America. “We played Mexico on the last tour and it was amazingly successful,” Martin recalls. “We did two nights in Mexico City to 50,000 people each night. Knowing how popular we are out there, we’re expecting a similar reaction this time - we all felt we neglected South America on the last tour, so we decided to put that right.”

For a band with such a long and successful history, selecting the set list for the tour is a major task. Around 230 possible Depeche Mode classics need to be honed into a 20-song concert. “Every time we tour now the set list becomes a real nightmare,” says Andy. “Because we’re a democracy, it’s like the Eurovision Song Contest, voting individually for each song. But it’s not such a bad problem to have.”

Public response to the Tour of the Universe has been phenomenal, with many European stadium shows selling out almost immediately. “The touring thing is where it all makes sense for me,” nods Dave. “Once the fans are there, there’s always that feeling underneath Depeche Mode’s music of wanting to be part of something, and there are a lot of people out there who feel the same.”

Ultimately, all three members of Depeche Mode pay tribute to the loyal army of fans who have supported them for almost 30 years. Their devotion is what makes forward-thinking albums like Sounds Of The Universe possible, and their excitement is what makes Depeche Mode tours such electrifying spectacles.

“We’ve been blessed over the years by our audience,” says Martin. “We have the craziest, most loyal fans of any band I know. People who think Depeche Mode are doomy should just come and see one of our concerts and see how the audience react. The shows are just an amazing high, everybody’s there to have a good time.”

In 2009, Depeche Mode are unstoppable. Get ready for the album of the year from the biggest, brightest, best band in the Universe.

.. jajah ..

It didn't go as fast as with "Precious", but 2 months before the new Depeche Mode single is officially to hit the shops, "Wrong" is now out on the (illegal) digital streets.

Well, that is if you are to believe the various torrent sites. Side-Line tested a dozen of them to see if what was offered was really the new single. And the good news, it wasn't. Once downloaded you get either a bunch of Fonzy Bear songs, a mix of Depeche Mode and Enya tracks or even children songs. A prank from fans or from some more official corners? Who knows. Sure is that we had all a nice laugh.

However... social networks such as Facebook seem to have become a safe haven for spreading correct links to other fans. In the past few days Side-Line received several links to go and download true promo downloads of several album and non album tracks.
