Depeche Mode


I've started listening to DM again, after not doing that for many years. OK -- they're good. Probably going to start haunting the used music stores to update my holdings -- most of what I have is on cassette (yes, it's been that long). They have consistently been one of the most sonically inventive groups around, in a creative and refresshing way.

The irony is that, in spite of their "dark" pose, I find a strong element of innocence in their music.
