DEPECHE
MODE
- Sounds
Of The
Universe
It’s
always
a pleasant
surprise
when
DM releases
an album,
mainly
because
one
is guaranteed
that
it will
not
disappoint
and
breathe
some
much
needed
life
into
the
constantly
stagnating
pop
world.
With
Sounds
Of the
Universe
they
dig
back
into
much
of their
previous
audio
adventures
with
many
familiar
moods
unfolding
within
these
(lucky)
13 tracks.
Principle
composer
Martin
Gore
accumulated
a lot
of old-school
synthesizers
and
equipment
which
got
utilized
on these
recordings,
adding
to that
familiar
sound
of the
past.
Their
dark,
alternative
take
on pop
songs
is well
in tact,
and
some
grind
a bit
grittier
while
others
take
the
lighter
road.
Over
the
years
singer
Dave
Gahan
never
had
much
input
when
it came
to writing
songs,
but
of late
Gore
has
become
less
precious
and
here
Gahan
contributed
three
of his
very
competent
tunes.
Stand-out
songs
include
Wrong,
In Chains,
Hole
To Feed,
and
Miles
Away
/ The
Truth
Is.
They’ve
come
a long
way,
and
for
the
hope
of popular
music,
they’ll
continue
their
journey
for
many
years
to come.
