Agree 100% .... I'm still kicking myself for missing them when they toured SA. I can only wish that they decide to head this way again.

any song of Depeche Mode will do.

For sure, also Dave Gahan has become a bit of a "bad boy" and really belts it out nowadays.

Black Celebration is still a top album for me.

I was listening to this record last night...what a great song this is

a friend of mine was saying that Highveld sorta dropped a hint that they're coming through 2014.

I got to see them when they were last here, I unashamedly own the fact that when they wheeled the grand piano onto the stage, and Martin Gore started singing somebody - I cried .

it was beautiful.

I'm not too fond of their new stuff must say - but Dave is so yummy

Ones of those bands I never really got into...I have a copy of Speak and spell and that Ghastly Construction time again. I recall winning a copy of violator and giving it away

Early Depeche Mode is nowhere near their middle years.

Watching their latest live concerts I am still amazed at how much Dave Gahan does still *belt* it out. He really is a great singer IMO. I must admit I'm not a huge fan of the songs where Martin Gore does main vocals. Although he sings well, it's not a Depeche Mode sounding song for me. His solo project, the Counterfeit EP is brilliant, as is Alan Wilder's Recoil project.

 

I'd love for Alan Wilder to rejoin them as I think they did their best stuff with him involved.

I still have all their albums up to Violator on vinyl. Construction Time is still one of my favourites

do yourself a favour and listen to this brilliant retrospective view of the album tiger lily by Natalie Merchant with song snippets (as presented by BBC 4). well worth the 29 minutes..put it on in the background and listen to a musical icon
