I love them! Violator is a true landmark of electronic music. They're among my top 15 artists, for sure! I haven't picked up the new album yet, but I will soon.

Depeche Mode frontman rushed to hospital: reports


AFP/DDP/File – David Gahan of British group Depeche Mode British electronic band Depeche Mode cancelled a long-awaited gig in Athens on Tuesday after frontman David Gahan was rushed to hospital, Greek media reported.

Quoting organisers of the concert, City 99.5 Radio said Gahan was taken to a private clinic with suspected gastroenteritis. Other news reports said the concert could be held on Wednesday if his condition improved.

Around 30,000 people had gathered at the Terra Vibe park near Athens, paying up to 100 euros a ticket to watch one of Britain's most successful and longest-lived bands.

Famous for a string of hits including "Just can't get enough", Depeche Mode have sold tens of millions of albums worldwide since their formation in 1980 in Basildon, Essex.

Their Tour of the Universe through Europe, the United States, Canada and South America began in Israel on May 10 and is scheduled to move on to Turkey on May 14

^ I read about that earlier! I hope it's nothing too serious...get well soon Dave!

And yes, I love DM, I think it's great they're still making good music after all these years! I got the new album a couple of weeks ago, and I'm liking it more every time I listen.

I am a HUGE fan of DM!

For me, they really hit their stride with Black Celebration. From there to Songs of Faith and Devotion they were at their peak.

Having said that, Playing The Angel is an underrated gem.

I am embarrassed to say I haven't given the new one much of a chance yet, but I am looking forward to seeing them for the fifth or sixth time later this year.


Fave songs:

Here Is The House
Black Celebration
Halo
It's No Good.


oops, I better stop there, could go on and on...

that song is the best! and so overlooked. i've played it for hours on repeat and never get sick of it.

they are fantastic and HIGHLY underated as musicians...especially songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Martin Gore and former member and sonic alchemist/drummer/keyboardist Alan Wilder

I have loved it ever since Martin sang it with just him playing an acoustic guitar as accompaniment on the Violator tour..

You might find it on YouTube but I have yet to find a good quality recording, which is a real shame.
