Firstly there's not enough DM chat on here

Secondly, for all you fans, Dave's new solo single 'Kingdom' is already available for download on itunes, 6 weeks ahead of it's general release

agree, never enough dm chat on here.

with a bit of luck, their new album will be out sometime next year and a tour a few months after.
and hopefully more LiveHereNow cd's!

Unfortunately, I wouldn't expect another DM album next year. I imagine Gahan will be on the road again until the spring, then a break before joining up with DM in the summer at the earilest for recording. Album probably not due before 2009 but I may be wrong. It is only a year since they finished the Angels tour.

yeah, but from the bits I've heard (unnofically) is that martin already has a good half dozen songs written and they want to get back out on the road sooner rather than later - mainly because they are aware of their ages more now.
I think the tour thing with dave's new album isn't a certainty at the moment and even a possibility it will be a very limited tour, if a tour at all.

I really wouldn't be shocked to see more from them at some point within the next 18 months

don't know if you know about it or not, but do you use the DCC hub? It's got just about every DM bootleg (vid and audio) you can think of..

DJT75 · 29-08-2007, 2:20 PM

I hope you're right about 2008, agree I can't see Gahan doing an extensive tour really. Loved his live shows last time around - you don't get to see him live in small venues over here anymore.

Friend of mine uses the hub, he's forever burning off remixes & live recordings etc..

Well, it still seems that the band will be back in the studio round about March time to start work on a new Depeche album and at present, Dave will not be touring Hourglass.

Kingdom is a very good track and although I have only heard 50 second clips of two other songs, 'Saw Something' sounds dreadful but 'A Little Lie' sounds promising.

Talking of bootlegs, I record shows myself and have recorded a number of DM shows myself over the years in the UK and Europe, not that I ever put them online because a) I don't have the time and b) I don't know how to

But heres hoping for more Live mode soon-ish

Haven't heard the other 2 tracks yet but Kingdom has grown on me a lot since first I first heard it briefly. More of a stadium song than his previous solo efforts.

Maybe got a couple of cheeky Gahan dates in London & NY then please

Well it's out. Can't say I'm too overjoyed with it, but wasn't expecting an epic I must admit. 'Saw Something' is actually one of the better sounding tracks (lyrics aside) & 'A Little Lie' I just can't get on with yet.

Find myself just listening to the same 5-6 trscks & ignoring the rest, something I normally hate doing with any album. It will no doubt grow on me somewhat...

I have heard 6 tracks from the album and I wasn't impressed by any of it apart from Kingdom, so haven't even bothered with it to be honest.

Got the 2 track cd single and Kingdom does sound great as does Tomorrow. Both very good songs.

From what I have heard, they sound like the most accessiable tracks. Not quite sure why Tomorrow never made the album cut though.

I haven't heard Tomorrow - not sure why or how but.......

The first 3 tracks (including Kingdom) are OK. I'm actually really starting to like the opening track "Saw Something", it's nicely layered & sounds great when the drums kick in half way through.

Some news at last.

Ben Hillier & Ferg Peterkin are in the States producing/engineering the new Mode album. Studio work started 5th May in California, & last week they began the second set of sessions in New York.

Brief news here also suggests an upcoming tour, I imagine not earlier the end of the year:
