Depeche Mode – The Lowdown

They’re the only band to have emerged from the ‘New Romantic’ movement to still be relevant today and exist as anything more than a nostalgia act, as they continue to challenge, mutate and experiment with every new record. But Depeche Mode took more stick from the critics and from their contemporaries than just about any other group from that less than glorious era.

 

So revenge must be sweet when those same oafs who criticised The Mighty Mode all those years ago now struggle to fill a cheesy nightclub on the ‘chicken-in-a basket’ circuit, while Depeche fill stadiums in every continent, and think nothing of still performing to 100.000 fans a night. This 2 Disc set celebrates the astonishing achievements of this unique collective, featuring a stunning disc of exclusive interviews with all the band members past and present, and a disc of audio biography which tells DMs complete story on a spoken word talking book.
