## Description

13th studio album by the English electronic band. Featuring the singles 'Heaven' and 'Soothe My Soul', the album marks the third in a trilogy of albums produced by Ben Hiller. Receiving critical acclaim, the album showcases modern tracks as well as paying homage to the 1980s. The album entered the UK Albums Chart at #2.

Review: Sombre - Depeche Mode's 13th studio album is not an instant classic. When I first heard the single Angel I was left a little cold. I went back and listened to it again and then found myself humming it soon after. That's how this album works. Not on first listen, but slowly and stealthily it works it way into your head. It starts slowly with the opening trio of Welcome To My World (slow build with a dirty fat beat), Angel (one of the standout tracks and a real slow burning masterpiece) and Heaven (slow and maudlin it is almost a funeral dirge - I am still not loving this track yet). On first listen I almost screamed 'up the tempo' as it is a slow start, but they are real growers of tracks. And actually the tracks all work like this, a steadily layering of beats, guitar (way back in the mix mostly), synths that gradually allow tracks to reach their chorus before hooking you. My Little Universe is a great example of this. It starts off sounding like something off one of the synth albums that have been released over the past two years (think Daphnii or similar). It then layers Gahan's vocals and more synth on top before Gore joins in and the chorus breaks into electric noise and more layering. Eventually you reach the crescendo of noise which unleashes. There is evidence here of them listening to those who they have influenced and then borrowing back - to great effect. Soft Touch/Raw Nerve is a great stomping number that will go down very well live. It sounds a bit like Question of Time though. Alone is a rumbling brute of a track that works really well and is a throwback to the decade that they started in whilst sounding very much up to date. Soothe My Soul is an absolute masterpiece of a track with a great refrain and has guitars (one of the few tracks pushing them ahead of the mix) and drums that stomp and pulse in the chorus. Depeche Mode are now an album band more than a singles one. This is proof of that. It won't win over any new converts, may alienate the casual listener on first listen as well. But give it a chance and you will be loving it.
Review: Delta Machine their best post Violator album. - After the disappointment that was Depeche's last album Sounds of the Universe, an album I cannot listen thru having to shunt thru 70% of the tracks, I was wary of any future offering from the band, esp given that Ben Hillier was still on production duties. This was somewhat alleviated by Flood, whom produced Violator, their best album and Songs of Faith and Devotion twenty years ago, on mixing duties. In fact Flood's participation gave me alot of hope, esp after I heard Angel and the first single Heaven, even tho I was told Heaven is not really an example of what makes up the rest of Delta Machine. Then just before release of the album, Soothe My Soul was released on you tube as a video (possibly to spark more interest for the album, esp in America), and this track really settle it for me that the band were back where they belonged in their element. Upon finally receiving the album thru my door, I was not to be disappointed. There are several very strong tracks on this album from the minimal starter Welcome to My World thru to Broken which to me bring thirty years of DM canon crashing aurally around my ears causing a surge of sadness and nostalgic endorphins all at once. I must say I have had this track on repeat quite alot. Dave just sounds so... different, like some kind of slithering soulman, his voice grates, in the good way and intermixes so well with those delta blues guitar riffs juxtaposed with DM's trademark electronica. Martin is on top form on the one main album track he leads The Child Inside (thankfully he sings a second track on cd2 of the Deluxe Edition as well), When I can listen to an album all the way thru again and again, each listen, without skipping thru any of the tracks, then i know I'm on to a good thing. This album Delta Machine lives up to all of the usual hype and out performs that hype threefold. Definately worth getting and makes up for the near disaster that was Sounds of the Universe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AWESOME ALBUM
*by M***H on 27 March 2013*

With Depeche Mode, you are greedy...you always want more. You literally just can't get enough can you. My deluxe "book set" album arrived via Amazon today..... Delta Machine is radical, dark and with deep biosynthesized tones and melodies, the religious reflections and the pain ...flow...... Gahan adds a different and dark dimension and compliments Martins artistry and incredible genius of writing.. Opening tracks are brilliant, is Heaven my fav? or the opening 3? Hard to choose. SECRET TO THE END really thumps it out for example. All the sounds are crisp and clear, a trip back to Black Celebration with Modern power and technolgy. Some of the Album is "Playing the Angel..." style. But refreshing. Gahan and Gore appear much more of a partnership in the vocals. Fletch appears to have been let "loose" on the depth of the synth action.( or am I wishful?) SLOW is Violator like, with a kinda Route 66 type guitar. Quite jazzy. Gahans iron like vocals continue to mesmerise and draw you on... How much talent has it he got...(I can think of no-one that currently or in last 20 years who has his range and depth) Martin Gore chooses "The Child Inside" as his traditional Ballad, crisp and sharp and totally DM, Very "Judas" very "home" quality. Very surreal. SOFT TOUCH/RAW NERVE, a surely chartable track (if someone played it on the wireless) Its catchy and booming and more modern than Swedish house mafia. The bass on "Should be higher" will test you Linn Speakers to the limit and will blast your dry lining.... You will need a Victorian house to play this at volume. Bass Depth is amazing! Again i reckon very marketable track..... if they played it. The album is a triumph. You judge it for yourself. Better than SOU I feel. Right up there. ULTRA level at least....and on 1 listen. There's only way to soothe my soul.... Goodbye? I'm Greedy . I hope not
