Depeche Mode – Playing The Angel (2-LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Rarely does a band two-and-a-half decades deep find itself genuinely hungry again, but the tensions within Depeche Mode, including Gahan's well-documented personal battles and his emergence as a co-writer for the first time on a DM record, gave Playing The Angel a bruised, unsettled energy that their fanbase felt immediately. Gahan contributed three tracks here, a milestone that quietly reshaped the band's creative dynamic going forward.
The first Depeche Mode album to be produced with Ben Hillier, 2005’s Playing The Angel found Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher 25 years into the band's history, breaking open new sonic terrain with a raw, grittier sound bridging the cosmic spiritual connection between the primal roots of rock and throbbing 21st century Techno dance-floors around the world. It is home to “Precious”, one of their biggest hits, as well as “Suffer Well”, “John The Revelator” and “A Pain That I’m Used To”.
