I really like Blasphemous Rumours and Shake the Disease.

I have like 2 gigs and change of their music in FLAC format.

I also have a pic from when I went to the Los Angeles Tower Records signing deal for the album release of Violator. Depeche Mode was there and what was expected to be a few hundred people turned into a riot. (15k plus people if I remember correctly). Anyways...it was a hot summers day in Hollywood...close to 90 degrees...and I am in a black tanktop and black leather pants.

Funny, I was there also, but it was at The Wherehouse at the Beverly Center.

Depeche Mode: Decent music, horrible lyrics.

yes. thankfully "music for the masses" has some sweet instrumentals on it

Ahhh...you are right. No wonder I couldn't find anything on it when I was google-ing right now. I kept searching Tower Records.

Wow...I was pretty right on with the numbers according to this snippet:

After its release in 1990, a promo tour to publicise the upcoming live shows demonstrated Depeche Mode's massive appeal when a predicted few hundred fans turned into approximately 15,000 who crammed themselves into Wherehouse Records in Los Angeles to see their heroes sign copies of the new record.

Get the Balance Right

Leave in Silence

Walking in My Shoes


These are all owning me right now.

I bought Unsound Methods by Recoil some time ago, dirt cheap, and I think it's alright. Wonder why Alan Wilder left DM? "Musical differences"?
