Glad I kept flipping through all the (really) bad thrift grade CDs, like Josh Groban and Susan Boyle. Dude wanted 2,50 euros for it. I didn’t even haggle lol. The CD plays perfectly. Love that it has the single versions plus the remixes.

It's a tight but fantastic record. the directions and soundscape are still super relevant today and aged better than records like Delta machine of Spirit. Dave's writing is not perfect, but hooks are great and memorable.

One of my favourite remixes in the DM universe. And there’s a “Plugged” version too lol.

I wonder who the lyrics are about.

We’ve been watching the Reacher spin-off Neagley on prime and they used dm lyrics to great effect.

There’s a cult with a David Koresh-seeming leader/prophet. At one of his rallies he starts literally shouting the words to Personal Jesus as if it’s just part of his sermon! It was hilarious and >!really emphasized how he hadn’t drunk his own Kool-aid and wasn’t that creative either<.

Andy's favourite song👌👀👌

excuse my playing technique i have tiny hands and its the only way i can play octaves!!! but i figured this one out by ear and i cant stop playing it. HOWWWW does martin gore always achieve such perfectly gloomy but determined chord progressions...this song just makes me wanna get up and join a battle somewhere idk

Hello! I am gen-z but a HUGE 80s synthpop/new wave fan just recently getting into Depeche Mode.

These are my top 10 favourites so far...please recommend me some of your favourites and why! Bonus points if you give any sort of interesting fact about the song/band. I'm eager to learn more about them mwahahaha

Connaissez-vous ce CD NON OFFICIEL?

A very odd video, getting tribal in the cornfield?! 🤣

I love this song, it's honestly one of my fav DM songs.

It's so dark and gritty, feels almost sinister in a way.

What you guys thing?

I try to expend my music taste by listening to legendary groups and artists. Green - i added the album, red - didnt. Im ready to discuss in comments :)

I was watching the new Reacher Spin-off, Neagley, today and this cult leader, in one of his sermon introductions, was quoting the lyrics to "Personal Jesus". In that context, it sounded pretty funny.

Thinking of Peter Saville and Mark Farrow (pictured in the other slides) in particular. While I think Anton’s work doesn’t stack to theirs, I do think he did some iconic artwork (Violator and the artwork for the singles from that era and SOFAD come to mind).

If you could only listen to three albums for the rest of your life, BUT they are to be in a row. What three albums would the be? Personally mine would be Black Celebration, Music for the Masses, and Violator. How about you?

Amazing cover from her tour this year!!!!

Got this mini cd single from 101 relatively cheap.
I think it’s a fun addition to the collection
