Brilliant! DM are back on track. Mmmmmmm, more electronics.

My personal favourites so far are "A Pain That I'm Used To" and "Precious", possibly because those are the ones I've heard for a while and had time to become acclimatised to. But for example "Nothing's Impossible" really touches a nerve as well, the sound is a bit of Deine Lakaien and Klinik, yet distinctly DM!

I'll have to listen more to the rest. (As if this CD wasn't going to be spinning non-stop for weeks here... ;))

My personal favourites right now are Lilian and Damaged People... "Pain and Misery always hit the spot"... but I find my favourite seems to be the last one I heard at the moment :-)

But the beats and groves on all the tracks are really innovative... I'm desparatly trying to find a 5.1 system so I can hear it in full surround sound (apparently there is stuff hidden from the Stereo listener)!

@Matt

Sorry, I didn't get it yet. So much to do, so little time. I forgot what Manchester city centre actually looks like it's been so long since I went there.

I'll get hold of it soon and when I do I'll let you know.

Mdma tells me it's reet good as well :-)

@bloodline

I'm playing the angel right now...

Have to say I'm incredibly dissapointed. After the anticipation it just fails to deliver on the expectations.

It's like exciter all over again.....

Damn, he saw right through my baiting attempt :-x

It's actually very good :-D

Haven't really got a favourite track yet, after I've listened to it a few times I'll get back to you...

I love Lilian and Damaged People, John the Revelator is damn fine blues choon (with a nice sly dig at Bush...), though right now A Pain That I'm Used To won't get out of my head...

I'm quite taken by the really simplistic structure of "I want it all". The really minimalistic beat and slow major/minor chordal changes are quite hypnotic. At the same time, there is just enough instrumental detune and antiharmony in places to stop it becoming completely 'background'.

Plus Dave Gahan is one of the few people who can sing the line "Sometime I die, it's true" with total sincerity :-D
