Depeche Mode - Delta Machine

Been listening to these guys before I was even a twinkle in an eye.  My family for years has been embedded into the music that is Depeche Mode.  From "A Broken Frame" to "Playing The Angel", from "Violator" to "Sounds of the Universe", these guys have been a staple of not only British pop-synth but a distinct icon in the music industry throughout at 80's and 90's.

Countless bands have covered them and countless bands have tried to be them.  However you spin it, DM is a strong today as they were the first time you heard "Everything Counts" or "People are People".  See for yourself if you get there chance to.  I recently covered an article in particular about DM's song "Enjoy The Silence":

AFGM: Enjoy The Silence

Depeche Mode have announced they will release their [highly anticipated] 13th studio album, entitled "Delta Machine", on March 25th worldwide via Columbia Records (their first release in over four years). DM will release "Delta Machine" in a deluxe edition with four additional new tracks and a 28 page hardcover book (including photos by longtime artistic collaborator Anton Corbijn).

"Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern. I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it." -Martin Gore

"With this release we've completely shifted our idea of how to create an album. When we hit a wall where we realise the album is beginning to sound too normal, we'll mess it up and really give it that organic Depeche Mode Sound.  Delta Machine is no different, and I can't wait for all of our fans to hear it." -Dave Gahan

"Music is still the one thing that ties people together.  People can come together from all different religions, walks of life, colours, creeds and enjoy the same song.  That's still the most incredible thing to me about performing live." -Dave Gahan
