DEPECHE MODE IS 'WRONG'

Imagine me curled up in my bed with my laptop surfing the web trying to find any information on the new Depeche Mode album.
If you can imagine this than this is what I have done every night for the past month or two but still NO WORD, for the most part
details of their new album coming in the Spring has been shrouded in secrecy, especially their forth coming single which will hit radios in February.

Tonight for the first time I heard bits and pieces of song songs that will be featured on the new album. The first 'Wrong' is the best I've heard Depeche Mode in a long while - the song sounds contemporary, electronic and... well, Mode-esque! Another song they have played for crowds, 'Peace' is not as strong as 'Wrong,' but then again I've only heard 40 seconds of each, if that!

Being totally candid 'Wrong' made me swell up with tears and cry... it's amazing to say the least and I am usually harsh on their music and if it's up to par - WRONG is. Take a listen below and let me know what you think...

WORLD VIOLATION.... AGAIN

Their press conference is confirmed and set for October 6, 2008 in Germany to talk about their forthcoming 2009 World Tour.

Their album isn't out for several more months but it seems as if tours are announced earlier than the album is formally announced. Funny how that is the complete opposite for some acts nowadays (Mariah and Janet). The truth is that Mode can sell out stadiums around the world if they have a hit record or not - and their labels have faith in them.

I plan on going to Europe next summer to see Mode in London, Spain, Paris and Berlin! I can't wait to see Mode in concert and hear the new material - you never know what you're going to get with Mode, their musical direction seems to always go different ways... in a good way!
