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...

DAVE GAHAN'S HOURGLASS

I just finished listening to the new Dave Gahan album entitled "Hourglass." My first commentary is the album sounds nothing like the first single "Kingdom." On the contrary it sounds more like the second single called "Deeper and Deeper" on his official MySpace page.

Smart, dark, gritty, and intelligent are just some words I am using to describe it.

I'm not sure how much I can reveal without getting in trouble but my favorite track thus far is SAW SOMETHING. For some reason I always enjoy the first track on any album. Have you heard the first song/intro to the new She Wants Revenge album?
That's what I'm talking about baby... Very electro-industrial!
