Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel

2005-10-17 / Attack / Reads: 15393

I have right at the front of me brand new hybrid in SACD and Audio CD (and extra DVD) containing latest "precious" from legendary Depeche Mode, LP called "Playing The Angel". It's a long awaited LP, that was very mysterious for a long time, very few knew what we can...

It is true that taking part in competitions can be profitable. Especially if you participate in the Best Unsigned Gothic Act International competition at Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig, in May 2005.  Delight from Skawina, a town near Krakow, was the only Polish band taking part in the compo...

So far I was getting records with industrial/ebm rhythms, which clearly missed a guitar’s kick. But when I saw the description of Decree band, I thought that I could satisfy that hunger. And so I took 'Fateless', the third album in their career, which was released after seven years from...
