So having listened to the song, I will have to say that it is pretty rocking, very old school feel to it (lots of boops and bleeps). Gone are the guitars and drums of more recent work. It is also pretty catchy, and after a few more listens I think I will really start to dig it.

That song is awesome! Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Hell, I go to one here in D.C. just to get in the first few rows. Worth every cent. I've seen these guys since "Black Celebration". And it's true what they say. Depeche Mode fans just don't go see them in concert, they go to church.

I'm not looking for front row seats. I just want to see them. Are you saying I won't be able to get tickets by buying them right when they go on sale?

It's very very difficult to get tickets when they go on sale.

Why won't they play at the Gorge? They played at the Gorge for Exciter.

We'll see what happens. I'm determined to catch them this tour.

I've gotten good to great seats via TM for San Diego, OC and LA since the Songs of Faith and Devotion tours...no worse than most other "hot" bands...

This is pretty cool.

Essentially you pay $19 for the album and anything else Depeche Mode release on iTunes between now and June 19th. That should mean a couple of singles, and they usually do tons of remixes.


EMI Music announced today that they have launched the first 'iTunes Pass', providing automatic downloads of all releases from a given artist within a specific time period. The first artist available under this program is Depeche Mode, with the current iTunes Pass [iTunes] available at a cost of $18.99 and good through June 16th, 2009.

The first iTunes Pass debuts today in conjunction with Depeche Mode's forthcoming 12th studio album, Sounds of the Universe, to be released on April 21 in the US. Fans who sign up starting today get the alternative/dance pioneers' new single, Wrong, as well as the Black Light Odyssey Dub Remix of the new track Oh Well. They will also receive the new album on its street date plus great music and video exclusives before and after the album's release over the next fifteen weeks. The Depeche Mode iTunes Pass can be purchased starting today for $18.99.
According to Apple's information document on iTunes Pass [iTunes], all music is delivered in DRM-free iTunes Plus format, and while the contents of a given pass are not necessarily fully outlined at the time of purchase and are subject to change over time, the price of the pass will not exceed the value of the contents offered. Apple also discloses on their iTunes Store Terms of Service that, unless otherwise specified, all content must be downloaded within 90 days after the end of the pass period.

It would suck if they release everything on June 17th.

Supermallet 02-24-09 06:31 PM

I happen to have $18 in iTunes credit, so I will give this a try.

Edit: Apparently they're not selling it yet. It's listed, but I see no way to purchase it.

You guys see the official video? That was a little darker than I expected.

I am going to be in Vegas by chance on the 22nd....DM plays in vegas on the 22nd :)

Coincendence? I think not!

Like that single. Not a HUGE DM fan, but my wife is. Tickets for the Toronto show go on sale JUST before her birthday, so I think that's a no-brainer.

I bought it last night on iTunes. First new Depeche Mode I have listened to since the early 90s. :blush: Enjoyed these two songs very very much.

The single formats have been announced on depechemode.com:

7" - BONG 40
A. Wrong
B. Oh Well

CD1 - CDBONG 40
1. Wrong
2. Oh Well (Black Light Odyssey Remix)

CD2 - Maxi - LCDBONG 40
1. Wrong
2. Wrong - Trentemøller Club Remix
3. Wrong - Thin White Duke Remix
4. Wrong - Magda's Scallop Funk Mix

I don't believe for a second that there won't be a few 12"s announced in the next few weeks, but that's a solid looking remix package right there.

I too expect the Seattle show to be Key Arena...

and, frankly, I'm glad... I live in Olympia and, though the Gorge is a great venue, as I get older, the trip is just too much. I think the Exciter show was the last time I was there for anything! (Either that or Moby's Area One show with New Order.... whichever was later.)

EDIT: Just looked at http://depechemode.com/tour.html ... it lists Key Arena as the venue. On sale 3/21.

I saw them at the Gorge during the Exciter tour, and what I remember mostly was Gahan saying "It's fucking COLD" after the sun went down. That was coming from a European...

Just listened to WRONG, and it could be the best thing Depeche Mode has done since SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION. PLAYING THE ANGEL had some very good tunes on it, but also some not so great stuff. EXCITER was even weaker, with really only two stand-out songs.

I am SO looking forward to picking this up in 6 weeks!

Supermallet 02-28-09 11:51 AM

Re: New Depeche Mode
 
Is anyone finding any other listings for that limited edition? I don't really want to pay 60 pounds if I can avoid it.

I hate "Songs of Faith and Devotion" with a passion. I've been a fan of Depeche Mode since the early 80's and felt it was a huge misstep for the band. I don't want a spiritual rock and roll album from DM. With Dave looking like a back alley junkie. Sorry. Also, I thought "Angel" was their best album since "Violator". And even rivaled it. It was their first full on electronic effort since too. Well, "Exciter" was too. But that felt so undercooked to me. With the same producer as "Angel", "Universe" is sure to please.

i've been searching too, and haven't found anything yet. i think it might be a little too early still.

Must say although i'm a long time 'Devotee' i was initially angling towards going against the grain in that i wasn't overly keen on the new single when i first heard it...but have to say it is growing on me!!!

Re: New Depeche Mode
 
wait I'm confused there are three editions:

CD
CD w/DVD-Audio 5.1
Deluxe Box Set

on the box set what exactly is Disc 3? Amazon lists:

Disc: 3
1. Little 15
2. Clean
3. Sweetest Perfection
4. Walking in My Shoes
5. I Feel You
6. Judas
7. Surrender
8. Only When I Lose Myself
9. Nothing\x{2019}s Impossible
10. Corrupt
11. Peace
12. Jezebel
13. Come Back
14. In Chains

but the only way to hear the album in 5.1 is if you buy the CD/DVD version, which implies the 5.1 mix is exclusive to... right?
