Bit different cover than original, more fingers on the front.
-
First note of "Satellite" is missing! Wondering if all 2006 releases have this defect?

Why does it sound like the vocals were recorded under water? I find this and speak and spell are the only ones like this. -

great press, can sound a little bass and treble heavy, a smiley EQ, like someone engaged the loudness button. -
I seem to have a Variant in my collection (verified ALL the other US pressings... ) :

This album is really worth to check out! Well produced and sounds ahead of its time.
For me it’s all about the a side.
If you like Depeche Mode and you can find a copy you won’t regret it! -

One of my favourite DM albums and most definitely one of my favourite DM tours. I saw them twice on this tour. Used to have a program, a T shirt, and a beautiful little metal wheatsheaf badge. Long lost sadly.
But, yes, they played all of the album. Now I think back on it, I consider myself really lucky to have seen them play the likes of Monument and Satellite and The Sun And The Rainfall. I doubt they’ll be playing those songs live again.
The original Mute album can be found dirt cheap and it sounds fine. Martin used a PPG WAVE sunth on this along with the classic Moog and Arp synths of old, so youve got that digital sheen alongside the typical analogue bleeps and burbles. Dave’s singing is simple yet effective, and of course, this has one of the greatest album sleeves of the 80s.
Underrated but hugely important in this bands history. This is a tentative step forward onto the next stage : samplers and songs about nuclear war. -
There’s no inner groove distortion on this pressing. It sounds really good. If you have issues you might want to use a micro line or shibata stylus.
