Depeche Mode to start work on new album!
Depeche Mode have finally set a date for when work starts on their forthcoming album, which will hopefully see the light of day in a years time. The band had a meeting just before Easter to make a rough time line and listen to demos. The meeting took place in Santa Barbara, and was also attended by the yet-to-be-announced producer of the album.
Sessions are expected to kick off in early May. More news as we get it!

> Alan, is that your phone ringin? ahahahah, that was a GOOD one man... I am laughing my head off here. Hopefully it is not Ben Hillier, Mark Bell or Flood. I don't want a PTA-like album ever again (worst album in my opinion and very BAD MASTERED by emily lazar).

goddamn I hope it's flood or alan. no other producer seems to know how work with martin's songs. if DM wasn't already huge I doubt any of the post SOFAD albums would have even been noticed.
24 March 08 at 11:53pm

Alan is not coming back people, it's been 13 years... get over it already.

Fantastic news. I would personally hope they choose someone new and fresh- but someone who understands how Depeche Mode works as a band and what their name means in the world of music.

Playing the Angel was a good album but the first half of the album was far better than the end. More world in my eyes Gahan - Less John the revolator lets Growl like an aging rock star voice.
26 March 08 at 1:01pm

Wow..great news! New album and tour! Hillier did a great job producing PTA - but I would love to have Flood back producing a DM album again!
26 March 08 at 1:36pm

Such fantastic news!! Please please Dave and Martin! Do a more synth oriented with more melodic sound album, but dark tone . Another Black Celebration perhaps? Love you guys!! DM is the best!
28 March 08 at 12:46am

More dark sounds, strings and depth. PTA was a step in the right direction but needs more growl and reverb! Lose the instrumentals and self indulgent tracks like Macro and Damaged People... Here's hoping....

This website only LIVES by rumours of a "new Depeche album" to be released. These are all rumours, there won't be a DM release this year.
05 April 08 at 2:25pm

we all need to hope, it seems a long time when we already have been waiting 3 years. Lets all be positive the guys still love there music and fans. Historically there should be a new album and tour next year.

Good luck DM with your next album! By the way I wanted to say many thanks (though it is impossible to say in words) to Alan for all he has done for DM. To my mind Alan's departure was the greatest loss that happened in music for last 15 years. No wonder many people still are weeping. That was time of my life too. Devotional tour and SOFAD album are DM at its peak. I miss that richness in sound, that depth in words... etc. Even now when I am writing this I still can't believe that I will never ever see DM with Alan again. It is cruel! Finally, I hope to see DM once more in Latvia. Latvia loves DM!

Finally it is all coming together!

thank god this site isnt afraid to put this up like depechemode.com which seems to never be in the for front in any depeche mode news and if you mention anything BRAT has a hissy fit and bands you or if you dont agree with him about something BRAT has banned people for the the stupids reasons I think its time he grows up are gets replaced as in its DEPECHEMODE.COM not BRAT.COM CHEERS, ALL
06 April 08 at 8:01pm
44
you're right, he has a hissy fit... i don't like him as well... and depechemode.com is the late site to inform news on DM... unfortunately this shouldn't be their role...
06 April 08 at 8:09pm
45
yes BRAT needs to get over his god complex.
06 April 08 at 8:16pm
46
hey if you want a band that is going to make the same album over and over there is the red hot chilli peppers and U2 Im glad DM doesnt do that the last DM album was right up there with there best loved the LOUDNESS war as you called it .
06 April 08 at 8:21pm
47
I agree and if you have a problem with brat and you email him he will say if you dont like it dont come here that is just so chidish and the the same with his boy friend stevvoo
