So, as mentioned earlier, I got the new DM album yesterday and have now listened to most of it. There's some excellent stuff on there, although so far nothing with the immediate gut-punch of Wrong (which stood out from the first time I heard Sounds of the Universe), and I need a few more listens to work out which songs I'll have on heavy rotation.
In the meantime, here's a video playlist of my favourite DM song from each of their albums, just because:
Speak and Spell (1981) - Just Can't Get Enough
A Broken Frame (1982) - See You
Construction Time Again (1983) - Everything Counts
(this song features the best lyrics ever ever ever, namely
The handshake
Seals the contract
From the contract
There's no turning back
The turning point
Of a career
In Korea
Being insincere)
This is where it starts getting hard to choose just one song per album...
Some Great Reward (1984) - Master and Servant
Black Celebration (1986) - Stripped
Music for the Masses (1987) - Never Let Me Down Again
(this is my favourite DM song and one of my very favourite songs ever)
Violator (1990) - Enjoy the Silence
(also one of my favourite songs ever)
Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993) - Walking In My Shoes
Ultra (1997) - It's No Good
Exciter (2001) - I Feel Loved
Playing the Angel (2005) - Precious
Sounds of the Universe (2009) - Wrong
(notable also for the very creepy video)
...so there we have it. Hope you enjoyed? I certainly did, hahahaha.
