Matt,

*** Quoting Matt Munson from a message to Sean Dennis ***

MM>   I have. and also they made 2 b-sides. Newborn and Free. which are 
MM> both equally good. I did like playing the angel. its a well balanced 
MM> disc and quite better than exciter. 

Good, I'm glad to hear that.  IMNSHO, every album since
"Violator" has not been ¨very good (although "Ultra" to
me was okay, as was all of their remix/single CD ¨collections).  I was
pleasantly suprised to hear DM going back to their darker ¨roots.  I know
they did start out as a guitar band before they discovered ¨synthesizers,
but that's the sound that people like.

MM> Pain and suffering in various tempos.

From the TV show I saw with them being interviewed, they were actually
going to ¨use that line as the CD's title, but their producer didn't think
it would set a ¨very positive tone on their releases.  I mean, c'mon,
Depeche Mode is ¨synonymous with gloom and darkness (I do believe the genre
"darkwave" was named ¨after them).

My personal favorite CDs are "Some Great Reward" (I especially
like the album's ¨cover art for some reason), "Black
Celebration", "Music for the Masses" and
¨"Violator".  I do like all of their singles/remix compilations
too.  Probably ¨my favorite remix of theirs is "Enjoy The Silence
(Reinterpreted)".  The video ¨to that is pretty cool too.

MM> A Pain that Im used to has excelent remixes from Goldfrapp and 
MM> Madonna's music director Stuart Price/Jaques Du Cont.

Interesting.  I haven't heard any of those yet.  Unfortunately, I don't
have a ¨decent stereo to listen to music to anymore in my home, but I'm
hoping that'll ¨change with a better job (read: more money!).  I'd like to
get a small, compact ¨apartment system (a la Bose or something like that). 
I enjoy listening to ¨music on the computer, but a stereo is still my
favorite.

I was given a very nice Clarion car stereo for my car, but I can't seem to
find ¨the wiring diagram for it anywhere on the Internet...

Later,
Sean
