Depeche Mode
Mark Bell moved the band toward an organic, spare aesthetic for this project. The results are quiet and delicate, featuring whispered vocal performances. It represents a departure from the group's harder industrial background.
Spacious arrangements create a meditative mood throughout the record. This work reflects influences from leftfield and downtempo electronic styles. It stands as a reserved entry in their history that prioritizes thin, light textures over their previous density.
