EDYCJA KOLEKCJONERSKA - mini LP

A stunning return to VIOLATOR-era form, 2005's PLAYING THE ANGEL is arguably Depeche Mode's finest outing since that lauded 1990 album. But, remarkably, ANGEL also moves the U.K. trio's patented synth-pop aesthetic forward, as best evinced by the propulsive "Suffer Well," one of three tracks here co-penned by frontman Dave Gahan and outside collaborators, instead of the band's mastermind, Martin L. Gore. (Gahan gained writing confidence on his 2003 solo debut, PAPER MONSTERS. ) The back cover of PLAYING THE ANGEL describes it as "pain and suffering in various tempos," and while that description would doom many records, for Depeche Mode those qualities are virtues. The group clearly isn't kidding around, since the first track, "A Pain That I'm Used To," opens with ominous, jarring noise and shifts into a bleak, surging tune. The more melodic side of DM is well represented, too, as revealed on the gospel-tinged "John the Revelator" and the urgent, emotive "Precious." The result of a long-running ensemble playing to its strengths without seeming repetitive or self-conscious, ANGEL is a welcome addition to the upper tier of Depeche Mode records.
