#Depeche mode songs about lost love skin#

How did you get the crowd effect at the end of Judas? Did you get all yer mates in to sing it or was it a case of some serious multitracking?ДЎ5 people (tape opвЂ™s, studio secretaries, the cook etcвЂ¦) multitracked 6 times making a total of 90 voices + delays and reverbs. who wants to listen to a technically perfect record with no soul or passion? There are definitely imperfections in the sound of вЂSOFADвЂ™ from the mixing through to the mastering but so whatвЂ¦. We would listen through small speakers most of the time. вЂI Feel YouвЂ™ was basically mixed for the radio. The syncopation is a nice effect on a shitty stereo, but play it on something that can bring it out and it takes over the song. ItвЂ™s just that I remember you talking about surround sound not really being viable and that the best policy is to mix a record for the lowest common denominator. Listening to вЂI Feel YouвЂ™ on headphones or a really good stereo, do you not find that the syncopated (I think itвЂ™s panned to the right) bass part is mixed rather loud? Was this your intention. We hoped it would surprise people and make them curious about the rest of the album.

The main reason for the choice was that the track had attitude and was radically different to what we had done before. If I remember correctly, everyone else felt вЂI Feel YouвЂ™ should be first, including Daniel. Was вЂI Feel YouвЂ™ your personal choice to lead off the album, and do you feel like its rock-feel set the tone for how fans and the media perceived the direction of the entire album (since some suggest DM turned rock)? The final version was completed very late in the day and Martin didnвЂ™t say much about it which is his way of indicating he doesnвЂ™t like something.Дave has suggested that he would have preferred вЂCondemnationвЂ™ to be DMвЂ™s first single released from вЂSOFADвЂ™. There was also the original demo style as well as a sort of blues / country version. We actually recorded that track in 3 or 4 different ways, the reggae-ish version being the second incarnation I think. Huge fight? No, but true to say that Martin and I didnвЂ™t really see eye to eye on that one. Can you shed some light on these recordings please! Your version was eventually used, and MartinвЂ™s reggaeвЂ“ish version remained on the reject pile. IвЂ™ve read somewhere that there were two very different versions of вЂJudasвЂ™ and a huge fight ensued. It was a difficult album to make at times but I think some of DMвЂ™s best work is contained on it.Дid you ever consider releasing the different versions of вЂJudasвЂ™ as remixes? I consider вЂSOFADвЂ™ to be the best DM album and obviously the best вЂPopвЂ™ album ever. ItвЂ™s nothing particularly unusual вЂ“ just some degenerating (filtering) delays with reverb on the delays only. What is the amazing effect you used on the drums in the middle of вЂRushвЂ™ (album version) and which you used on several songs on вЂUMвЂ™ (it sounds like a kind of weird echo)? There is also a string/choir pad (another backwards sound) playing the same chords in the background. Each chord was sampled individually and then double-tracked with a second but different guitar sound.

Those 3 notes are just amazing because they drive the lyrics and make it work perfectly : вЂњTwoo вЂ“ IвЂ™m hanging on your words вЂ“ Twaa вЂ“ Living on your Breath -Twee вЂ“ Felling with your skin -Twee вЂ“ Would I always be hereвЂ¦вЂќДЄffectionately known (to me anyway) as вЂSplangвЂ™ rather than вЂtwoo, twaa and tweeвЂ™, the sound is derived from a guitar. What is the origin of the sound for the 3 notes in the middle of the chorus of вЂIn Your RoomвЂ™ (LP Version)? It sounds like a mix of piano and a synth factory preset.

WhatвЂ™s the sound used in the first verse and at the end of вЂIn Your RoomвЂ™? This sound was also used in the live version of вЂMercy In YouвЂ™, in the final verse I think?
