Oh well.. It's Electronica... if you put Goldfrapp here, I can see DM, too...

well both would have gone in the indie forum but mute got gobbled up by Emi (which thankfully means that all most of the mute cat gets cheap in the sale )

 

i would say DM are more Darkwave and alternative, almost electrogoth in some parts (im keeping the 1980s out of it as i dont know much about that pop synth stuff, my DM comp dont go that far back).

 

as for Electronica. think that might be an american-catch all term for a lots of things, for the dance tunes you find playing in an indie club and the stuff thats downtempo

 

anyway remember to vote yes for this

the thing that REALLY cheeses me off with Depeche Mode is the way they treat theirUK fanbase....

 

after 25 years of solid support for the band, when they deem to play in the UK, it's always a few scattered select venues.... Birmingham, Manchester and London - nowhere else, and for someone living in Cardiff, no easy way to get to any of these venues.

 

Now, with their live DVD, instead of recording their homegrown and most loyal fanbase in the world - the UK - they decide to record this concert in bloody Milan - Italy, for the record, hardly bought Playing the Angel at all, unlike the UK.

 

I think for a Brit band to do this, and to constantly snub their homegrown fanbase, who, unlike any other world market, has stood by them from Day One, is shocking, and a huge blip on the career of the band IMO.....

they were always much bigger outside of the UK. Sad but true.

 

Anyways - I just saw them in Benicassim for the first time! Been a fan for over 15 years and what a treat to finally see them. The best part was... they were GREAT! I danced myself silly (so yes tigerboy, you can dance to DM ;)) and had a great time over all - and so did the others I was with (only 1 other big fan in the group).

 

I wasn't expecting that much (New Order, a similar group of similar age/ilk bored me to tears at Glasto for instance) so it was great. They changed a lot of the versions/intro's to keep it interesting (but I still knew what song it was by the second bar ;))

Indi - I've been a fan since Day One - since Dreaming Of Me... and whilst they've had passing success in other territories (the US in the late 80s for example), they've never been as consistently popular as they have on their home turf. In the States, they're a spent, forgotten force - and have been since the early 90s. Even Germany, where DM were colossal at one point, has all but lost interest these days - the singles did a fraction as well in Germany as they did in the UK for the last few albums.

 

Italy all but ignored Playing the Angel, so it seems at best bizarre to record a Playing the Angel live show in Italy.

 

The UK is still their strongest, and certainly most loyal, fanbase.

i'd love to see some sales to prove that... No one i know (in the UK) gives a **** about them... except for some of my older friends (er.. .my age (30ish)) who USED to listen to them...

 

They were HUGE in the US tho.. used to sell out arena's...

 

 

well if you like them

'Precious' was one of their biggest hits in the UK... ever.

 

Here's all their UK singles chart placings (highest position in brackets, length of chart run at the end).... they're still having big top 20 singles...so someone in the UK must still care....
