Once I'd Chosen The Songs, It Seemed

I Started Getting Back Into Buying Old Analog Gear While We Were Recording. Lots Of Old Drum Machines And Synths. It Wasn't A Conscious Thing. I Didn't Consider Myself A Collector, But Boxes Of Vintage Gear Would Turn Up Virtually Every Day.

There's Something Insane About This Business - About The Cycle Of Making Albums And Going On Tour To Promote Them.

There Are Depeche Mode Parties Around The World Where People Listen To Our Music All Night Long. The More Remixes We Can Give Them, The More Interesting Those Nights Have Got To Be.

I Always Hate Explaining Away Songs, Because For Me They Mean Something, And For Other People, They'll Mean Something Absolutely Different.

I Try To Get A Degree Of Realism In My Music.
