If Ultra was Argentinean?

Checked out this album today and its fantastic. Reminds me a lot of Ultra because of its synthy-trip hop feel. The vocals are also pretty similar, just the language is different. Those who have listened to both am i right, wrong, none of the above?

If Depeche Mode did a set of "obscure" gigs

Last night, the Pet Shop Boys gave the last of 5 shows at the London Electric Ballroom. The unique and special thing about these gigs is that they only performed obscure tracks from their vast catalogue: b-sides, deep cuts, fan favourites and even an unreleased track.

I've got to say, that was a genius idea and honestly, as a die-hard Depeche Mode fan, I think it would be great if the band did something like this, either a couple gigs somewhere in the US or Europe, or a small tour even.

Let's pretend the chances of that happening are very high, what would your setlist be? (It can include track rotations)

My personal selection would go like this:

  1. Intro
  2. Newborn
  3. Only When I Lose Myself
  4. Surrender
  5. Happens All The Time
  6. Something to Do
    - Lie to Me
  7. Nothing
  8. Clean
  9. Sea of Sin
  10. Always (*)
    - The Bottom Line (*)
    - The Sweetest Perfection (*)
  11. Breathe (*)
    - The Child Inside (*)
    - Fail (*)
    - Damaged People (*)
  12. I Want It All
    - In Sympathy
  13. Poorman
  14. Broken
  15. Rush
  16. New Dress
    - Here Is The House
  17. Soothe My Soul
    - Should Be Higher
  18. My Joy

Encore:
18. Dressed In Black (*)
- It Doesn't Matter Two (*)
- It Doesn't Matter (*)
19. Alone
20. The Sun & The Rainfall
21. Photographic
22. In The End
23. The Darkest Star
